Hassan II Mosque

This stately mosque, a fine example of pure Moroccan architecture, is the only one in the city that non-Muslims may visit.

Although the ticket is a bit expensive and you must follow the visit schedule tightly, it is worth visiting as the indoor design is beautiful and attractive and the guided tour provides useful information. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee, you can also take nice pictures in the square, which is also impressive.

Shrine of Rabbi Abraham Moul Niss

Reviewed By SolomonBinding - London, United Kingdom

I often come to Azemmour from my home in El Jadida for a wander around the Ancienne Medina and have passed by the shrine on numerous occasions but have never managed to find anyone to let me in. Last November, I was in luck. I was showing an American friend around the town and we met one of the young musicians who performs at the Prive restaurant in Jadida. He lives virtually next to the shrine and he said he could find someone to let us in. Fair enough, he spoke to a guy who had some keys and we entered the sanctuary. Unfortunately neither my acquaintance nor the key bearer knew much about the history of the saint or the shrine and the elderly Jewess who is sometimes present by arrangement was not in evidence that day. The shrine comprises of several rooms, some subterranean, containing artifacts and books in Hebrew. It is maintained by a charitable Jewish foundation which also owns the land above the cave and which the guardian confirmed will build a retreat and hostel for pilgrims there - we saw evidence of the starting of that work. Outside the shrine, there's a well-tended square with a view over the river. We certainly didn't get any hassle from children or vendors either around the building or anywhere in Azemmour at all. It's a sad visit nonetheless to think that vibrant, integrated and established Jewish communities were lured from Morocco by false promises leaving just a few of their community behind with their treasured edifices and traditions. This contribution to Moroccan life cannot be erased, fortunately. It's certainly worth a visit, especially if you can get in. My visitor friend tipped the guardian 20 dirhams. This might grease the hinges of the door for future visitors if they do the same.

A magnificent modern Catholic church with high walls, simple structure, and magnificent walls of vibrant stained-glass—not just windows—walls! It was built i1929-59 by two French architects. It was incredible!

Portuguese City

Reviewed By TomiV352 - Tel Aviv, Israel

Rampart walls of Portuguese fortress of Mazagan, today’s old city of El Jadida offers nice views of the city sites, like grand mosque, Portuguese cathedral of Assumption, views of the port, ocean views. One can make almost whole round of the city walls, accept of few parts. Corner towers are equipped with old bronze Portuguese canons. Entrance is from 2 places, in the beginning of the main street and from inside the city further up the main street. Gates are closed before sunset. First entrance is just behind the main gate to the city. Old city is very small, and you can easily spend here half day and move to north to Casablanca of south – Safi, Essaouira. There is a fantastic view of the old city with all its landmarks from the port pier, nice walk specially before sunset, very recommended.
