Things to Do in Casablanca

Morocco's business capital, Art Deco streets and the Hassan II Mosque

Atlantic Coast210 activities

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.

Top things to do in Casablanca

Hassan II Mosque

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.

Art Deco and Habous

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.

Corniche and Rabat day trip

Ain Diab's seafront is the evening promenade. The capital, Rabat, with its Kasbah of the Udayas, is an hour away by train.

Casablanca travel FAQ

Can non-Muslims enter the Hassan II Mosque?
Yes — it is one of the few in Morocco open to visitors, but only on a ticketed guided tour outside prayer times.
Is one day enough in Casablanca?
One full day covers the mosque, downtown Art Deco and the Corniche. Add a half-day if you want the Habous quarter and museums.
