Even though there are no longer any Jews living in Casablancaโs historic Jewish Mellah, itโs still an excellent spot to go and check out the kosher butchers.
The Jewish cemetery in the mellah is where we will make our next trip. Here, we will see lovely white stone markers with inscriptions in French, Hebrew, and Spanish.
The Museum of Moroccan Judaism, founded by the Casablanca Jewish Community in 1997, is home to a wide variety of religious, anthropological, and artistic items that highlight Jewish daily life.

Once called Sijilmassa, this was the meeting place for the salt caravans, coming from Tombouctou in Mali. Here youโll walk through the souk, selling spices, vegetables, and clothes. Drive back to the village of Merzouga. In the afternoon, you will ride your camel, guided by an experienced camel man to explore what is hidden in the middle of the highest sand dunes in morocco.
