Casablanca Travel Guide

 19 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... 

 13 Reviews  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.... 

 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... 

 10 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... 

 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... 

 11 Reviews  On Saturday evening I had to go from the Airport to the City. As I did not want to wait for the next train, I took a taxi The fare to my hotel was 250 Dirham. I thought thats too expensive, I think some guidlines at the airport stated 200 Dirham. But the driver refused to drive for this money. He... 

 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... 

 2 Reviews  We visited the Medina in Casablanca. After being disappointed by watches and tshirts and moroccan crafts made in china, we continued further off and found the Real Medina and it was wonderful!! Standing in front of a tower which must be the "main entrance" turn and face the Hyatt Hotel (it's just... 

 1 Review  I think that every even smaller city in Morocco had at least one its own Royal Palace. They are usually located in the cleanest area of each city or rather opposite: the areas around every Royal Palace are well-kept and always clean. The same in Casablanca where the Royal Palace is located behind... 

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

 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. 

 3 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... 

 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...
