Once refreshed, enjoy an early‑evening stroll along the palm‑lined Corniche and admire the Atlantic sunset before sharing a welcome dinner of traditional Moroccan dishes in a local restaurant.

A leisurely morning begins with a guided visit to the monumental Hassan II Mosque, where its soaring minaret and oceanfront setting offer dramatic views without strenuous walking. Continue through the Art‑Deco boulevards of the Habous quarter, pausing for coffee and fresh pastries, then return to the hotel mid‑afternoon so you can rest or explore nearby boutiques at your own pace.
