The stops, in order
- Hassan II MosqueWelcome to the Hassan II Mosque, an absolute masterpiece of Islamic architecture and the third-largest mosque in the world. Built largely over the Atlantic Ocean, it symbolizes the profound connection between faith and the natural elements. Its majestic minaret, soaring to a height of 210 meters, is the tallest religious structure on the planet and can be seen for miles.
- Place des Nations UniesYou are standing in Place des Nations Unies, the central crossroads where Casablanca's past, present, and future converge. Formerly known as Place de France, this vibrant esplanade is dominated by its famous golden dome and its richly decorated Belle Époque clock tower. This is where the modern city began its expansion at the start of the 20th century, surrounded by Art Deco-style arcades that now house busy shops and cafes.
- Arab League ParkWelcome to the Arab League Park, Casablanca's largest and most beautiful green space. Serving as the city's essential green lung, this 30-hectare park has been magnificently renovated to offer an oasis of calm and freshness. As you stroll along its immense central promenade lined with majestic tall palm trees, you will find orderly gardens, modern play areas, and cooling ponds.
- Central MarketThis is Casablanca's Central Market, a must-visit for lovers of gastronomy and local traditions. Built during the protectorate era in an elegant Neo-Moorish style, this circular market is an explosion of colors and flavors. You will find stalls overflowing with fish and seafood caught just hours ago, pyramids of fragrant spices, and mountains of delicate Moroccan pastries.
- Aïn Diab CornicheWelcome to Aïn Diab, Casablanca's Corniche—the absolute destination for seaside life in the city. This 4-kilometer promenade stretching along the Atlantic Ocean offers a striking contrast to the city's administrative center. Lined with sandy beaches, prestigious beach clubs, trendy restaurants, and cinemas, the Corniche is where locals come to relax and have fun.
