About Casablanca

Morocco

Casablanca

Casablanca is a city submerged in mystery and noir, a onetime stomping ground of spies, while local guides can also reveal the earthy Berber edge to the town, between the minarets, medinas and mosque domes.

Rabat Heritage Day Trip from Casablanca

Begin early for a scenic 1-hour drive along the Atlantic Coast to Rabat. Upon arrival, visit Hassan Tower, a red sandstone mosque tower from the 12th century. Visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which contains the tombs of the Moroccan king Mohammed V and his two sons. This building is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture. After lunch, continue to the Bouregrag River, where you will stop to visit the Kasbah of the Udayas, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed kasbah (Islamic fortress) built during the reign of the Almohads. Wander through the maze-like streets of Rabat's Old Medina, filled with palaces, mosques, and bustling markets. View the ramparts of the Mechouar, a heavily guarded royal palace surrounded by gardens. Conclude your day trip with a leisurely drive back to Casablanca.
