Overview
Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and its economic centre—a metropolis, both historic and modern, shaped by scale, momentum, and contrast. Rapidly expanded during the early 20th century under the French Protectorate, it brings together wide boulevards, Art Deco architecture, historic quarters, and a constant Atlantic presence.
This private half-day exploration offers a considered introduction to the city through its defining spaces and daily rhythms. Moving between monumental religious architecture, civic squares, markets, and neighbourhoods shaped during the colonial period, the experience reveals Casablanca as it is lived today: outward-looking, modern, and distinctly Moroccan. Less ornamental than the imperial cities, it is best understood through movement, context, and the interplay between ambition, history, and everyday life.
