  • 5While Casablanca is more of a business oriented city, it appears to be in a state of change. It was very interesting ind

    We met Amine near the old Portuguese fort & while it was hot & humid, we walked through the old Medina, where a network of narrow lanes house a whole community within the city. Then through the markets & on to the Hassan ll Mosque. Amine is interesting, knowledgeable & fun! We had a brilliant 3 hours strolling through one of the world’s oldest cities. Thanks Trip Adviser & thanks Avine!

  • 5The Medina - by a Native

    My wife and I were the only tourists who showed up for the "Free Tour" at the meeting point outside La Sqala restaurant. Amine declined our invitation to join us for lunch there, regrettably: What a great discussion we would have had over lunch! Instead, he waited patiently outside until we had finished. We had visited the Hassan II mosque in the morning. Therefore, at our request the tour covered only the Medina (the "old town" of Casablanca). We had been in Casa before on a number of occasions but never dared to venture inside the Medina. The Medina is a very special microcosmos. Amine grew up in the Medina and knows every street and corner. He also knows many of the fish mongers, chicken butchers, shoe repair guys and bicycle repair shops, and some know him. It's crowed, lots of people walking and driving on motorcycles, it's noisy and dirty. You need a guide like Amine or you will walk through the Medina without understanding anything. Amine also showed us the areas where the government expropriates the inhabitants in order to modernize this very traditional part of Casablanca. He explained what this means for the inhabitants: Housing somewhere on the outskirts of Casa, separation from family and friends. It's life changing for someone who has lived in the Medina all his life. We saw people watching their houses being torn down, with lots of police around to quell any protest. The government promises them a better life. People looked sad, conscious of and probably mourning the end of the life they knew. Amine made sure we arrived on time at the stop of the shuttle bus that took us back to our cruise ship in the harbour. Amine is polite, knowledgeable and fun to be with. He patiently answered all our questions. It was a pleasure to meet him. Thank you, Amine!

    We had a great time and saw so much. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient and knew his way around so well I don't think we ever went the same thing twice! I would definitely recommend.

  • 1Disappointed

    Our guide didn’t show up at the meeting place. I contacted the tour company and I was told that he didn’t know about the booking since we booked it last minute. We ended up asking for a refund. Very disappointed.

  • 5Old medina history and politics

    What a great afternoon. Amine is very engaging, full of information and ready to answer any question. He knows the Medina intimately and knows the history behind key buildings and changes happening to the Medina population. Highly recommended.

  • 5The real Casablanca

    I walked two hours through the Medina with Armide. It was a great experience to learn more about the Medina and the way of living. Armide also told about the social structure of the Medina and the way Casablanca is developing. You have to see the Medina as part of your experience in Casablanca!

About Casablanca

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic engine, an Atlantic metropolis of Art Deco boulevards, a seaside corniche and a monumental mosque.

The Hassan II Mosque stands on a platform over the ocean, its minaret among the tallest in the world and its prayer hall decorated with carved cedar, marble and zellige tilework by thousands of craftsmen. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco that non-Muslim visitors can enter, on guided visits.
