About This Tour
Just an hour south of Casablanca lies Azemmour, a charming town perched on a cliff overlooking the Oum Er-Rbia River. Often overlooked by tourists, this white-washed medina offers an authentic slice of Moroccan life, free from the crowds.

We combined this with El Jadida as suggested. Azemmour has a very different, artistic vibe. Loved the synagogue visit.
