🕌 Marrakech to Casablanca Day Trip: What to See in Just One Day
If you’re visiting Marrakech and want to explore another side of Morocco, a day trip to Casablanca is a perfect choice. Just a 2.5–3 hour drive away, Casablanca offers a mix of modern elegance, coastal charm, and rich cultural heritage. With the convenience of a private tour, you can make the most of your day without the stress of planning or navigating.
🚗 Comfortable Travel, Scenic Route
The journey begins with a morning pickup from your riad or hotel in Marrakech. Your private driver will take you on a smooth and scenic ride through the Moroccan countryside. Along the way, enjoy changing landscapes — from palm groves to Atlantic coastlines.
🕌 Highlights of Casablanca You’ll Visit
1. Hassan II Mosque
One of the largest and most impressive mosques in the world, Hassan II Mosque sits majestically over the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll be able to admire its towering minaret, intricate zellige tilework, and dramatic seaside views. It’s also one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims via guided tours.
2. La Corniche
After visiting the mosque, take a relaxing walk along La Corniche, Casablanca’s beachfront promenade. With cafés, ocean views, and palm-lined walkways, it’s a great place to unwind or grab lunch with a sea breeze.
3. The Habous Quarter (New Medina)
Unlike the traditional medinas of Marrakech and Fes, Casablanca’s Habous district is a colonial-era mix of French architecture and Moroccan souks. It’s quieter, more organized, and perfect for buying authentic Moroccan goods like spices, pottery, or traditional clothing.
4. Royal Palace (Outside View)
Although you can’t enter the Royal Palace, its exterior and beautifully landscaped square offer great photo opportunities and a chance to learn about Morocco’s modern monarchy.
5. Mohammed V Square
This bustling plaza surrounded by government buildings showcases French-influenced architecture and Casablanca’s more cosmopolitan side. It’s a nice contrast to the old city streets of Marrakech.
🍽️ Lunch Stop Recommendation
For lunch, your guide may recommend one of Casablanca’s top spots, such as:
- Rick’s Café – Inspired by the movie Casablanca, it blends romantic ambiance with Moroccan-European cuisine.
- A seafood restaurant along La Corniche with views of the Atlantic.
⏰ Flexible Timing, Smooth Return
After a full day of exploration, you’ll be driven comfortably back to Marrakech in the late afternoon or early evening — just in time to relax at your riad or enjoy a night out in the medina.
