In Arabic “Dar al Baida” effectively means “the white house”, as sailors used to identify the city with a small house on the Anfa hill. The city developed from the 19th century thanks to its textile industry and the construction of a modern port at the beginning of the 20th century, making it the economic capital of Morocco. Optional entrance to the Hassan II Grand Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture of the modern era. Free time for lunch and continuation of the trip to Marrakech. Dinner and accommodation.
