Corniche / Aïn Diab

Beachfront hotels, seafood restaurants and beach clubs.

Downtown (Centre-Ville)

Art-deco boulevards, the old medina and Hassan II Mosque nearby.

Gauthier / Racine

Modern residential district with boutique restaurants.

Anfa

Upscale residential area with quiet hotels and easy airport access.
