The story

The last stop of the tour is Casablanca, the largest city in Africa after Cairo. With one of the largest ports on the continent and broad avenues, Casablanca has a modern look, with the central Mohammed V square at its heart, the Royal Palace and the brand-new Hassan II mosque, the largest in the world, able to hold more than 20,000 worshippers inside and a further 80,000 outside, also famous for its very tall minaret (210 metres) which doubles as a lighthouse for the port. Even more beautiful, in my opinion, is the old part of the city, with its white and blue houses, almost as if we were in Greece. In conclusion, a wonderful experience, this first trip to Morocco. Another will probably follow, heading south, beyond the Atlas, to discover the desert.

Excellent assistance from Francorosso, extremely prompt in refunding us, after just 10 days, part of the price for the disruption at departure (a 5-6 hour delay that cost us a night's sleep) that was certainly not their fault.
