Ain Diab is where people of Casablanca go in the summer and on weekends, Wither it is the beach or for night life or just walking around and killing time. People will come here for swimming, sunbathing, playing beach volleyball or beach football (soccer). The beaches are sandy and perfect.
It is only 7 km away from the city center and a red taxi should take you there for 20 DH. There are around 10 hotels, night clubs, and cafe. There are plenty of restaurants and fast food places like KFC and McDonald. There are private and public beaches. Some of the batches are very exclusive. Side Abdelrahman is 2 km away and it worth visiting.
Vinica Ice (see the photo) is a very nice café and it a popular place to sit and watch people. The ice-cream is particularly good and the view of the beaches is good.

Sidi Abdel Rahman is a stretch of beach next to Ain Diab and it includes a rocky island. So who was Sidi Abdel Rahman? He is considered by Moroccan to be the Patron saint of the mentally retarded and epileptics. He was nicknamed (Almajthoob) which means mentally retarded in Arabic.
Moroccans believe that this man has special healing powers for the mentally retarded so you might see families with children having all sorts of problems from Epilepsy to Down syndrome offering gifts and prayers in hope of healing their loved ones from their ailments. The room housing the tomb is very small and I was barely able to take a picture, which made People very upset. I had to show them these pictures and they asked me to delete some before they let me leave. It is interesting to know that Sidi Abdel Rahman has more than one grave and other places like Meknas claim to be his real burial site.
Sidi Abdel Rahman is very significant site because of the Archeological finding. A cave excavated in the area reveled one of the oldest sites of human or "humanoid" presence. Although they are not as old as lucy but a 500 thousand year "humanoid" skull is still pretty impressive. The caves also had human tools and remains of a bear which disappeared long time ago from the Africa. If you visit today, These Caves are located one km in land and are difficult to locate although I haven’t tried to contact any one for further help.
If you visit during the summer, you’ll see crowds of people swimming, sun bathing, sitting in cafes, playing football (soccer), and just walking around. There was a little fare ground with games and stuff for kids to do. There are plenty of restaurants nearby including a KFC, McDonald and other restaurants and Hotels. This area is full people up to mid night although I wouldn’t go to the island in the dark. The Island is a spooky place. you can walk to rocky island during low tide. the tomb of sidi Abdel Rahman and enjoy the beaches.without any problem.
Directions: Getting to Sidi Abdel Rahman from Casablanca is no problem, it is only 1 Km away from Ain Diab and you can walk to the area if you walk along the beach. A petite taxi ride to Ain Diab or Sidi Abdel Rahman should cost you less than 20. DH

The locals love walking there in the evening for some drinks and to breathe the air of the sea. From I955, the Saudi Foundation Ibn Seoud is sheer to the sea and accommodates a mosque, a centre of advanced studies and one most modern library. At the extremity of the Corniche, in the area of the seaside resort Ain Diab, there are the Institute of Talasso-Therapy of Casablanca and the Amusement Park of SINDBAD.
Marabutto of Sidi Ard er-Rahman - On a headland full of rocks, reachable only with the low tide, there are the white graves of people struck by witchcraft or by nervous diseases. Each year, a lot of pilgrims go there in order to have a bath or spend the night.
Anfa - At the back of the Corniche, in the residential area of Anfa, there are the most fabulous villas of the city. In one of those, on the hill, in 1943 there had been the conference of Casablanca, when Churchill and Roosvelt decided the landing of the Army in Normandie and Sicily.
Apparently the Nazis had been advised of a meeting at the " House Blanca ", but they thought it was the White House in Washington:) Leave a Comment

The coastal area south of Casablanca, is a resort zone named Corniche. Too rocky to my taste, we got there a bad weather and a rough sea. That left us a negative impression, in contrast with the heavy construction of playful facilities in the coast, suggesting a quality that... we didn't notice. Maybe in a second visit...
No chance to change my mind in our second visit. Maybe in the third! Leave a Comment

Another place perfect for people watching. The breeze is perfect maybe because it is winter time. So many locals spend their time here too, from school kids to teenagers and families..
