Overview
Casablanca, Morocco's largest city and economic capital, is a vibrant and bustling metropolis situated on the Atlantic coast. While famous for the classic Hollywood film, the real Casablanca is a dynamic city that blends modern infrastructure and striking Art Deco architecture with traditional Moroccan elements. It serves as the country's primary commercial port and a significant hub for business and culture.
Casablanca is a frequent and important cruise port of call for itineraries exploring the Atlantic coasts of Europe and Africa, the Canary Islands, and repositioning cruises to/from the Mediterranean. Cruise ships typically dock directly at the Port of Casablanca, which is located close to the city center, though usually a shuttle or taxi is recommended for ease of access to major attractions. A visit to Casablanca offers cruise passengers a unique opportunity to experience a modern North African city, discover impressive architectural landmarks, and serves as a vital gateway to Morocco's rich history and vibrant culture, including the imperial cities of Rabat or Marrakech for those on longer excursions.
Marvel at the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world and an architectural masterpiece. Situated majestically on an outcrop overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, its intricate details, soaring minaret, and sheer scale are truly awe-inspiring.
Tip: Non-Muslims can enter with a guided tour (check tour times) if dressed modestly (shoulders and knees covered). It's a must-see landmark for its beauty and grandeur.
Enjoy a leisurely walk or drive along the Corniche, Casablanca's beachfront promenade in the Ain Diab district. This lively area is lined with cafes, restaurants, and beach clubs, offering views of the ocean and the Hassan II Mosque in the distance.
Tip: It’s a great spot for people-watching and enjoying the sea breeze, especially in the afternoon.
Discover the charming Habous Quarter, often referred to as the "New Medina." Built in the 1930s, it's a more organized and cleaner version of a traditional Moroccan souk, featuring labyrinthine alleys, artisan shops, spice vendors, and olive markets.
Tip: This is an excellent place to shop for traditional Moroccan goods like leather, spices, and clothing in a less overwhelming environment than older medinas.
Walk through downtown Casablanca to appreciate its unique Art Deco architecture. Many buildings from the French colonial period feature distinctive geometric patterns, curved lines, and ornate facades, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city's past.
Tip: Look for notable examples around Mohammed V Square and the adjacent boulevards for some of the best architectural examples.
Experience the heart of modern Casablanca at Mohammed V Square, a grand public square surrounded by impressive government buildings and public institutions, including the Palace of Justice and the Prefecture. It features fountains and gardens.
Tip: The square is particularly lively in the evenings, with locals gathering and the fountains illuminated.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Central Market (Marché Central). This bustling market offers an array of fresh produce, seafood, flowers, and local goods, providing a sensory overload and a taste of everyday Moroccan life.
Tip: Even if you're not buying, it's a great place for photography and experiencing the local hustle and bustle.
