Itinerary

Though lacking the medieval magic that characterises many Moroccan medinas, Casablanca’s compact 19th-century example is still worth a wander. You're unlikely to find treasures in its everyday shops (hardware stores, pharmacies and shops selling cheap clothing and shoes predominate), but its whitewashed crooked lanes, occasional tree-shaded square and buzzy local cafes make it a popular route for those walking between downtown Casablanca and the Hassan II Mosque. The most heavily used entrances are through Bab Marrakech on Ave Tahar El Alaoui or through the gate next to the rebuilt clock tower at the northeast corner of Place des Nations Unies. The narrow lanes near these gates are where most shops are found; the rest of the medina remains largely residential. On the north side of the medina, facing the port, you’ll see the last remains of Casablanca’s 18th-century fortifications. Known as the sqala, the bastion offers panoramic views over the sea.

La Corniche is Casablanca's beach neighborhood, stretching for a few miles along the ocean, just west of the Hassan II Mosque. Its heart is Corniche Boulevard, looking very Mediterranean with stately palm trees and the beach on one side and a line of shops, cafes, bars, amusement centers and fast food restaurants on the other. Fancier hotels are located further along the coast, on the Boulevard de l'Ocean Atlantique. La Corniche is a nice area to stroll along and watch the ocean pounding the sand, have a jog or sit in one of the many outside cafes and watch the world pass by.

Morocco is a marketplace with historical and cultural significance. It is located on Muhammad V Boulevard, among the colonial architecture of the 20th century, facing the Central Market Tramway Station. a broad selection of stalls, Primarily a fish market but without that strong fishy smell. Strong competition from small eateries on perimeter of market to get you to select your fish of choice which they then prepare & serve to you alongside salad, bread, etc. There's also stalls of fresh fruit & veg and flower stalls. A genuine, for better , Casablanca experience.

The best entry point is the Marrakech gate, with its imposing clock tower. There are no reliable maps but, with a little twisting and turning, you may find your way to the old Portuguese fortress that backs onto the old city. Marked by great iron cannons pointing out to sea, the bastion is known as La Sqala. It's a restaurant now, offering exceptional cuisine from all corners of Morocco. Famous for its salads and fish tagines, La Sqala is the exception to the rule that says Moroccan food is best eaten in the home.
