Why visit Casablanca?
Casablanca, an exceptional destination
Morocco's economic capital and most populous city, Casablanca surprises with its blend of colonial Art Deco architecture, modern towers and historic sites. Its unrivalled landmark is the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest in the world: 25 years of work, 10,000 craftsmen, a record 210-metre minaret and a prayer hall built partly over the ocean, open to non-Muslim visitors — a rarity in Morocco. Immortalised by Michael Curtiz's film starring Humphrey Bogart, the city also boasts a thriving food and art scene. Casablanca has the country's main international airport (Mohammed V), making it a frequent starting or ending point for tours: our 7 to 10-day itineraries from Casablanca cover the imperial cities, Chefchaouen and the desert.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions about Casablanca
- Peut-on visiter l'intérieur de la mosquée Hassan II ?
- Oui — c'est l'une des très rares mosquées du Maroc ouvertes aux non-musulmans. La visite se fait uniquement en visite guidée, à horaires fixes (généralement en matinée et début d'après-midi, en dehors des heures de prière). Une tenue couvrant épaules et genoux est demandée.
- Casablanca est-elle un bon point de départ pour un circuit au Maroc ?
- Excellent : l'aéroport Mohammed V est le mieux desservi du pays depuis l'Europe. Nos circuits au départ de Casablanca (7 à 10 jours) enchaînent Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fès, le désert de Merzouga et Marrakech — une boucle complète des incontournables du Royaume, à partir de 830 € par personne.
- Combien de temps consacrer à Casablanca ?
- Une journée suffit pour la mosquée Hassan II, le quartier Art déco, la corniche et l'ancienne médina. La plupart de nos voyageurs visitent la ville le jour d'arrivée ou de départ, avant d'enchaîner vers Rabat, Marrakech ou le nord.
