Visit Casablanca
Where ocean breeze meets minaret and modern pulse
Visit Casablanca- not just a port, but a plan.
Before it had towers and tramlines, it was Anfa- a Berber stronghold with a view worth defending. Salt air, open trade routes, and just enough chaos to keep the empire watching.
The Portuguese came in the 15th century, renamed it Casa Branca, and then left it in flames. The Moroccans rebuilt. The French returned with cement and symmetry, turning it into Morocco’s modern face- wide boulevards, colonial stamps, and Art Deco pride.
In 1943, Roosevelt and Churchill met here to plan the world’s future. Casablanca didn’t blink. It never does.
Today, it’s where mosques meet marinas, medinas meet malls — and nothing is ever just one thing. This isn’t a city that performs. It remembers.
So walk it with someone who speaks its language and knows which stories still live behind the glass.
Essential Tips for Visiting Casablanca
Best Season
Spring through Autumn. Avoid the summer blaze — Casablanca glows in spring and fall. The ocean breeze keeps it fresh, not freezing. Perfect for strolls and rooftop sunsets.
Local Advice
Speak like local. Don’t just point — greet with a smile and a “salam.” Moroccans love warmth and effort, not rush. Blend in, not out — that’s where the magic hides.
Must-Try Foods
Try fish tajine. Casablanca means coast — and coastal means catch-of-the-day. Try sea bream with lemon, olives, and saffron steam. It’s not just a meal — it’s rhythm on a plate.
Hidden Gems
Seek Roches Noires. Tucked beyond the buzz, this beach is all rhythm and foam. Less tourists, more locals, real Morocco. Come at golden hour — you’ll understand why we whispered it.
