Casablanca Medina, Highlights & Hidden Gems Small-Group Tour

Discover Casablanca on a guided tour that blends top landmarks with hidden local gems. Traveling with a knowledgeable guide takes the hassle out of navigating the city’s busy streets, while giving you insider access to cultural highlights that many visitors miss. Your journey begins outside Rick’s Cafe, a spot made famous by the classic 1942 movie "Casablanca". Pause for photos and hear its Hollywood backstory before continuing to the nearby Sqala tower (La Sqala), a surviving piece of the city’s Portuguese-era fortress. From there, stroll through the lively medina, where locals shop for everything from spices to clothing. Next, hop into a taxi to explore Casablanca’s striking architecture. Visit the Sacred Heart Cathedral, take a walk through Arab League Park, and admire the grand Mohammed V Plaza. Continue on to the Habous Quarter, also known as the “new medina,” to browse traditional handicrafts and see the fascinating blend of French and Moroccan design that makes this neighborhood unique. No trip to Casablanca would be complete without indulging in its culinary traditions. Visit the historic Bennis Pastry House—serving locals since 1938—and treat yourself to Moroccan sweets like gazelle horns and fekkas (at your own expense). Then, relax with your treats and a cup of Moroccan tea or coffee at a neighborhood cafe, the perfect chance to experience daily life in the city. Finish your tour at the Al Aank Observation Deck, an oceanfront promenade offering panoramic views of the Atlantic coast and the Hassan II Mosque. It’s the ideal spot to capture memorable photos and end your Casablanca adventure on a high note before returning to the city center.
