You arrive along the Atlantic, where the Corniche throws up a cool breeze and the Hassan II Mosque sits half over the water, its minaret cutting a precise silhouette against the sky. The tour moves deliberately—first the mosque’s tiled courtyards and carved woodwork revealed in a guided visit, then the maze of the old Medina where alleys narrow and vendors call out spices, leather and brass.
