Even though the journey to Casablanca was quite lengthy, the day turned out to be absolutely amazing. Our driver was top-notch, and our tour guide was simply fantastic. His understanding of the city was unparalleled. We had a wonderful time exploring the Medina. Later, we were treated to a visit to a restaurant located in the historic Medina, which used to be a synagogue. The meal we had there was truly one of the best we’ve ever experienced.
