Frequently Asked Questions

Is the mosque interior visit guaranteed?

Not guaranteed—it depends on the daily tour schedule and prayer times. We plan the day around the best available slot.

Can I skip the mosque interior?

Yes—enjoy the esplanade, ocean views, and café time instead.

Where's the best lunch spot?

Casual seafood along the Corniche or traditional Moroccan near the Central Market; we'll match your budget and taste.

How long is the day?

About 13 hours door-to-door, including highway time and city touring.

What about shopping?

Habous is great for tasteful crafts, books, and pastries; the Old Medina has a more traditional souk feel.
