Itinerary
Day 1
Half-day morning tour with hotel pick-up in Casablanca city centre. The order of stops follows the activity agenda.
Hassan II Mosque
Guided visit inside Hassan II Mosque with skip-the-line entry ticket included. Exterior photos of the mosque and the Corniche shoreline.
Tips from local experts:
- Dress respectfully: shoulders and knees should be covered for mosque entry.
- Bring a light scarf — required for some mosque areas and useful for photos on the Corniche.
- The mosque has steps and limited accessibility; the activity notes it is not wheelchair accessible.
Rick's Café (photo stop)
Short stop for photos outside and a quick look at the iconic façade of Rick’s Café (interior visits depend on opening hours and availability).
Tips from local experts:
- If you want to enter, check opening times on arrival — interior seating is limited and can be busy.
- Keep valuables close while taking photos; the area can be crowded during peak times.
- This stop is a short visit (photo / exterior); plan any longer café time at the end of the tour or separately.
Old Medina (photo & short walk)
Walk-through and photo stops in the Old Medina (historic quarter) to see streets, shops and traditional storefronts.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes — cobbled streets and narrow alleys are common in the Medina.
- Carry small change for quick purchases and be ready to negotiate if you decide to shop.
- Keep the walking segment short to maintain relaxed pacing suitable for couples.
Habous (Quartier des Habous)
Drive and short stroll through the Habous district to view traditional architecture, bookshops and artisan stalls.
Tips from local experts:
- Look for small artisan shops offering pottery and leather goods — ideal for a compact souvenir.
- There are shaded cafés in Habous if you wish to sit briefly and enjoy the atmosphere.
- Mind local opening hours: many small shops open mid-morning after inventory and preparation.
Notre-Dame de Lourdes (exterior)
Exterior visit and photo stop at the Notre-Dame de Lourdes church to see its façade and surrounding neighbourhood.
Tips from local experts:
- This is typically a short exterior stop—check quietly if the church interior is open to visitors.
- Respect silence and local worship when near the church premises.
- There are benches nearby for a brief rest and to enjoy the church frontage.
Arab League Park (Parc de la Ligue Arabe)
Short drive-through and brief walk in the park for cityscape photos, tree-lined paths and calm green space.
Tips from local experts:
- Pace the walk for comfortable photo opportunities and a short rest on park benches.
- Morning light in April is pleasant for photos of the gardens and municipal buildings.
- If you prefer shade, stay on tree-lined paths — open lawns receive strong sun later in the day.
Place Mohammed V (Square Mohamed V)
Quick stop to view the central square, municipal architecture and the surrounding administrative buildings.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow a few minutes for photos of the square’s fountains and architecture.
- Crowds are usually lighter earlier in the day — ideal for unobstructed photos.
- Keep an eye on personal items; central squares can attract pickpockets in crowded moments.
United Nations Square (Place des Nations Unies)
Drive-by and short visit to United Nations Square to observe street life, tram lines and nearby historic buildings.
Tips from local experts:
- This is a short urban stop—watch for tram tracks and street traffic when taking photos.
- Use the square to observe local cafés where you might return later for a relaxed drink.
- Tram stops are nearby if you plan to continue exploring independently after the tour.
Marché Central (Central Market)
Brief visit to Casablanca’s Marché Central to see fish stalls, produce and local life — suitable for photos and quick souvenir browsing.
Tips from local experts:
- Carry small cash for purchases; some stalls accept only cash.
- Watch for wet floors in the fish section and wear shoes with good grip.
- Keep exchanges brief to maintain tour timing; larger shopping can be done after drop-off.
