Book hostels in Casablanca

Morocco's modern metropolis. Art-deco architecture and the Hassan II Mosque.

Casablanca isn't the Morocco most backpackers picture — it's bigger, modern, business-first. But the Hassan II Mosque alone is worth a stop, the art-deco Habous quarter is beautiful, and the oceanfront Ain Diab has a fun, slightly posh nightlife. One or two nights between flights is usually ideal.

Highlights

  • Hassan II Mosque (guided tours in English/French)
  • Corniche of Ain Diab
  • Art-deco downtown walk
  • Habous neighbourhood
  • Morocco Mall for a rainy day

Best for

  • Flight stopovers (Casablanca is the main airport)
  • Modern-Morocco travellers
  • Architecture fans
  • Business + tourism hybrid trips
