Once a thriving centre of trade and tradition, this neighbourhood tells the story of a vibrant coexistence. Visit the Ibn Danan Synagogue, one of the oldest and most significant synagogues in North Africa. Recently restored, it offers a rare look into the religious and communal life of Moroccan Jews.

As you walk, your guide will share insights into the traditions, challenges, and resilience of Jewish life in Morocco—offering a deeper understanding of the city's diverse identity.
