Discover your ancestral roots on a private Casablanca Jewish heritage tour created for families with Moroccan Jewish ancestry. Led by the founder of Typically Morocco Tours, a licensed guide with over 20 years of experience, the tour reflects his Master’s degree in Jewish Heritage and Tourism Management from ISITT, supported by the Mimouna Association.
Before your visit, your family surname is researched through the Museum of Moroccan Judaism archives and you receive a customized heritage dossier. Explore synagogues, the Mellah, ancestral neighborhoods, and the Casablanca Jewish Cemetery, where you may take part in the traditional stone-placing ceremony.
Typically Morocco Tours specializes in private, tailor-made experiences for travelers and families, especially from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Israel.
Pre-visit genealogy research, private guiding, transportation, and a customized itinerary are included. When the museum is closed, alternative heritage sites are included.

1Museum of Moroccan Judaism
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.

2
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.
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
3Temple Beth-El
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.

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.
