Then we will see the Koutoubia Mosque with its 77-meter-high minaret. It is the largest mosque and the tallest structure in Marrakech. Together with the Great Jemaa el Fna Square and the Menara Gardens, Koutoubia is an emblem of Marrakech. Its 77-meter minaret can be seen from 25 kilometers away and, illuminated in the evenings, becomes the city's "spiritual lighthouse". Afterwards, the places we will see include the Majorelle Gardens, the souks, and the Jma El Fna city square and bazaars, called the Courtyard of Miracles. After our Marrakech visit, we return to Casablanca and begin our city tour with the Habous district, founded by the French in 1930, as a mixture of traditional Moroccan architecture and modern French architecture, with its neat streets, stalls set up on the roads, and beautiful houses. Then we see the Casablanca Cathedral (Sacre Coeur), built in Neo-Gothic style, Mohammed V Square and the United Nations Square, and we move on to our final stop, the Hassan II Mosque, the largest mosque in Morocco and the seventh largest in the world, bearing traces of Andalusian culture, which we view from the outside.
