Casablanca

Morocco’s largest metropolis, combining the oceanfront Hassan II Mosque, historic neighborhoods, modern boulevards and Atlantic nightlife.

About Casablanca

Casablanca

Casablanca is Morocco’s economic powerhouse and a very different experience from the country’s imperial medinas. The Hassan II Mosque dominates the seafront, while the Old Medina and Habous Quarter offer more traditional streets and markets. Along the Atlantic, Ain Diab brings cafés, restaurants and a long corniche. Casablanca is ideal for architecture, urban culture, coastal walks and short stopovers before continuing to Rabat, Marrakech or the coast.
