Tour Plan of the Casablanca Day trip from Marrakech :

Your day trip to Casablanca from Marrakech will start as soon as we pick you up from your hotel / accommodation early in the morning. When traveling from one city of Marrakech to the economic capital of Morocco Casablanca, one is rewarded with aesthetic views of the natural tender of this North African country.

 The very first site that you will visit in Casablanca is the gigantic Hassan II Mosque. This magnificent piece of architecture is located at the coastal region of the Atlantic Ocean and has a gracious minaret piercing through the heights of the sky and thus becomes one of the tallest mosque constructions in the world. The detail work on the building and the quiet courtyards make for a truly moving experience, while your guide explains the meaning of the mosque to Morocco.

 Then you will go to the Royal Palace of Casablanca which is one of the biggest and striking samples of Moroccan architecture and king’s opulence. While visitors are not allowed in the inner palace; the outer face of the building and the compound is very much eye-catching with beautiful gardens and lawns. Your guide will provide you with interesting information regarding the role of the palace in the entire Morocco history and in the royal family history.

 Your Casablanca day trip from Marrakech will proceed to the Corniche Boulevard that is characterized by modern architecture, vibrant activity, and beautiful seascape. This is a good place for a nice walk; relax on the promenade taking some fresh sea air, perhaps have a cup of coffee at one of the rather cute cafes flanking the boulevard.

 The last attraction that you visit is the Casablanca Old Medina. Unlike Marrakech’s souks, the Old Medina is a rather laid-back affair in which one can better sample Moroccan souks. This place is rather historical in terms of the architectural appearance and clearly distinguishes Casablanca from the modern vision.
