Things to do in Casablanca
Guides & tips for travelling in Morocco
Casablanca, the economic metropolis, is best seen in one well-planned day — between an architectural masterpiece, the seafront and art deco. Also ideal as a first stop before Marrakech or Fes.
The must-see
- Hassan II Mosque: one of the world's largest, on the ocean, a 210 m minaret. Guided visits available (the only mosque open to non-Muslims). Don't miss it.
City & seafront
- Ain Diab Corniche: restaurants, beaches, a seaside mood.
- Old medina & Place Mohammed V (Moorish/art-deco architecture).
- Habous quarter (new medina): crafts, pastries.
- Rick's Café (a nod to the film Casablanca), Morocco Mall.
How long?
- Half to one day: Hassan II + Corniche + Habous.
- Often a stopover: arrive at Mohammed V, overnight in Casa, then on to Marrakech/Fes.
Practical tips
- Hassan II Mosque: limited visiting hours (outside prayer times) — plan your slot.
- Sprawling city: a driver saves a lot of time between sights.
- Mohammed V airport: ~30 km — see our Casablanca airport transfer.
Casablanca as a starting point
A private driver meets you at Mohammed V, tours the must-sees, then takes you on to Marrakech, Rabat or Fes — at a fixed price confirmed in advance.
