Hassan II and Old Medina

The stops, in order

  1. 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.
  2. Place Mohammed V↳ 2.3 km from the previous stop (straight line)You are standing in Place Mohammed V, the true administrative and architectural heart of Casablanca. This plaza is famous for its impressive ensemble of Neo-Moorish and Art Deco buildings dating back to the 1920s, showcasing the blend of French influence and local traditions. Take a moment to admire the High Court and the Prefecture building, whose elegant facades surround the iconic central fountain.
  3. Old Medina↳ 1.1 km from the previous stop (straight line)Welcome to the Old Medina of Casablanca, a captivating journey into the city's authentic past before its industrial boom. Unlike the massive medinas of Fez or Marrakech, this one offers a smaller scale and a more serene atmosphere.
