Atlantic Coast
Casablanca
Morocco's Modern Metropolis
Morocco's largest city and economic engine, Casablanca is a city of contrasts — gleaming skyscrapers alongside Art Deco masterpieces, a vast modern mosque rising from the Atlantic, and a medina that feels worlds away from the business district.
Top highlights
Hassan II Mosque
One of the world's largest mosques, built on a promontory over the Atlantic. Its 210-metre minaret is the tallest in the world. Non-Muslims can visit on guided tours.
Art Deco Architecture
Casablanca has one of the world's finest collections of Art Deco buildings from the French Protectorate era — the Quartier des Habous and city centre are perfect for architectural walks.
Old Medina
Smaller and less overwhelming than Fes or Marrakech, Casablanca's medina is a relaxed introduction to traditional Moroccan market life.
Corniche Promenade
A 5km oceanfront boulevard lined with cafés, restaurants, and beach clubs — perfect for an evening stroll along the Atlantic.
Rick's Café
A recreation of the fictional café from the 1942 film Casablanca — atmospheric, excellent food, and live piano music nightly.
Morocco Mall
One of Africa's largest shopping centres — a useful stop for international brands, a large aquarium, and air-conditioned respite.
Insider tips
Casablanca is best as a 1-day stop rather than a destination in itself.
The Hassan II Mosque guided tour (non-Muslims welcome) is unmissable.
Use the tram network to get around — it's cheap, clean, and efficient.
Book the 10-day tour from Casablanca to see the whole country.
