Top Things to Do in Casablanca with Serenity Morocco Tours

🕌 Hassan II Mosque: A Must-See Masterpiece

This is not just the most iconic site in Casablanca — it’s one of the largest and most stunning mosques in the world. Sitting partly over the ocean, the Hassan II Mosque features exquisite marble, zellige tilework, and a towering minaret that can be seen for miles. Guided visits are available for non-Muslim travelers — a rarity in Moroccan mosques — and provide a deep insight into Islamic art and culture.

🌊 The Casablanca Corniche

Stretching along the Atlantic coastline, the Corniche is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Here, you can enjoy beachside cafes, fine dining restaurants, and lounges with ocean views. Whether you’re relaxing with a mint tea or watching surfers ride the waves, the Corniche provides a refreshing escape from the bustle of the city center.

🏛️ Explore Art Deco in Downtown Casablanca

One of Casablanca’s most unique characteristics is its collection of 20th-century Art Deco architecture. Take a guided walking tour through the Place Mohammed V area to see grand façades, classic balconies, and time-worn movie theaters that reflect a glamorous past. Don’t miss the Villa des Arts, a museum showcasing Moroccan contemporary art.

🛍️ Shopping & Souk Experience

Casablanca offers a modern shopping scene alongside traditional markets. Browse designer brands at the Morocco Mall — one of Africa’s largest — or visit the Habous Quarter for handcrafted goods, spices, and a more traditional souk feel, minus the overwhelming crowds of larger cities like Marrakech.

🍽️ Dine Like a Local

Casablanca’s culinary scene is a fusion of flavors. Sample fresh Atlantic seafood, modern Moroccan fusion, or enjoy classic dishes like pastilla, couscous, and tagines at elegant rooftop restaurants. Many food tours also include visits to hidden gems loved by locals.

🎥 Visit Rick’s Café — A Tribute to the Iconic Film

Inspired by the classic film “Casablanca,” Rick’s Café is a must-visit for movie buffs and romantics alike. Though the film was shot entirely in Hollywood, this charming restaurant and piano bar recreates the spirit of the movie with elegant décor, live jazz, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
