Kashrut & dining
Coffee or tea and bottled water are included during the tour.
The Viator page also displays lunch within its compressed inclusions section, but it does not identify a restaurant, menu, kosher certificate, supervising rabbi or kashrut authority. Lunch should therefore be confirmed directly with the operator before being advertised as included.
No included food or refreshment should be described as kosher unless the operator provides current written confirmation of the preparation arrangements and supervision.
Travelers who observe kashrut should contact the operator before booking to ask whether a certified restaurant or packaged kosher meal can be arranged.
Food allergies, vegetarian requirements and other dietary needs should be communicated in advance. Any special arrangement remains subject to confirmation.
Religious life & Shabbat
This tour focuses specifically on Casablanca’s Jewish history, religious heritage and living community.
The program includes Temple Beth-El, Ettedgui Synagogue, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism and the historic Mellah. A visit to the Old Jewish Cemetery may also be included when timing and access permit.
Access to active synagogues and community sites depends on opening hours, security procedures, religious services, Jewish holidays and local approval. A listed visit may be changed or viewed from the exterior when entry is unavailable.
Visitors should wear respectful clothing when entering synagogues and the cemetery. Shoulders and knees should be covered, and male visitors may be asked to wear a head covering.
The tour does not confirm prayer services, a minyan, Shabbat arrangements, mikvah access or the presence of a resident rabbi. Travelers requiring these services should request confirmation before booking.
