The 10 Best Day Trips from Casablanca in 2025–2026 – Escape the City in Style

Casablanca is Morocco’s economic powerhouse, but the real magic of the country lies just beyond its skyline. Thanks to excellent highways and the high-speed Al Boraq train, some of Morocco’s most iconic destinations are now only 1–3 hours away — perfect for unforgettable private day trips.

At Amorocco Tour we organize daily private excursions from Casablanca (or Casablanca port/airport) with modern air-conditioned vehicles, English-speaking driver-guides, and door-to-door service. Here are our guests’ top choices for 2025–2026.

1. Rabat – Morocco’s Elegant Capital (Most Popular)

Distance: 90 km | Train: 55 min | Duration: 7–8 hours
Explore the peaceful Hassan Tower, the stunning Mohammed VI Museum of Modern Art, the blue-and-white Kasbah des Oudayas overlooking the Atlantic, and the royal palace exteriors. Far more relaxed than Casa, with beautiful gardens and cafés.

2. Marrakech by High-Speed Train

Train: 2h15 | Duration: 10–11 hours
Take the 7 a.m. Al Boraq train, arrive in vibrant Marrakech by 9:15, spend the day with a private local guide in the medina, Jemaa el-Fnaa, Bahia Palace, and souks, then return on the 7 p.m. train — back in Casablanca by 9:30 p.m. The smartest way to see the Red City in one day.

3. El Jadida & Azemmour – Portuguese Coastal Fortresses

Distance: 100 km | Duration: 7–8 hours
UNESCO-listed Mazagan Portuguese city in El Jadida with its impressive cistern, ramparts, and seaside promenade. Continue to artsy Azemmour with whitewashed streets and street art along the Oum Er-Rbia river. Great beaches and fresh seafood lunch.

Distance: 300 km | Duration: 12–13 hours
Early start (6 a.m.) for the medieval wonders of Fez medina (quick highlights tour), the monumental gates of Meknes, and the spectacular Roman ruins of Volubilis. We use the highway and comfortable 4×4 — perfect for cruise passengers with limited time.

5. Oualidia Lagoon – Oysters & Turquoise Waters

6. Essaouira – Bohemian Windy City on the Atlantic

Early departure to reach the white-and-blue port city made famous by Game of Thrones. Wander the ramparts, medina, and fishing harbor, watch kite-surfers, and enjoy the laid-back hippie vibe. Return via the scenic coastal road.

7. Azemmour + Sidi Bouzid Beach (Relaxed Half-Day)

Distance: 80 km | Duration: 5–6 hours
Perfect if you only have half a day. Street art in Azemmour, fresh fish lunch on the beach at Sidi Bouzid, and back in Casablanca by late afternoon.
