Tourist Attractions & Monuments Morocco

A pretty fine sandy beach at the exit of Casablanca. There can be strong waves, which does not always encourage swimming, but makes it a perfect surf spot.

Located 17 km west of Ras El Ma, this beautiful cove with its crystal-clear waters and ochre-colored sand, accessible by stairs, is a victim of its own success in summer. It's a pity, but out of season it offers a lovely spot of tranquillity in a superb setting. At the foot of steep cliffs, the beach is split in two and juts out into the sea. In summer, young people jump off the rocks and the isthmus is crowded with beach umbrellas. A number of beach restaurants serve tajines, sardines and a variety of fresh fish. Water sports are also available.

This religious edifice, the construction of which was launched by King Mohammed VI, then Crown Prince, was inaugurated in 1983. A jewel of traditional Moroccan architecture, the mosque can be seen from afar thanks to its superb minaret overlooking the city. It is part of a 4,500 square metre complex that includes the headquarters of the Regional Council of Ulemas, the Ibn Attya Institute of Theological Studies with boarding facilities, the headquarters of the Delegation of the Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs, and a library.

In setting up this agency, Leslie's aim was above all to show another side of Morocco, that of its generous population, scenes of daily life, villages in neighboring valleys and festivities... Not to mention experiences to be shared with locals rather than simply observed. Offerings range from an introduction to the specific customs of Ramadan, a guided tour of the medina by night, a home cooking workshop, a neighborhood hammam... A true immersion in the most authentic of traditions. A successful bet!

From Bab Talar, your steps will naturally take you to the Chraïtine Souk, the leather shop, reserved for the sale of objects made in open air near the square of Ben Youssef. Chraïtine Souk was once the string quarter (chraïtine) for the city workers or the harness of the camels. This large, lighted artery filled with carpets, bags and other braided baskets of rattan will lead you to the Chouari Souk. It is in this street that is painted and that the maroquineries sold by the craftsmen are being cleaned.
