Things to do in Casablanca
Gray Line Casablanca

The largest city and chief port of Morocco, Casablanca might immediately conjure up images of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman’s tragic romance in the 1942 film of the same name. Outside of the Casablanca motion picture, however, the real city is an amalgamation of past events and cultural traditions that stretch back to its founding in the 12th century. Originally home to the Berbers, Casablanca was inhabited by the Portuguese in the 16th century and the French in the early 20th century. This mishmash of belief systems and peoples resulted in a settlement with a plethora of landmarks and attractions for the curious traveler. Make Gray Line Worldwide your partner in exploration and experience Casablanca for yourself today!

Gray Line Casablanca Insider Tips

Things to do in Casablanca
1. Stroll Along La Corniche Promenade

Also known as Ain Diab Corniche, La Corniche is a gorgeous beachfront promenade available to locals and visitors. With views of the Atlantic Ocean, this lively district runs from the old medina to the modern Morocco Mall. Dotted with several up-scale and casual dining establishments, La Corniche is known for its seafood and shopping, the latter of which includes major centers like the Anfaplace. Depending on when you visit, you might also be treated to a live street performance or cultural festival held on the promenade.

2. Take a Tour of the Hassan II Mosque

The Hassan II Mosque is one of the most iconic landmarks in Morocco and represents the rich cultural heritage of Islam in the region. Completed in 1993, it is the largest mosque in Africa and was commissioned by King Hassan II as a grand spiritual center. Designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, the mosque’s minaret rises to a height of 689 feet (210 meters), which makes it the tallest of its kind in the world. Over 12,000 skilled artisans from various backgrounds constructed the Hassan II Mosque by combining traditional styles with modern building techniques. Situated on a promontory overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this landmark is hard to miss (and one you shouldn’t). Unlike many other Moroccan mosques, the Hassan II Mosque typically allows non-Muslim visitors into its storied prayer hall, ablution room, and gardens.

3. Reserve a Seat at Rick’s Cafe

Here’s lookin’ at you, kid. As the setting of a cinematic treasure, Casablanca is unsurprisingly home to Rick’s Cafe, a restaurant and bar based on the fictional cafe from the movie. Created by Kathy Kriger, an American diplomat, in 2004, Rick’s Cafe sits within a traditional Moroccan mansion and boasts intricate decor with hand-painted tile work. While visiting, guests can enjoy listening to the live piano music just like Rick and Ilsa. Rick’s Cafe offers a diverse menu of Moroccan cuisine that includes seafood dishes, steak, foie gras, and various salads. More than just another place to eat, this establishment is a true homage to the groundbreaking 1942 movie.

4. Check Out Mohammed V Square

Mohammed V Square is a significant public gathering place located in the center of Casablanca. Named after Sultan Mohammed V who played a pivotal role in leading Morocco towards independence, the square is a visual representation of the region’s long history, cultural traditions, and modern administration. Established in 1916 during Morocco’s time as a French protectorate, Mohammed V Square hosts a blend of French colonial and traditional Moroccan architectural styles. The space also has a large fountain as its centerpiece, which makes it a great place to sit down, cool off, and soak up the ambiance of Casablanca.

5. Shop ‘Til You Drop in the Quartier Habous

Also known as the Habous Quarter, the Quartier Habous is a picturesque neighborhood in Casablanca. A beautiful blend of traditional Moroccan architecture and French urban planning, the area was primarily developed during the 1920s and 1930s. The homes themselves were intended for merchants and their families. Today, the Quartier Habous hosts several markets, bazaars, bakeries, restaurants, and cafes. The local art scene itself is a sight to behold with its many galleries showcasing contemporary Moroccan art.

6. Look Out Above the City From the Casablanca Cathedral

Officially known as the Church of the Sacred Heart, the Casablanca Cathedral is a notable architectural landmark constructed in 1930. At the time, the local Catholic community numbered around 400,000, most of whom were immigrants from Europe. After Morocco gained independence in 1956, the cathedral became disused and eventually was repurposed as a community center. With a monumental facade that mimics the tallness and shape of Islamic minarets, this beautiful building also features buttresses along the roof and a white concrete exterior. Although it is no longer a functioning church, visitors can still access the campus and towers for one-of-a-kind views of Casablanca.

7. Peruse the Artifacts of the Museum of Moroccan Judaism

The Museum of Moroccan Judaism is the only one of its kind in the modern Arab world. Dedicated to showcasing the intricate and rich cultural heritage of the Jewish community in Morocco, the museum’s mission since its opening in 1997 has been to promote awareness about the historical coexistence of Jews and Muslims in the nation. Located in a 1948-constructed villa, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism covers 700 square meters with a wide range of exhibitions that emphasize the daily life, practices, and rituals of the Jewish population. Two adjoining rooms display reconstructions of Moroccan synagogues, and several religious relics remain part of the large libraries run by the institution.

8. Purchase Something Both Old and New at the Morocco Mall

Modern Casablanca is renowned as home to the largest shopping mall in Africa, which measures an impressive 590,000 square meters in total area. Constructed by Design International, the Morocco Mall reflects elements of both the traditional local culture and contemporary retail stores. With over 600 brands that include luxury international fashion from the likes of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Dior, the museum also hosts El Souk, a space that mimics a bustling marketplace straight out of a history book. Out-of-town guests can purchase local products like argan oil, hijabs, and kaftans alongside Casablanca’s long-time residents.

9. Experience the Thrills of Parc Sindibad

Situated in Casablanca, Parc Sindibad is a beloved amusement park that offers a blend of family-friendly rides and attractions in front of a beautiful beach backdrop. The park was named after the legendary Sinbad, a mythological sailor that brings a whiff of both mystery and whimsy to the popular spot. With over 24 rides gracing the massive span of land that runs parallel to the Boulevard d l’Océan Atlantique, main attractions include Le Serpent (a roller coaster), Aerophare (a balloon ride), and a swinging Pirate Ship.

10. Discover the Amazing Vantage Point of the Phare d’El Hank

Phare d’El Hank is a prominent maritime landmark in Casablanca that stands tall along the Atlantic coastline. Both a critical navigational aid and beautiful tourist stopover, this lighthouse was designed by French architect Albert Laprade in 1920 with a design inspired by ancient minarets. If you want to visit the top, though, be ready to hike straight up 256 steps. The view from the apex of the Boulevard de la Cornice, Hassan II Mosque, and ocean, though, makes the climb well worth the effort.
