Details

What culture and history travellers ask us

Can non-Muslims visit mosques in Morocco?

Most mosques are closed to non-Muslims; the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is the well-known exception. Madrasas like Bou Inania and Ben Youssef are open to visitors.

Is Volubilis worth it?

Yes. It's the best-preserved Roman city in Morocco, with its arch, columns and mosaic floors still in place, and it pairs with Meknes in one day from Fes.

How much does a culture trip in Morocco cost?

We don't publish prices. The cost depends on your dates, how many of you there are, the vehicle and where you sleep, so we send a fixed written quote within 24 hours of your request. There is no deposit to ask for one.
