Guided tour of the Hassan II Mosque

The Hassan II Mosque is Casablanca's must-see and one of the largest mosques in the world, with a 210 m minaret and a prayer hall partly set over the Atlantic. Crucially, it's one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors, only on a guided ticketed tour (outside prayer times). The guide details the exceptional craftsmanship — zellige, carved cedar, a retractable roof — and the story of its construction. Book ahead and dress modestly.

Habous quarter, Art Deco and the corniche

Beyond the mosque, Casablanca reveals itself on a guided walk or a panoramic bus tour. The Habous quarter (new medina) blends arcades, bookshops and pastry shops in a Hispano-Moorish style. Downtown holds one of Africa's finest Art Deco ensembles around Mohammed V Square. At dusk, the Aïn Diab corniche offers cafés, beaches and ocean sunsets. A half-day is enough to link these highlights, ideally with a guide who places the city in its 20th-century story.

Day trip to Rabat

Casablanca is also a handy base for day trips. The UNESCO-listed capital Rabat is just an hour away: a full-day trip combines the Kasbah of the Udayas and its Andalusian gardens, the Hassan Tower, the Mohammed V mausoleum and the Chellah necropolis. Many packages include transport and hotel pick-up, making it an easy outing for passing business travellers and families alike. It's a chance to see two faces of modern Morocco in one day.
