Booking tours in Casablanca: what to know

Most tours start from city-centre hotels or the port, and many include a hotel pick-up. Casablanca’s traffic can be heavy, so allow plenty of time between activities.

The Hassan II Mosque

Tours inside the mosque run at set times, which change with prayer times and the season. Read our guide to visiting the Hassan II Mosque.

Walks and food

Walking tours cover the Old Medina, the Habous quarter and the Art Deco centre. Food tours and cooking classes are a good way to meet local people and try dishes you might otherwise miss.

Rabat is an easy trip by train or with a guide, while El Jadida and Azemmour are best reached on a tour or with a driver. A Marrakech day trip is possible but long.

Tours FAQ

Can non-Muslims visit the Hassan II Mosque?

It is a good idea at busy times, especially when cruise ships are in port. Tickets can also be bought at the mosque, but tour times change, so check before you go.

Can I visit Marrakech in a day from Casablanca?
