Itinerar : Obilazak marokanske židovske baštine iz Casablance

1. dan: Casablanca

Po dolasku u zračnu luku Casablanca Mohamed V, i nakon prolaska carine i imigracije, u zoni dolazaka dočekat će vas vaš vozač koji govori engleski. Nakon toga ćete biti prebačeni u svoj hotel.

Nakon toga, krenut ćete u obilazak marokanske gospodarske prijestolnice. Casablanca, glavna ulazna vrata u zemlju, užurbano je poslovno i industrijsko središte s modernim štihom za razliku od bilo kojeg drugog grada u Maroku. Vaš dan započinje posjetom džamiji Hassana II. Smještena na obali odmah iza sjevernog vrha medine (starog grada) Casablance, ova džamija dominira gradskim krajolikom i druga je najveća džamija na svijetu.

Zatim ćete istražiti središte grada. Na trgu Mohameda V, središnjem trgu Casablance, nalaze se mnoge važne službene zgrade, uključujući glavnu poštu, palaču pravde, prefekturu, francuski konzulat i glavnu banku Maroka. Četvrt između Place Mohamed V i Boulevard Mohamed V jedinstvena je mješavina arhitekture Art Deco i Art Nouveau s tradicionalnim marokanskim dizajnom.

Južno od Place Mohamed V nalazi se Parc de la Ligue Arabe (Park Lige arapskih država). Dizajniran 1918., ovaj park, zajedno s avenijom palmi, najveći je otvoreni prostor u Casablanci. U blizini se nalazi Villa des Arts, jedna od marokanskih primarnih kulturnih zaklada i jedan od najvećih muzeja u Casablanci.

Casablanca je dom najveće židovske zajednice u Maroku, s brojnim zajednicama, aktivnim komunalnim institucijama i visoko preporučenim košer restoranima. Posjetit ćete Mellah (židovsku četvrt) i njezine hramove i sinagoge, uključujući Beth-El, Em Habanim i Neve Shalom. Dodatno, posjetit ćete Muzej marokanskog judaizma, muzej posvećen židovskom životu u Casablanci osnovan 1997. godine.

2. dan: Casablanca - Rabat

Today, you'll depart from Casablanca and travel to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, situated along the shores of the Bouregreg River and the Atlantic Ocean. Rabat is a culturally rich city steeped in history, with many masterpieces adorning its streets and squares.

Vaša prva stanica bit će Kasbah des Oudayas, zadivljujuće arhitektonsko čudo okruženo prekrasnim vrtovima. U blizini se nalaze impozantne zidine Chellaha, nekropole koja datira iz razdoblja Merinida. Prelazak ovih zidova je kao da ste zakoračili u drugi svijet, gdje možete šetati među drevnim ruševinama, vrtovima i rodama.

Next, you will visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, an exquisite example of traditional Moroccan architecture. It houses the tombs of King Mohammed V and his two sons, the late King Hassan II and Prince Abdullah. Just across from the mausoleum stands the Hassan Tower, an iconic symbol of Rabat. Commissioned in 1196 by Sultan Yacoub el Mansour, the tower was intended to reach 60 meters, but construction halted at 40 meters after the sultan's death. Despite being unfinished, the tower is renowned worldwide.

You will then explore the Mellah, the Jewish Quarter, characterized by its narrow lanes and colorful courtyards. Today, it is home to a few Jewish families. Afterward, you'll continue to Salé, Rabat's twin city and a residential area on the other side of the Bouregreg River. Salé is the birthplace of Rabbi Hayyim Ben Moses Attar, the famed 18th-century scholar and kabbalist known for his biblical commentary.

3. dan: Rabat - Tangier

Today, you'll depart from the capital city and travel north to Tangier. An exciting day awaits as you explore this beautiful city, renowned for its lively medina, stunning beaches, and the unique convergence of the Mediterranean and Atlantic waters. Tangier is a multicultural gem with a rich heritage. As you stroll through its white-washed streets lined with lime-coated houses, you'll be enchanted by the city's dreamy atmosphere.

Begin your adventure in the medina, delving into the authentic soul of Tangier. Your visit starts at the Grand Socco, the city's bustling hub. This vast square is filled with cafés, street vendors, women from the Rif in their colorful attire and big hats, and numerous artisan shops—a vibrant mix of sights, sounds, and scents.

Pass through the large arcade to find yourself in the heart of the medina, where the alleys become more mysterious as you venture deeper into the souks.

4. dan: Tangier - Tetouan - Chefchaouen

Danas ćete se oprostiti od Tangiera i otputovati u zadivljujući grad Tetouan, od milja poznat kao Bijela ptica. Ovaj grad, sa svojom najvećom židovskom četvrti u regiji, nosi potresnu povijest. Nekad užurbano sa značajnom židovskom zajednicom iz srednjovjekovne Španjolske, bilo je dom nekih od najuglednijih sefardskih rabina poput Jacoba Marrachea, Menahema Attiasa i Itsshaqa Ben Oualida. Dok istražujete medinu, divite se izvrsnoj vanjštini Kraljevske palače i šetate Židovskom četvrti, osjetit ćete šaputanje prošlosti u svakom kutu.

