What You’ll Experience
1. The Real Casablanca Medina (Old + “New” Hidden Corners)
Slip into the 19th-century medina before the crowds arrive. Wander narrow lanes where laundry flutters overhead, kids play football against ancient walls, and grandmothers gossip on doorsteps. Visit the tiny local produce market bursting with seasonal fruits, olives, and argan oil pressed on site.
2. Marché Central – Casablanca’s Beating Food Heart
The city’s legendary central market. Watch fishermen unload the morning catch, sniff mountains of spices, and taste freshly grilled sardines straight from the tiny stalls (optional quick bite included).
3. Habous Quarter – The “New Medina” That Feels Like the Old
Stroll under arched walkways past bookshops, traditional pharmacies, and olive wood artisans. This 1930s district was built to resemble a classic medina but with wider, cleaner streets—perfect for relaxed exploring.
4. Royal Palace Square & Mahkama du Pacha (exterior)
Quick photo stop at one of Casablanca’s most photogenic corners, with intricate zellige tilework that will make your camera happy.
5. The Great Pastry Pilgrimage (The Real Highlight!)
Moroccans are obsessed with pastries—and Casablanca has some of the country’s best. We’ll visit three legendary local pâtisseries (no touristy places):
- Fresh-from-the-oven cornes de gazelle, chebakia, and briouats still warm and sticky with honey
- A 70-year-old family bakery where the same recipe for almond kaab el ghzal has been used since 1952
- Coffee stop with irresistible msemen or baghrir dripping with butter and honey
Warning: You will not leave hungry.
6. Derb Ghallef – The People’s Market (Optional Add-On)
Want to see where locals actually shop? This massive open-air flea and electronics market is chaotic, colorful, and completely authentic (perfect for people-watching and street photography).
7. La Corniche & Local Hangouts
End with a relaxed walk or drive along the oceanfront where Casablancans jog, sip mint tea, and watch the sunset.
