How sophisticated and glamorous Casablanca was at the beginning of the twentieth century! The Art Deco districts, the mind-blowing interiors of hotels and gambling houses, the world's most fashionable boutiques.
And nearby, in the medina, life went on, the rhythm of which was driven for centuries by the muezzin's cry. Just as hundreds of years ago, people were engaged in crafts, trading, going to the mosque, and, upon coming out, engaging in superstitions. And to this day, it's still the same.
But there is another Casablanca – a modern one. It is a metropolis filled with crazy energy, the most promising city in the Arab world. Innovative technologies, beautiful modern architecture and designer areas are born here.
During our tour of Casablanca, you will have the opportunity to travel through time and get a glimpse into all these different lives.
