Private excursion to Casablanca from Marrakech: a day in the heart of Morocco's economic capital
Taking a private excursion to Casablanca from Marrakech is a unique opportunity to discover, in just one day, Morocco's most modern and cosmopolitan city.
Located 240 km north of the ochre city, Casablanca reveals a completely different face of the kingdom: skyscrapers, Art Deco facades, wide avenues, and the Atlantic Ocean stretching to the horizon.
This day excursion departing from Marrakech takes place in an air-conditioned private vehicle with a French-speaking driver, ensuring optimal comfort over the 240 km of road separating the two cities.
Visiting Hassan II Mosque from Marrakech: a masterpiece facing the Atlantic
First stop of the day: Hassan II Mosque, the world's 2nd largest mosque and Africa's largest prayer space.
Its 210-meter minaret, one of the world's tallest, overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and embodies a perfect blend of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship and modern architectural achievement.
It is one of the rare major mosques open to non-Muslims in Morocco, making it an essential stop on any Casablanca excursion from Marrakech.
Bab Marrakech Medina and United Nations Square
Next, head to the old medina of Bab Marrakech, the city's oldest quarter, where ramparts and narrow streets tell the story of the city before the French protectorate era.
Nearby, United Nations Square — Casablanca's historic and commercial crossroads — is home to the famous Hyatt Regency bar, the mythical setting of the film Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
Atlantic Corniche and Morocco Mall: contemporary Casablanca
The afternoon is dedicated to modern Casablanca: the Atlantic Corniche, developed along the ocean, and then Morocco Mall, Africa's 2nd largest shopping center, featuring an aquarium, ice rink, and amusement park — particularly popular on a family excursion to Casablanca.
