Visit and calligraphy workshop at the Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation

Still in the heart of Casablanca's historic district, just a few meters from the hotel Le DOGE, the Abderrahman Slaoui Museum opens its doors to let you discover its universe around its art collections or unique pieces from the collection of Abderrahman Slaoui himself. During the calligraphy workshops that we propose in partnership with the foundation, you will have the opportunity to try your hand at a visual art form, which will introduce you to one of the Moroccan scripts (Mabsout, Tuluth or Moujawhar), with a Qualam (writing instrument) and Chinese ink. An unusual experience where you will perceive Moroccan art from another point of view.

Visit with the Maître de Maison at the Central Market

The central market is a historical market of Casablanca with colonial architecture that was built by Pierre Bousquet whose achievements were a complete success, he was the architect of the Pasteur Institute, the Casablanca Stock Exchange and the emblematic Lyautey High School. Apart from its mythical architecture, the market is famous for its fish and shellfish, especially sea urchins, sea knives and oysters coming straight from Oualidia city, as well as its local products from all Morocco such as argan oil, honey and typical Moroccan spices. One of the particularities of this market is that you can buy your fish among the stalls and have it prepared in the restaurants located within the market as you want them, a guaranteed culinary experience that will delight your taste buds!
