My bestie and I chose this tour while in port on our Transatlantic cruise. Saad and his driver (sorry, I forgot his name, but started with an “H”) were such gentlemen, opening our doors at every stop. Saad was very knowledgeable about the area, asking us what we wanted to see. It was a private tour and he wanted it to be as enjoyable as possible for us. He took us to a local eatery, tons of tasty food! The camel ride on the beach was so much fun and so relaxing. We went to some local shops, purchased some argon oil, got to taste the olives, and saw some beautiful handmade rugs. The Mosque was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this tour with Saad

Itinerary
Our first stop is the majestic Hassan II Mosque, the largest mosque in Morocco and the second largest in Africa. It boasts an intricate design and is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims for guided tours. Its 210-meter-tall minaret dominates the skyline, and its location on the Atlantic coastline provides stunning views of the ocean. Learn about its unique architectural features, including its retractable roof and intricate mosaics.
Inspired by the famous 1942 film Casablanca, Rick’s Café recreates the ambiance of the iconic movie. This charming café offers a nostalgic atmosphere with its vintage decor and is a perfect spot for taking photos.
Next, we head to the Corniche, Casablanca’s beautiful waterfront promenade along the Atlantic Ocean. Stroll through Ain Diab, a lively beach district known for its cafés, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife. It’s a great place to take in the ocean breeze, and you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the scenic coastal views.
After the Corniche, we stop for a panoramic view of the Hassan II Mosque, framed by the endless blue of the Atlantic. This viewpoint offers a fantastic photo opportunity of the mosque in all its glory. Nearby, you'll also see the historic El Hank Lighthouse, an iconic landmark guiding ships safely into Casablanca’s port since 1916. The lighthouse and the mosque together create a picturesque scene, combining modernity and tradition.
Discover the luxurious side of Casablanca as we drive through Anfa Hills, the city's most prestigious residential area. Known for its elegant villas, tree-lined streets, and sweeping ocean views, this neighborhood showcases Casablanca’s modern and affluent lifestyle.
This striking neo-Gothic cathedral, located in the heart of the city, was built in the 1930s and stands as a testament to Casablanca’s diverse cultural and religious heritage.
Our next stop is Place Mohammed V, commonly known as Pigeons Square. This bustling square is home to important administrative buildings and fountains and is a great spot for people-watching. The lively atmosphere and presence of pigeons give it a vibrant, energetic feel.
Before leaving Casablanca, we’ll take a step back in time with a visit to the Old Medina. This historic quarter is a maze of narrow streets, bustling souks, and traditional Moroccan shops. Experience the vibrant street life, where locals sell everything from spices to handicrafts, and immerse yourself in the authentic charm of this ancient marketplace.
Leaving Casablanca behind, we head to the coastal city of Mohammedia. Here, you will visit the famous park, a lush green space perfect for a relaxing stroll, and the old church, a remnant of the city’s colonial past. This charming stop offers a glimpse into the quieter, more relaxed side of Moroccan life.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Savor traditional Moroccan dishes with the calming sound of waves in the background, offering a perfect blend of great food and scenic views.
To complete your Moroccan adventure, we offer a unique camel ride experience. Camels have been part of Moroccan culture for centuries, and this ride provides a fun and authentic way to connect with the country’s traditions. Capture unforgettable moments during this peaceful ride near the ocean.
After a full day of exploration, we head back to Casablanca, where you will be dropped off at your hotel, cruise port, or the airport.

