About Casablanca
Casablanca is Morocco's economic capital and the country's main long-haul gateway. It's less touristy than Marrakech or Fes, but the art-deco downtown, Corniche waterfront and monumental Hassan II Mosque make it a worthwhile stop — or an easy base before a train south.
Why visit Casablanca?
Casablanca is Morocco's modern face — art-deco architecture, seafront dining and a monumental oceanside mosque, a fast train from Marrakech and Rabat.
