Where Is Casablanca?
The largest city in Morocco, Casablanca is located in the central-western part of the country bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
What Is Casablanca Known For?
As the beating heart and living soul of Morocco, Casablanca is a city that is truly on the move. Liberal and progressive, the legendary city resembles a Southern European locale with the chic influence from the early French occupation, creating a city that is modern, elegant, and beautiful. The whitewashed buildings and atmospheric streets of Casablanca incorporate a certain European flair that mixes effortlessly with the exotic mystique of the Middle East. Discover a city where souks and bazaars stand shoulder-to-shoulder with expansive commercial complexes, and where authentic eateries serve the most delicious dishes created from locally grown produce.
Popular Attractions in Casablanca
- Hasan II Mosque: Commissioned by royalty and fit for a god, the opulence and extravagance of this magnificent mosque rivals the Taj Mahal itself. 6,000 traditional Moroccan artisans took approximately six years to craft every single architectural detail of this sumptuously decorated mosque, including the towering minaret and mosaic-like interior, enhanced by sculpted plaster moldings, as well as hand-carved and hand-painted wooden ceilings. One of the largest mosques in the world, the Hassan II Mosque is also one of the most beautiful.
- The Old Medina: The oldest surviving part of the city, Casablanca’s Old Medina is not as ancient and atmospheric as several other Moroccan medinas. However, that does not mean that The Old Medina does not have its own unique brand of charms. Wander down winding streets and peek into tiny artisan storefronts selling exotic spices and handmade crafts. Engage in cheeky haggling banter with enthusiastic proprietors and try to take home a souvenir from your travels.
- Rick’s Café: Step into the world of old Hollywood when you walk through the doors of Rick’s Café — designed to recreate the bar made famous by the film named after the famed city itself, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Set in an old courtyard-style mansion built against the walls of The Old Medina, the restaurant is filled with architectural and decorative details reminiscent of the film. There is an authentic 1930s Pleyel piano inside, with “As Time Goes By” being a common request to the in-house pianist. Owned by The Usual Suspects company, this Casablanca landmark is usually described as the real Rick’s Café, finally bringing the legendary “Gin Joint” of cinema fame to life in today's Casablanca.

- El Jadida: Located 110 kilometers south of Casablanca along the Atlantic Coast, El Jadida was once referred to as the Portuguese City. With an ever-increasing growth spurt, many people are now heading to this town to enjoy its beach, as well as many other activities and rich historical culture that it has to offer.
