Your Casablanca walking tour will start with a view of the largest mosque in Morocco (and the third largest mosque in the world!), Hassan the II. From here, we’ll wander over to the famous Rick’s Café, which you may have heard of from a little movie called Casablanca. We won’t go inside, but you’ll want to note where it is for a return visit later on in your own time, we’re sure!

Nearby, you’ll spot the Sqala tower, with canons dating back to the Portuguese era and a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Walk through alleyways to reach the medina, where you can browse alongside locals going about their day-to-day business, shopping for groceries, clothing and anything and everything else.

From here, we’ll make our way over to the Habous quarter, also known as the new medina, where you can shop for Moroccan goods such as traditional clothing, leather, jewellery and food. The medina was built in the 1916s by the French, so it is no surprise that it features a wonderful mix of French and Moroccan-inspired architecture, complete with numerous things to see and do and taste… like maybe some freshly baked bread.

We’ll visit one of the oldest & most famous local bakeries in town called Bennis Pastry House, since 1938 locals have been taking their breads and pastries to be baked (#localsknow tip: all the treats at Bennis are delicious, but we recommend the chicken pastilla, which is heavenly good!) Treat yourself to a selection of traditional Moroccan pastries. Such as gazelle horns, which are pastries filled with a paste of almond and orange water or Fekkas which is a famous twice-baked Moroccan cookie & more. 

We’ll then head to a nearby local coffee shop to order coffee or Moroccan tea and scoff your bounty. We’ll then take a transfer back to Square of Mohammed V, Casablanca where your tour will end. Before you go, don’t forget to ask your guide for more tips on what else there is to see, do and eat in Casablanca.
