Casablanca
Casablanca, Morocco's largest city and economic capital, is a vibrant cosmopolitan metropolis that beautifully balances the country's rich heritage with the energy of a thriving modern city. While the rest of Morocco dazzles with ancient medinas and desert landscapes, Casablanca impresses with its stunning Art Deco architecture, stylish restaurants, contemporary art galleries, and buzzing cafe culture that reflects a city firmly looking forward while honoring its past.
The city's crowning glory is the awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world. Built on a promontory over the Atlantic Ocean, its 210-meter minaret — the tallest in the world — is visible from 60 kilometers at sea. The mosque can accommodate 105,000 worshippers and features a retractable roof, laser pointing toward Mecca, and stunning craftsmanship by 10,000 Moroccan artisans who worked for six years to complete it.
The Corniche, Casablanca's seaside boulevard, stretches along the Atlantic with luxury hotels, seafood restaurants, and beach clubs. The historic Habous quarter, built in the 1930s, blends Moroccan medina architecture with French colonial urban planning in a uniquely charming neighborhood full of excellent patisseries and artisan shops.
Take a guided tour of this architectural marvel built on the Atlantic Ocean. Marvel at the intricate zellige tilework, hand-carved cedar ceilings, and the sheer scale of this extraordinary monument to Moroccan craftsmanship and ambition.
Explore one of the world's finest collections of 1930s Art Deco architecture, where ornate white buildings along Boulevard Mohammed V showcase the exceptional fusion of European modernism and Moroccan decorative arts.
