From the mosque, walk past the beautiful Andalusian Gardens and the Kasbah's own Hammam, or water bath, before reaching a terrace with a beautiful view of the Bouregreg River.
Continue to the market, or souq, surrounding the Kasbah, where you will find an impressive array of Moroccan artwork, including carpets handwoven by Moroccan women.
