About Casablanca
Morocco’s largest city and main international airport (CMN), Casablanca is the country’s economic engine — a city of 3.7 million where Art Deco façades from the French Protectorate share the skyline with the world’s 3rd-largest mosque. Most travelers use it as a 24-hour stopover before Marrakech or Fes, but a full day reveals genuine charms: the Hassan II Mosque, the Habous quarter, the elegant Mauresque downtown, and an evening on the Corniche with fresh seafood and ocean breeze.
Things to do in Casablanca
- Tour the Hassan II Mosque — the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims, with stunning interior tilework. Tickets MAD 140.
- Walk the Art Deco downtown — start at Place Mohammed V and Place des Nations Unies, then Rue Mohammed Smiha.
- Stroll the Habous quarter — a 1920s "new medina" with arcaded shops, olive sellers and the Mohammed V mosque.
- Sunset drinks on the Corniche at Ain Diab — Sky 28 or Rick’s Café for the Casablanca movie ambiance.
- Dine at Le Cabestan or La Sqala for seafood with a view.
- Visit Villa des Arts and the Moroccan Jewish Heritage Museum (the only Jewish museum in the Arab world).
- Take the new Casablanca tram between landmarks — cheap and efficient (MAD 6).
