Things to Do in Casablanca

Casablanca moves between cosmopolitan cool and deep Moroccan tradition — from rooftop jazz to ancient medinas, from fresh Atlantic seafood to day-tripping to the capital.

Landmark
Hassan II Mosque Tour

Step inside one of the world's largest mosques — the only one in Morocco open to non-Muslims — and marvel at its breathtaking carved marble and ocean-glass floor.

Architecture
Art Deco Walk

Stroll through Morocco's finest Art Deco streetscapes — a legacy of the French protectorate era still thrillingly intact around Maarif and the downtown.

Dining
Seafood at La Sqala

Dine among the ramparts of the old Portuguese fortress — fresh Atlantic catch, candlelight, and bougainvillea overhead in one of Casa's most romantic settings.

Experience
Coastal Sunset

Watch the Atlantic sun melt into the horizon from the Corniche promenade — a daily spectacle that turns the sky above Casablanca into a canvas.

Nightlife
Jazz Club Evening

Casablanca has a vibrant jazz and live-music scene — an evening in one of the Maarif district's jazz bars is a side of Morocco most tourists miss entirely.

Cinema
Rick's Café

Visit the faithful recreation of the legendary bar from Casablanca (1942) — still a wonderful spot for cocktails and live piano in a genuinely beautiful space.

Day Trip
Day Trip to Rabat

Morocco's elegant capital is just 45 minutes away — the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower, and Chellah ruins make for a perfect private day excursion.

Shopping
Morocco Mall

Africa's largest mall offers premium Moroccan crafts, international brands, and an extraordinary aquarium — a surprisingly genuine urban Casablanca experience.

Best Time to Visit

Casablanca is pleasant year-round thanks to its Atlantic climate. Spring (Apr–Jun) and autumn (Sep–Nov) are ideal — warm and dry. Summers are mild at 25°C, cooler than inland cities.

Getting Around

The city is best explored with a private driver. The ONCF Casabus tram covers key districts. Mohammed V International Airport is 30 minutes from the centre by train.

Where to Stay

We recommend the Corniche or Anfa area for sea views and proximity to Hassan II Mosque. The Maarif district is ideal for nightlife and restaurants.

What to Know

Casablanca is Morocco's most cosmopolitan city. French is widely spoken. Dress is more relaxed than in medina cities, though modest attire is appreciated near mosques and markets.

Common Questions
Is Casablanca worth visiting on a Morocco trip?
Absolutely. Casablanca is often skipped by tourists who see it only as a transit hub — a mistake. The Hassan II Mosque alone is worth a dedicated day, and the Art Deco architecture, vibrant restaurant scene, and Corniche sunsets make it one of Morocco's most rewarding cities.
How long does the Hassan II Mosque tour take?
A guided tour of the mosque interior takes roughly 60–90 minutes. We recommend arriving early morning when the light is best and crowds are thinner. Our guides provide full historical and architectural context in English.
Is Rick's Café from the film actually in Casablanca?
The 1942 film Casablanca was shot entirely in Hollywood — no scenes were filmed in Morocco. The Rick's Café that exists today is a faithful 2004 recreation, and it's a wonderful bar and restaurant in its own right with live piano most evenings.
Can I do a Rabat day trip from Casablanca?
Yes — Rabat is just 45 minutes by ONCF train or 90 minutes by private car. We can add a guided half-day or full-day Rabat excursion to any Casablanca itinerary, covering the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower, and the UNESCO-listed Chellah.

"We almost skipped Casablanca — so glad we didn't. The Hassan II Mosque is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever stood inside. Our guide's knowledge of the architecture made it even more special."

"The Art Deco walking tour was a revelation — I had no idea Morocco had this much stunning 1930s architecture. La Sqala for dinner afterwards was the perfect ending to a brilliant day in the city."

"The Rabat day trip they added to our tour was perfect. Casablanca as a base city worked beautifully — we had a great hotel near the Corniche and could reach everything in minutes with our private driver."
