In a nutshell

To truly savor Casablanca, you have to experience it just like the locals do. A local guide will help you achieve just that, explaining the local ritual practices performed at the Hassan II Mosque and taking you to its minaret, the highest in the world, opened exclusively for you and your small group. From the top of this sacred realm, you'll feel as if you own the city, before discovering its flavors with a traditional Moroccan lunch held in a movie-like atmosphere.

The programme

A colossal construction overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. But also the spiritual emblem of Morocco: Here's the Hassan II Mosque.
You'll be astonished: You're in the third largest religious site in the world, and the gestures and looks of worshipers will acquire new meaning thanks to your local guide. Today, they'll share their culture and country's identity with you.
Only with Costa, you'll climb up the highest minaret in the world, from where the call of the “muezzin” resounds – a call to prayer sung five times a day. Just like them, today you can take in the whole of Casablanca, too, from a height of 210 meters.
And experience Moroccan cuisine with a traditional lunch at Rick’s Café, which appeared in the eponymous movie.
To fully immerse yourself in Moroccan culture, explore United Nations Square, with the Old Medina and the modern district. The ideal place to bid farewell to a city that, by now, feels a bit like home.
