Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and its economic centre, home to the Hassan II Mosque and a lively modern side of the country. Like any big city, it rewards visitors who take sensible precautions.
This guide gives practical, common-sense tips. For the latest official advice, always check your own government's travel advisory before you go.
Most visitors have trouble-free stays. Casablanca is a large, busy city, so the usual issues are the ones you would find elsewhere: pickpocketing, over-eager touts and traffic. Staying alert is the best protection.
Keep phones, cameras and bags close in crowded places and on the corniche. Be polite but firm with unsolicited guides, and avoid carrying more cash than you need.
Licensed taxis are widely used, but it is wise to confirm the fare or insist on the meter. A private driver removes the guesswork, especially on your first day or when you arrive with luggage.
Dressing modestly and following local customs helps you blend in and avoids unwanted attention. Our etiquette and culture tips cover the basics.
Many travellers pass through Casablanca on arrival and then head on. For ideas, see our 7, 10 and 14 day Morocco itineraries or the Marrakech in 3 days plan.
