 THE MAIN STREET OF LA NOUVELLE
MEDINA by matcrazy1
I found this district of Casablanca very interesting. It was built in 1923 and was a very modern part of city that time. It contains lovely buildings such as the Mahkama (Court House) built in 1952 in the hispano-mauresque style 1952, as well as a vast variety of handicraft shops. You can find streets with numerous arcades there. This is shopping area. Close to Habous I found a few out of the beaten paths :-).
One notice: the main (narrow) street was jammed when I drove there, finding a place for parking a car was not so easy which was a little unusual in Morocco.
Leave a Comment Directions: Approx. 4 km southeast of the city centre.

 QUARTIER DES HABOUS by matcrazy1
Casablanca has two medinas: the old one called just medina and the new one built at the beginning of the 20th century called La Nouvelle Medina or the Habbous district (Quartier des Habous). It was interesting to visit little shaded squares and walk along narrow streets lined with arcades lead from one souk to another.
I could see a lot of stores/shops and workshops there.
Leave a Comment Directions: La Nouvelle Medina (Quartier des Habous) is about 4 km (2.5 mi) southeast of the centre of Casablanca (get a taxi or drive own or hired car).

Al-Hoobos is part of the new Casablanca. This part was established by the French in 1920. Al-hoboos is located next to the royal palce. It easily accesable by a red taxi for 15 DH from Down town. Al-Hoboos has a train station which is called Mers Al sultan. There is no real advantage of using this train station unless you are coming directly from out side of CasaBlanca.
In Al-Hoboos you’ll find all the things a tourist is looking for. You’ll find rugs, silver and fossils. This area is more relaxed and less crowded than Bab Marrakesh but you still will need to bargin before you buy. Few meter pass Al-Hoboos there is a very big local market that you can by all kinds of bizarre stuff including this little Hedgehog shown in one of the pictures

At first sight you would say this can't be in a metropolis city, " Eh Houbouss" or "Al Ahbass" is known by Traditional Clothing stores and Berber Rugs, if you have heard about the Moroccan Djellaba so in El Houbouss you can find the good quality in seamstress and tissue, it's fine with prices, everything's controlled by some governors, the king likes that place so it must be a good place, clean and safe, otherwise you can find rugs in the left side just right the entering big door, there's a railroad underground, Rugs there are brand original, you can also visit the antique utensils stores, libraries where you can see a lot manuscripts.

Spend an afternoon shopping in Habous for great Moroccan everything!
Don't miss the giant olive area. You can smell it before you reach it. An olive lovers dream...literally dozens and dozens to choose from.
The prices are reasonable, but also open for negotiation.
There's also a nice coffee bar at the edge to relax and enjoy the view. Leave a Comment Directions: Any cab will take you directly there. Just ask for Habous.
