The tour begins on a humid Casablanca morning as the city’s Atlantic breeze pushes traffic along the corniche and the Hassan II Mosque’s minaret slices the sky. Travelers move from coastal modernity into mountain-blue alleys, through medina gates where the air tastes of spices and fresh-baked khobz.