Communication was almost non existent. Our driver did not tell us that the pick up location had changed. We spent about an hour and extra taxi money to find him. I was completely frustrated by the time we finally found him at a different pick up location. The driver did not speak any english and the guide spent the majority of the ride talking with the driver in a different language. We learned nothing of all the places we drove through and felt completely ignored in the back seat. The camel ride was sketchy. It was a few camels next to the road. The device to get us up on to the camel was a flimsy plastic chair. The ride was across a deserted lot....lots of broken concrete and debris. Maybe the camel was ok with the terrain, but I was not. All in all, this had the potential to be a nice tour, but being neglected by the English speaking guide and just driving around Morocco was a let down. I would not recommend booking this particular tour.
We had an amazing time on our tour of Casablanca and the camel ride at Mohammedia Beach! Everything was perfectly organized, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable throughout the day. The camel ride along the beach was a memorable highlight, and we also enjoyed a delicious lunch that completed the experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Morocco. Thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable day! Thank you Excellance Tours.
The itinerary is the best! It has the camels included which is hard to find. They include all the important stops. Great communication. This is a wonderful tour, highly recommend.
Happy to take this visit tour by kamel, it was a good experience, driver and tour guide are very friendly, I was with friends from London , very like it
We had a wonderful day with Zaid. He gave us an independent tour of yhe area, arranged a fun camel ride. And enjoyed lunch and tea at locally owned and operated venues which was wonderful. I have already recommended this to others. The cost is a great value.
This company is a scam! Please beware. They take your money. Lie about showing up. Never respond to emails, texts or the phone provided! Now I’m fighting to get a refund! Beware!!!
I experienced a similar trip but to Rabat in June, which ended with a camel ride. It was absolutely what I needed when I only had one day of free time. My guides were conversational, pleasant and gave me time for solo exploration. The transition from CMN airport to each site was seemless and I was able to safely store my carry-on luggage in a nice van with AC. I will contact this company again on my next day trip through the Casablanca area.
Souad messaged us the day before to ensure that we were ready and excited for our trip. She arranged for us to be toured by Saad and Ibrahim— two very amazing men who are knowledgeable about the city and makes sure you get the full Moroccan experience! Pick up and drop off to and from the airport (we had a 14 hr layover) was super smooth, the food was amazing! The views were breathtaking and the Hassan Mosque is such a special place. The camel ride was unforgettable— this package was well worth the money and offered an amazing experience to get a taste of Morocco. Please book with them— you truly won’t regret how great of an experience it is!
My gf and I had booked this private tour, key word “private” and ended up in a group of 8 people because the guide sent us a WhatsApp group chat asking if we were all ok with consolidating the travel plans to one shuttle bus because all of the people that had booked this were coming off the same cruise. We didn’t want to but felt obligated to say yes because we didn’t want to be the “bad guys” of the group. We later discussed a certain discount because our private tour was now a group tour and we payed the extra money for the private tour and their response was “Well you agreed to doing it as a group”. The itinerary listed was not followed and we felt like they were just “winging it”. We did visit some of the sites that were listed but we felt very confused as to what we were doing next. When it came to riding the camels there were initially 8 people for only two camels. When I mentioned that this was not going to work they summoned two more camels that came after a while. We ate at a decent restaurant which was included in our cost but when it came to leaving they wanted us to all pay for all of our drinks. People only had either a cola or water but we all ended up paying for our bottle of water or cola which left us a little salty. It wasn’t the actual cost that left us shaking our head but simply the principle of having to pay for something that should've been included in the first place. Overall, my gf and I did this excursion to ride the camels which we were happy to do but this specific day tour was definitely not worth the money.
This was my first booking through Viator and it was a really terrible tour. We did an 8 hour tour of Casablanca and learned nothing about Casablanca. Our guide was from Boston and he talked about Boston the entire day? Wanna know a good place to eat pizza in Boston? We now know. He was not only the least informative guide I’ve ever had, but he brought up US politics and then got customers on the tour talking about it. When we booked this tour, we asked for vegetarian options for the lunch. When we got to the lunch, all they offered was beef or chicken. Then the guide made a big deal to everyone at the table that we don’t eat meat. Really awkward, as we were making do with the salad. It felt like a really long, aimless tour. The only good things I can say are that the pre-tour communication was great and it was so nice to be able to have chat communication with the tour company. The camel ride set-up was nice, too. I’d avoid this tour and company next time, though.
I really like to share with you my exciting adventure I did with my husband, we visited a lots of sightseeing in Casablanca , our guide Saad was knowledgeable, funny and helpful. The high light of this tour is riding camels in the Mohammadia beach. I highly recommend excellence Morocco to achieve your dreams.
Let me gell you: This was an absolutely AMAZING experience!!! This is an intimate tour, from a caring, family owned business. We met our driver Abrazzak (Zack) at our hotel and he was extremely punctual and polite. We picked up our tour guide, Saad, and he took us through one of the local markets in Casablanca and purchased some items for us, walked us around and he even provides some security and keeps us safe, knowing where to go and kept tourist solicitors away. He took us to a nice lunch in Casablanca at a local Moroccan restaurant, we had tagine/tajin and it was absolutely delicious. We toured the coastline and the Hassan II mosque before heading to Mohamedia for the camel ride. There we met Saad's wife and she and my wife clicked IMMEDIATELY and even became instant friends!! She was SO SWEET, down to Earth and relatable! She bought us drinks on the beach and even taught us some Arabic! The trip.was SO.good, we booked ANOTHER tour, the NEXT DAY to go to the capital city, Rabat, where Saad took us to the main palace of the King, the ruins and MUCH more! Saad is AMAZING and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE!! It was a once in a lifetime experience we will NEVER forget and we are grateful!! BEYOND 5 stars!!

It was a memorable day, well organized and well supervised. Thank you to your team for your professionalism and for all the attention you have given us. We highly recommend and eagerly await other programs to discover more of our beautiful country with you.
We had an exceptional day thanks to this private tour! Our guide was not only very professional, but also warm and passionate about local history and culture. Every stage of the tour was well thought out: from the majestic Hassan II Mosque to the charming alleys of the medina, to the relaxing break by the sea in Mohammedia. The pace was perfect, neither too fast nor too slow, with enough time to enjoy the place, take pictures and ask questions. Special mention for the small anecdotes told by the guide, which make the tour even more lively. I recommend this excursion with your eyes closed to all those who want to discover Casablanca and its surroundings with an authentic and benevolent look. Thank you for this great experience!
