From Casablanca To El Jadida and Portuguese Fortress

Tour Plan

This is one of the best day trips from Casablanca to visit El Jadida, originally called Mazagan, which is a Moroccan city located on the Atlantic coast about 100 kilometers from Casablanca. The city is not huge. Your private tour allows you to discover El Jadida and enjoy the beach and quietness of this charming little town.

Take the time to stroll through the narrow streets of the small Portuguese town and explore its ramparts. Do not miss the Portuguese cistern, the underground water supply; built during the construction of the Portuguese citadel in the early sixteenth century.

Enjoy beautiful views of the city skyline and the ocean. You can observe the fishermen who go out to sea in small boats like those of Essaouira. You can relax by the sea and enjoy the quiet beach. And like most coastal cities in Morocco, it is possible to eat many varieties of freshly caught fish or buy fresh fish for grilling. A delight!

At the end of the day, you can walk on a dike near the city to enjoy the magic colors of the sunset.
