The Hassan II Mosque and its minaret in Casablanca

Morocco's Atlantic gateway

Casablanca

Home to the Hassan II Mosque and the country's main international airport, and the start of many journeys.

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and a common arrival point. Its showpiece is the Hassan II Mosque, set on the Atlantic shoreline, with a minaret that rises above the coast.

Several of our journeys begin or end here. A night or two lets you adjust, see the mosque and the Habous quarter, and set off for Rabat, Fez or Marrakech refreshed.

Best for

  • Arrivals and departures
  • Architecture lovers
  • Combining with Rabat and the imperial cities
