Casablanca, Morocco Holidays

A holiday in Casablanca will take you to the famed destination of Bogart and Bergman’s WWII movie of the same name, where love and virtue played leading roles. In the real Casablanca, you’ll find all the romance of the films noir-style cinematography, combined with the exquisite virtue and friendliness of locals – it’ll be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

As Morocco’s biggest city and centre of its economy – due in part to having North Africa’s biggest port – Casablanca will provide travellers with a heady mix its architectural past and modern revitalisation. Check out a tour to Ancienne Medina and Casablanca’s Art Deco buildings respectively to grasp the city’s architectural co-mingling of tradition and style.

Things to do whilst on holiday

A visit to the largest city in Morocco wouldn’t be complete without discovering some key historic and religious sites, and with this in mind why not check out the Hassan II Mosque. This grand construction built to celebrate the 60^th birthday of the former King in 1993 has quickly become the crowning landmark of this vibrant city by the North Atlantic Ocean. The Mosque itself is quite phenomenal, but the land on which it sits – jutting out upon shallow rocks and enveloped by the oscillating tide – is truly captivating.

If you’re a lover of the Hollywood movie, Casablanca, then at Rick’s Café you’ll be standing in an establishment that claims to be a recreation of the café made famous by Bogart – you’ll find that a common request for the piano player is the classic, As Time Goes By.

Whether you want a little history – be it ancient or modern – or a soupcon of luxury relaxation, then a Casablanca holiday is your ticket to the perfect holiday.

Weather

The climate in Casablanca is very mild, owing to the fact it’s in Northern Africa and shares a Mediterranean climate and receives cooling currents from the Atlantic Ocean. Such currents are conducive to moderate weather and produce an atmosphere devoid of extremes in either direction of hot or cold.
