Casablanca Historical Tour with Hotel Pickup – Step into the Myth and Reality of “Casablanca”

Casablanca is more than Morocco’s economic powerhouse; it is a city layered with history, Art Deco elegance, and cinematic legend. Immortalized by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the 1942 classic film Casablanca, the city continues to captivate travelers who want to walk the same streets where romance, intrigue, and wartime drama unfolded—at least on the silver screen.

Our Casablanca Historical Tour with complimentary hotel pickup invites you to experience the real Casablanca: a perfect blend of authentic Moroccan heritage and the enduring magic of one of Hollywood’s greatest stories.

Tour Highlights – Where History Meets Hollywood

1. Rick’s Café – Live the Iconic Film in Real Life

Step inside the legendary Rick’s Café, painstakingly recreated in 2004 by American diplomat Kathy Kriger to match the movie’s mythical gin joint. Enjoy the 1940s ambiance, live piano music, Art Deco interiors, and perhaps a cocktail at the same bar where “Rick” once poured drinks. (Photo stop & optional drink/coffee – entry included)

2. Hassan II Mosque (Exterior & Esplanade Visit)

Marvel at the world’s tallest minaret and the breathtaking mosque built over the Atlantic Ocean. Your guide will share insights into its architectural grandeur and symbolic importance (interior visit available as an add-on).

3. Mohammed V Square & Art Deco District

Discover the beating heart of 1930s Casablanca: elegant colonial buildings, the Wilaya (Prefecture), the Court of Justice, and the beautifully restored Central Post Office. This is the authentic “Casablanca” of French colonial architecture that inspired the film’s aesthetic.

4. The Old Medina of Casablanca

Wander through the lesser-visited but authentic 19th-century medina, with its narrow lanes, traditional bakeries, and local life far removed from the tourist trail.

5. La Corniche & Ain Diab Beachfront

Stroll along Casablanca’s glamorous seaside promenade lined with cafés, restaurants, and ocean views—the modern side of the city that locals love.

6. Habous Quarter (New Medina)

Explore this charming 1930s district built by the French, featuring picturesque arches, craft shops, the Royal Palace (exterior), and the famous Mahkama du Pacha courthouse with its exquisite zellige and cedar woodwork.

Bonus Photo Stops

  • The clock tower at United Nations Square
  • Sacred Heart Cathedral (Cathédrale Sacré-Cœur) – a stunning but deconsecrated Art Deco masterpiece
  • Twin Center & Morocco Mall (drive-by of modern Casablanca)
