Beth-El is considered the centerpiece of a once vibrant Jewish community. Its stained glass windows and other artistic elements are what attracts tourists to this synagogue. Then, you will visit mellah of Casablanca where you will see a sea of women in brightly colored djellabas carrying and selling fruit and vegetables throughout the cramped, narrow streets. While Jews no longer live in the mellah, kosher butchers are found in the old market, next to other butchers selling various delicacies. The Jewish cemetery in the mellah is open and quiet, with well-kept white stone markers in French, Hebrew, and Spanish where they also celebrate the prayer festival, hiloula, once a year. Then, your next destination is The Museum of Moroccan Judaism of Casablanca. Tucked in Casablanca is tucked into a residential neighborhood, it holds a treasure trove with it being the Arab region’s only Jewish Museum. It presents religious, ethnographic, and artistic objects that demonstrate the history, religion, traditions and daily life of Jews in the context of Moroccan civilization. After that, you will visit Cercle de L’Alliance, one of the centers where Jews from Casablanca hang around and visit Rick's Cafe, a famous piano bar run by an American and named after the movie Casablanca. After enjoying your kosher Jewish lunch, you will go Mosque of Hassan II, then continue a leisurely drive through Casablanca where you can see the famous clock tower. Then, visit the Boulevard, Avenue des Forces Royal, and end your day with a visit to Casablanca’s Habous Market to shop local crafts and woodwork traditions, leather, and carpets.
