Your Casablanca walking tour begins at Hassan the II mosque, the largest mosque in Morocco and the third largest in the world. Admire the mosque's imposing minaret, which stands at 210 meters tall, then head to the famous Rick’s Cafe, a stylish reproduction of the bar from the iconic Casablanca movie. Next, follow your guide through the picturesque alleyways of the city to reach the Medina, where you can browse the stores alongside locals going about their daily shopping. From here, visit the nearby palace of Mahkama du Pacha, a grand Moorish-style building featuring mosaics, marble columns, and carved cedar ceilings. Make your way over to the Habous quarter, also known as the New Medina, and shop for authentic Moroccan goods and souvenirs such as clothing, leather, jewelry, and food. Make a stop at a local bakery next where locals take their homemade breads and pastries to be baked. Enjoy a tasting of some freshly baked bread, then visit one of the oldest pastry houses in Casablanca, tucked in a laneway off the Souq Habous. Sample some traditional Maghribi pastries before washing it down with a coffee or mint tea at a nearby cafe.

I had a fantastic tour with Mohammed Bennis and Rachid. Mr Bennis was very knowledgeable and I really had the impression he loves what he is doing. I learned a lot about city, country and culture. I enjoyed the company a lot and we had a very good exchange. As I already saw some parts of the city, I was shown even other places which are normally not included. Also they did not mind to spend more time to do so than foreseen. I really recommend anyone who wants to get the most out of the Casablanca experience, to go on a tour with them. Mr Bennis truly wants the participants to have the best experience possible.

Fabulous tour! I saw much more of Casablanca than I would have on my own. Bennis is a kind, charismatic guide. He has an affinity for Morocco and great knowledge about Casablanca. Rachid, the driver who accompanied up (yes, there was a part of the walking tour that we needed a ride to!), was equally kind and accommodating. If you get a chance to add on the Hassan II Mosque, say YES!!! Absolutely stunning.

This tour was absolutely incredible. Mohammed is so knowledgeable, punctual and accommodating. We strongly recommend this tour to see the highlights of Casablanca and enjoy the landmarks at a steady pace. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and especially loved the insight into Casablanca’s day to day. This tour is very much worth it!

Great experience! Had a wonderful time on the tour and saw some gems of Casablanca! My tour guide was very accommodating and kind and informative!

Mohamed answered all of our questions, took us to all the best places, and just generally went above and beyond. Everyone was so nice
