Casablanca Travel Guide

 20 Reviews  The old part of Casablanca, within a set of city walls and known as the Medina, is surprisingly easy to miss. You could wander around the city centre for a few hours, then take a taxi out to the big mosque and the seaside, and not realise that the medina exists. It certainly doesn't compare to other... 

 14 Reviews  As you have no doubt read in my travelogue, hubby and I enjoyed our stroll along the beachfront in Casablanca. This is a popular spot for the local families as well. There are pools on the beachfront and an array of nice beachside cafes and you'll find Maccas there as well. 

 11 Reviews  I'm usually an old building fan, so in the Arab World, I generally get my kicks in the medinas where the oldest and most interesting quarters are found, and hardly visit the new modern parts of town. However, in Casablanca, the modern city is a major attraction for anyone with an interest in Art... 

 6 Reviews  Some distance south of the city centre, after blocks of drab apartments and offices, things suddenly perk up a little bit. A stone mosque with what looks like a village green out the front, narrow backstreets with low rise attractive houses, whitewashed archways, decorative fountains, a cluster of... 

 7 Reviews  The most impressive part of modern casablanca is probably the Place Mohammed V, a wide open space with fountains and pigeons and palm trees, surrounded by offiicial buildings from the colonial era on most sides. The main courthouse sits on one side, the Tribunal, and next to it, the building with... 

 3 Reviews  Just off the square, look out for two sparkling white towers and a spiky roof...this is the Cathedrale du Sacre Coeur, an odd yet beautiful Moroccan-colonial building. The first time I came to visit, the gates were locked and I could only admire the building from the outside (still worth seeing for... 

 2 Reviews  CASABLANCA BAR This bar is the place for those who try to find something in the city that reminds them of the movie (which was actually filmed in Tangier not Casablanca). This bar has a very cosy atmosphere with waiters dressed Humphrey-Bogart style and a pianist playing songs known from the movie.

 11 Reviews  I hopped in a Petite taxi for a short journey to the beach the fare was 29Mad, i handed over 100Mad. He would only give me little change back. Even though we argued he still wouldn't hand over my change. I think if your not local, Handing over smaller notes to these guys could save you that hassle. 

 4 Reviews  We arrived in Casablanca on a cruise ship. The port is huuuuge and divided into 3 terminals. Our guide explained us how the port worked and how it was divided, but I didn't take note of everything he said and all I can remember now, as I write, is that there is a terminal for cereals and another for... 

 6 Reviews  Mohammed V Airport is the largest airport in Morocco and very crowded and noisy, with signs only in Arabic and French. It's located about 30km south of Casablanca, so if your accommodation provided free transport to/from the airport, then its a good idea to use it! Getting to/from Casablanca:- Car... 

 4 Reviews  Prefecture Mechouar de Casablanca was located near Mosque Mohammed V. Well, "mechouar" means a fortified palace with a parade ground. The building with a very large Arabic gate looks impressive and is guarded by an armed soldier. You can make him a photo if he allows you - simply ask him... 

 6 Reviews  The old medina of Casablanca is not quite like the old medina in other Moroccan cities - it's much smaller, less stunning but - maybe - more authentic. You won't see many "tourist-oriented" shops, but real shops where normal people go to buy what they need... a butcher's, a bakery, a tea shop. None... 

 4 Reviews  Casablanca is a large and modern city, where, once, someone made a film that, for reasons that I couldn't understand in the 97 times I saw it, became very famous. If you are thinking in the film scenery, you may find a reconstructed bar, an area they say it was in the movie, and... that's it. If... 

 3 Reviews   I bought those blue glasses at the rear and the first tea-pot and paid - after baigaining :-) -190DHS. Not to be missed, even if only to get an idea of prices - a wise precaution before launching into the refined art of bargaining. 

 1 Review   Unlike other Cities better known in Morocco as *Imperial cities*, CASA is a well appreciated resort in summertime (No swimming this time of the year!) and an excellent spot for nightlife! The coast will be newly structured, and the long beach of *Ain Diab* will receive still more specialized...
