Best Attractions in Casablanca (2026)

Casablanca's sights are spread across a large modern city rather than packed into one historic core, so it pays to group them by area. The headline attraction is the Hassan II Mosque on the seafront, visited on guided tours that leave at set times; arrive a little early, dress modestly and check the Ramadan timetable if you are travelling then. In the centre, Mohammed V Square, the Sacré-Cœur, Parc de la Ligue Arabe and the Abderrahman Slaoui Museum sit within walking distance of one another, and the Central Market on Boulevard Mohammed V makes an easy lunch stop between them.

The Habous quarter, south-east of the centre, deserves at least half a day, with its arcaded souks, the small Dar Al Ala museum of Andalusian music and the Royal Palace walls nearby. Notre-Dame de Lourdes, with its huge stained-glass wall, is best seen on a sunny morning, while El Hank Lighthouse is a sunset stop on the coast road between the mosque and Ain Diab. Several of the city's sights, such as the squares, parks and the Habous, are free to visit, so budget instead for the mosque tour, museum tickets and petits taxis between areas. Mornings are a calm time for the mosque and the markets, and it is worth checking museum opening times before you set out.
