About the El Jadida and Azemmour day trip
An hour and a half south of Casablanca, El Jadida was the Portuguese fortress of Mazagan from 1514 to 1769. Its walled city, the Cité Portugaise, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most unusual places in Morocco.
The highlight is the Portuguese Cistern, an underground vaulted hall half-filled with water, where a single shaft of light falls from the ceiling onto the reflections. You also walk the ramparts and bastions above the sea and the lanes of the old town.
On the way back you stop at Azemmour, a small white town on the cliffs above the Oum Er-Rbia river, known for its artists, its murals and its calm medina.