Next, you'll venture to the magical blue city of Chefchaouen. Perched on a mountainside, Chefchaouen exudes a charm so unique it feels like stepping into a dream. The blue-rinsed houses create a surreal, azure landscape that captivates the heart. This enchanting city offers a myriad of attractions. Begin with the medina, where narrow, winding alleys invite you to lose yourself among the locals, sampling freshly baked bread and savoring the aromatic flavors of skillfully prepared tagines. The Kasbah, at the heart of the old quarter, with its lush gardens, provides a serene retreat from the world. The Museum of Chefchaouen, housing a fascinating collection of old weapons, city photographs, and textiles, is not to be missed. Chefchaouen, with its unique geographical position, breathtaking natural beauty, and intimate size, is a walker’s paradise.

5. dan: Chefchaouen - Tetouan - Volubilis - Meknes - Fes

Danas ćete krenuti na put i vratiti se u Fes. Prvo ćete proći kroz šarmantni gradić Ouazzane (izgovara se Wazzan), mali grad u sjevernom središnjem Maroku, smješten na jugozapadnom rubu „planina Rif“. Osnovan je kao vjerska zajednica 1727. godine, a do danas se smatra svetim mjestom. Štoviše, Ouazzane je poznat i po tome što je zeleni grad sa svojom prirodom koja oduzima dah i zidovima obojenim u zeleno.

Zatim ćete nastaviti svoje putovanje na jug kroz plodne zemlje prema planinama srednjeg Atlasa. Sljedeća stanica bit će starorimski grad Volubilis, smješten između carskih gradova Fesa i Meknesa na plodnoj ravnici okruženoj poljima pšenice. Volubilis je jedna od najbolje očuvanih rimskih ruševina u zemlji gdje će raznolikost krajolika, arhitekture i kulture sigurno impresionirati. Što više istražujete Volubilis to više dobivate osjećaj njegove veličine i cjelovitosti, lako je zamisliti kakav je život bio u doba procvata grada kada možete vidjeti opsežne ruševine kapitalne zgrade, termalne kupke, forum i obilje stupci.

Sljedeći je Meknes, marokanski Versailles koji je krajem 17. utemeljio Moulay Ismail, gdje o židovskoj prisutnosti svjedoče hebrejski epitafi koji datiraju iz kršćanskog doba, kao i grčki natpisi koji se još uvijek pojavljuju u lokalnim sinagogama i mjestu hodočašća gdje se nalazi grob F. rabina Davida Benmidana (zaštitnika Meknesa). Prepun stari Mellah, poznat po svojim povijesnim židovskim nazivima ulica ne smije se propustiti. Tu je i nova Mellah (židovska četvrt), u kojoj se nalazi jedanaest sinagoga, od kojih je osam još u upotrebi. Pored Bab el Mansoura, trg Hedim i džamija Moulay Ismaila. Nakon toga nastavljate do Fesa gdje ćete prespavati.

6. dan: obilazak Fesa s vodičem

Fes, ovaj carski grad iz 13. stoljeća, tapiserija je multikulturalne povijesti koja obećava da će svoje posjetitelje očarati neočekivanim iznenađenjima. Unutar srednjovjekovnih zidina predivno kaotične medine, krenut ćete na putovanje u prošlost. Prošetajte labirintom tisuća uličica, uronite u najveće urbano područje na svijetu bez automobila. Ovdje kule začina, tradicionalne rukotvorine i užurbani hamami mame da ih istražite.

Vaša će vas avantura odvesti u svjetski poznate štavionice u Fesu, gdje ćete otkriti stotine zemljanih jama ispunjenih živim bojama, stvarajući očaravajuću šarenu šaru. Također ćete istražiti lončarsku četvrt Fesa, dom najcjenjenije keramike u Maroku. Naučite o zamršenim procesima ovog drevnog zanata i možda pronađite jedinstveni komad koji ćete ponijeti kući kao uspomenu.

Nakon ručka, zaronit ćete u poznate gradske medrese ili islamske škole. Posjetite medresu Bou Inania, kultnu vjersku građevinu smještenu u srcu medine. Ovo zadivljujuće mjesto, jedno od rijetkih svetih mjesta u Fesu otvoreno za nemuslimane, svjedočanstvo je bogate arhitektonske i duhovne baštine grada.

Fes je također kamen temeljac u srednjovjekovnoj židovskoj povijesti. Bio je to dom jednog od najutjecajnijih učenjaka Talmuda svih vremena, rabina Isaaca Alfasija, i cijenjenog Maimonidesa od 1160. do 1165. Posjetit ćete Mellah, židovsku četvrt, sa svojim povijesnim sinagogama. Osim toga, imat ćete priliku posjetiti Bahil i groblje Safroud, gdje su pokopane cijenjene ličnosti kao što su rabin Lahou Harroch i rabin Raphael Moshe Elbaz.
