    This building is located in Al Hoboos quarter behind the Royal Palace. You’ll find few Arabic book stores near by. To go inside first you’ll have to go to Syndicate du tourism on Mohammad V Avenue and come with a guide.

    I asked the guards if they can allow me in and I was lucky that they did let me in. So why not try this before going to down town. One of them walked me around and within 15 minutes I was able to see all the rooms except for the royal office, I was able to sneak a peak into it from the windows. This used to be the Royal office for King Hassan II and King Mohammad VI for a very short period of time but now it is empty.

    Visiting the place is delightful experience. It had a nug Garden and several courtyards. The architecture is simply stunning. If you are visiting Al Hoboos Don’t miss this place.

    If you want to save time than visit this place and ask for a tour guide who will show you around Casablanca. The tour will cost you 450 DH for 3 people and it will last for 4 hrs. It includes transportation for 3 people plus the guide. The guide will take to Mosque Hassan II, the Old Medina, Alhoboos area and show around the old Royal office.

    This office is located on Mohamed V Avenue. The road is easily located in down town Casablanca. At the office you can arrange to meet with one of the official guide. To be honest I have not used this service but I looked into the matter and since J had enough time I thought that I can do it myself. It might be a good idea for someone who is staying for a very short time in Casablanca

    Casablanca is not a touristic city, nor the best place to see Moroccan art and architecture. But, if you're there, then one of the best visits should be Perfecture Mechouar, fortified palace with the traditional look of Moroccan architecture. Don't be impressed by the military appearance. The building must be still in official use but tourists are welcome.

    Get inside the City Hall. There you'll see a sample of Islam and Moresque architecture - the walls are decorated in this style.
    Very vividly I remember the inner court of the City Hall. You can see there four flowerbeds and one fountains, what is quite symbolic. Flowerbeds symbolize women, wives; the fountain - a Man, a Husband. It means that a Moslem can have four wives.

    Not far from the entrance to New Medina there is City Hall, the seat of the government. Earlier it used to be the seat of the court.
    An interesting building from the point of view of architecture.

    Built in 1918, this post office is fronted by arches and stone columns and decorated with bold mosaics. See more pic for the mosaics.
