A representative plan. Every trip is adjusted to your dates, your pace and what you want to see.

The day
The mosque, the Art Deco streets and the corniche
You start at the Hassan II mosque, built out over the Atlantic on a platform above the waves. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors, and those guided visit times decide what happens in the rest of the day.
Afterwards you walk the Art Deco quarter behind the centre, the 1930s blocks around the town hall and the boulevards off Place des Nations Unies. Then the corniche along the water. A full day leaves time for lunch by the sea and a look at the old port medina, which is optional.
Good to know
Timing
The mosque runs on its own schedule and closes to visitors during prayer times, so the start time and the order of the stops can move.
Pace and driving
Short hops by car between three stops, with the walking in between. A half day covers the mosque and the Art Deco quarter, a full day adds the corniche.
Who it suits
Anyone with a free half or full day in Casablanca, and travellers who would rather see a working mosque and a modern city than another medina.

Agafay Desert
A dry, rocky desert close to Marrakech, with no dunes — bare hills, open horizons and camps laid out for dinner after dark. The short transfer is the point: one night either side of a city week.
Merzouga
The road south ends at Erg Chebbi, the tall dunes people picture when they picture the Sahara. You take a 4x4 for the last stretch to camp and get the hour before sunrise while the sand is still cold.
Erg Chigaga
Chigaga is the one you take for distance rather than scenery. The dunes run wide, the camps sit far apart and the track in is quiet. It needs a proper day of driving, so it belongs inside a longer route.
