Full Description
Hassan II Mosque
Built out over the Atlantic and finished in cedar, zellige and marble, this is the one mosque in Morocco that welcomes non-Muslim visitors inside. Entry is arranged in advance so there is no waiting at the gate.

Morocco Mall
One of the largest malls on the continent, best known for the glass aquarium tower at its centre where divers feed the sharks. International labels sit alongside Moroccan boutiques and a food hall.
Duration: 1 hour
Beachside Ain Diab
The corniche runs along the Atlantic with cafés and beach clubs on one side and surf on the other. It is a short, easy walk with plenty of sea air and good photographs.
Duration: 30 minutes
Optional Activity
An open hour to spend as guests prefer, whether that is a jet ski run off Ain Diab, a painting or craft workshop, or a long lunch. The driver waits and the guide helps arrange it.
