Morocco's cosmopolitan commercial capital — the extraordinary Hassan II Mosque, Art Deco architecture, Atlantic seafront, and some of the country's finest seafood.
Set within the 18th-century Portuguese fortress walls overlooking the Atlantic — the most atmospheric restaurant in Casablanca, serving excellent traditional Moroccan cuisine in a garden setting.
A recreation of the fictional café from the 1942 film — expertly run, serving excellent Moroccan and international food with live piano. More than just a tourist trap; genuinely good.
The world's third-largest mosque — built on a promontory over the Atlantic Ocean, with a retractable roof and a laser beam pointing toward Mecca visible 30km out to sea. Guided tours available.
🌟 Hodophs insider tipBook a guided tour in advance — non-Muslims can only enter on official tours. Go in the morning when the light through the ocean-facing windows is extraordinary. The marble floor over the sea is one of the most remarkable architectural moments in Africa.
