Casablanca's port is central, a short taxi from the great Hassan II Mosque and the old medina. The city sprawls, so taxis or tours are the way to reach the main sights.
💡 Pro move: Casablanca is more working city than postcard — the Hassan II Mosque is the standout. A guided tour smooths the medina experience and the haggling, and Rabat makes a rewarding nearby day trip.

Casablanca's headline is its breathtaking mosque, but Morocco's capital Rabat and the buzz of the medina add depth. Here's what's worth your hours.
One of the world's largest mosques, with a 210 m minaret and parts built out over the Atlantic. Stunning craftsmanship — and one of the few Moroccan mosques non-Muslims can tour inside.
Find mosque tours →The walled old medina's markets and lanes, plus Casablanca's 1930s French Art Deco and Mauresque architecture around Mohammed V Square. Two faces of the city in one tour.
Find city tours →Morocco's elegant capital — the Hassan Tower, the Kasbah of the Udayas above the river, and the Mohammed V Mausoleum. About an hour away and refreshingly relaxed.
Find Rabat tours →The seafront Corniche of Ain Diab — cafés, the lighthouse, and Atlantic views — a relaxed contrast to the busy center, near the Hassan II Mosque.
Find local tours →Casablanca is spread out, but a few central areas reward walking. Each route links to a map.
The grand Mohammed V Square with its fountain and 1930s administrative palaces, threading into the Art Deco boulevards of the colonial-era new town.
