Destination Profile
Just a mention of the name Casablanca is usually enough to conjure thoughts of a mysterious town filled with noir jazz bars and spies. And, sure enough, there remain traces of that old truth lingering between the dusty medina streets and French boulevards. But Humphrey Bogart has long since departed, and there's now a buzzing energy and drive to this port city on the Atlantic. A cocktail of Moorish façades, Art Deco high-rises, and grand arabesque architecture (like the stunning Hassan II Mosque) forms the backdrop, while all-new businesses, coffeeshops, and theaters hide within. Cheap flights to Casablanca from USA might go nonstop from large hubs like NYC, but it's more likely you'll score a bargain ticket on a connection that involves at least one stopover.
Behold the largest mosque in all of Africa at the Hassan II Mosque, which faces the rolling waves of the Atlantic with its tiled minaret.
The Casablanca Medina might not be as famous as Marrakesh, but it's still a heady mix of souks and stalls and food sellers.
Hit the Corniche to walk by the Atlantic Ocean, dodging sleek beach clubs and royal palms.
