Pause at a historic café for mint tea and freshly baked treats. Discover which dishes locals love and why. Learn proper etiquette for ordering and savouring food, while your guide shares anecdotes about the café’s famous patrons and their role in Casablanca’s cultural life.
Step into districts often overlooked, where colourful street art and vibrant community life tell stories that textbooks cannot.
