This is Casablanca's iconic landmark and one of the largest mosques in the world, featuring a soaring minaret overlooking the Atlantic. Built partially over the sea, its intricate marble floors, carved wood, and retractable roof are engineering and artistic marvels. Non-Muslims are welcome to take guided tours outside of prayer times to truly appreciate the sheer scale and craftsmanship of the structure; purchase tickets in advance if possible.
Unlike the sprawling, chaotic traditional medinas, the Quartier Habous was constructed by the French in the 1930s, offering a clean, organized blend of traditional Moorish and French colonial architecture. It’s the perfect place to shop for high-quality traditional Moroccan crafts like leather goods and spices without the intense haggling pressure found elsewhere. Look for the small, picturesque olive market tucked away within the arches for a great photo opportunity.
Casablanca’s lively seafront avenue, running through the Ain Diab neighborhood, is ideal for evening strolls and escaping the city heat. It’s lined with upscale restaurants, cafes, and private beach clubs (piscines), offering great views of the ocean and the city skyline. It truly comes alive after sunset, providing a glimpse into the city’s more modern leisure culture.
