Overview

Discover your ancestral roots on a private Casablanca heritage tour designed for families with Moroccan Jewish ancestry. Led by a professional tour guide, this experience includes personalized genealogy research before your visit and a customized heritage dossier.

Before you arrive, your family surname is researched through the Museum of Moroccan Judaism archive, helping the tour begin with meaningful information already identified.

Visit historic synagogues, the Mellah, Jewish heritage sites, and the Casablanca Jewish Cemetery, where you may take part in the traditional stone-placing ceremony. Walk through ancestral neighborhoods and connect with Morocco’s Jewish history in a personal way.

The Museum of Moroccan Judaism is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. When unavailable, the itinerary will be adjusted.

Includes genealogy research, a private guide, transportation, heritage sites, and a customized experience.

Activity itinerary

Museum of Moroccan Judaism

1h 30m
Admission ticket included

Explore the only Jewish museum in the Arab world. With your expert guide, gain exclusive access to the genealogical archives, featuring centuries-old marriage contracts (ketubot), historical community photographs, and preserved family registers.

Rue El Mellah

Walk the historic streets where Casablanca's Jewish families built a life alongside their Muslim neighbors for generations. See the traditional overhanging balcony architecture and search for fading Hebrew inscriptions on doorways. If your ancestors' specific address is known, we will customize the route to pass by their former family home.

Temple Beth-El

45m
Admission ticket included

Step inside one of the most magnificent and beautifully maintained active synagogues in North Africa. Admire the striking stained-glass windows and stand inside the historic sanctuary where your family most likely gathered to pray, celebrate, and mark generations of milestones.

Synagogue

30m
Admission ticket included

Visit this intimate, historic neighborhood synagogue. Unlike the grand community temples, this is where everyday Jewish neighborhood life unfolded—from weekday minyans to tight-knit bar mitzvahs and community gatherings.

Casablanca Old Jewish Cemetery

A deeply moving and respectful visit to honor those who came before. With advance notice, we can help search for ancestral graves. Participate in the beautiful, traditional Jewish ritual of placing a small stone on a grave as an enduring act of shared memory.
