Morocco's business capital, Art Deco streets and the Hassan II Mosque
Casablanca is where most long-haul flights land and where modern Morocco is most visible: 1930s Mauresque architecture downtown, a seafront Corniche of cafés, and the Hassan II Mosque, one of the few mosques in the country open to non-Muslim visitors.
Built partly over the Atlantic with a 210-metre minaret, it holds 25,000 worshippers. Guided tours in several languages run daily outside prayer times and include the underground ablution hall.
The city centre around Boulevard Mohammed V is dense with Mauresque façades, while the 1930s Habous quarter is a planned 'new medina' of arcades, olive stalls and bookshops.
Ain Diab's seafront is the evening promenade. The capital, Rabat, with its Kasbah of the Udayas, is an hour away by train.
