Casablanca tours & travel guide

Morocco's economic capital and main international gateway, home to the vast Hassan II Mosque on the Atlantic and a remarkable Art Deco downtown.

Casablanca, Morocco — travel guide photo

More than a gateway

Most long-haul flights to Morocco land in Casablanca. Even with one day, it is worth seeing the Hassan II Mosque, completed in 1993 on a platform over the ocean, with a minaret about 210 m high. The downtown boulevards around Mohammed V Square hide some of the finest Art Deco and Mauresque buildings in Africa, and the Habous quarter is a pleasant, calmer souk.

Casablanca is also the start of our 7-day imperial cities tour and 6-day desert tour, and a private transfer to Marrakech takes less than three hours.
