Casablanca Tour:
Hassan II Mosque
The Hassan II mosque in Casablanca is a monumental landmark, representing the essence of the city. With its towering 210-meter minaret overlooking the Atlantic, it is the world's tallest mosque. Beyond its impressive size, the mosque showcases intricate architectural details crafted by skilled Moroccan artisans, including hand-carved wood and stone, marble floors, ceilings with gold leaf embellishments, and colorful ceramic tile walls. Built to honor King Hassan II's sixtieth birthday, the mosque is among the largest globally.
Rick’s Café Americain
Kathy Kriger, a former American diplomat, realized her dream of bringing to life in 2004 a replica of the legendary bar that appears in the film Casablanca. Modeled after the iconic gin-joint, Rick's Café offers an upscale and nostalgic experience with its elegant architecture and décor.
The grand piano bar features talented pianist Issam Chabaa, who entertains guests with music from the 1940s and 1950s, including French, Spanish, and Brazilian classics. The café also hosts jam sessions on Sunday nights, showcasing local and foreign artists, particularly in jazz.
In addition to the musical ambiance, Rick's Café delights patrons with an international menu highlighting Casablanca's fresh produce. Dishes such as goat cheese salad with figs and roasted salmon with tomato vinaigrette are among the three-course meal options, followed by the renowned Rick's cheesecake. Daily specials from the chef ensure a diverse culinary experience for guests.
Jewish Museum in Casablanca
The Moroccan Jewish Museum in Casablanca offers a unique exploration of the city's rich religious history. As the only museum of its kind in the Arab world, it highlights the diverse cultural heritage of Casablanca, home to a significant Moroccan Jewish population. Housed in a charming mansion in the Oasis residential district, the museum was once a Jewish orphanage. Its exhibits provide insight into 2,000 years of Jewish history in Morocco, focusing on the evolution of the Casablanca Jewish community. Visitors can admire paintings, traditional attire, ceremonial objects, and a vast collection of photographs depicting synagogues and Jewish quarters.
Pacha Palace
The Mahkama du Pacha palace, located in the Habous district and bordered by Boulevard Victor Hugo, is a remarkable architectural wonder. Currently serving as a courthouse, its interior is typically inaccessible without a guide, yet its exterior alone is worth admiring. Constructed in the mid-twentieth century, it reflects the elegance of old Arab-Andalusian design and was once the lavish home of a prominent Moroccan family. Adorned with traditional Moroccan artwork, including intricate wood carvings and beautiful plasterwork, the palace features two courtyards and 60 surrounding rooms, boasting ornate arches and lush greenery. Its beauty has drawn comparisons to the famed Alhambra in Granada.
Sacred Heart Cathedral
The Sacred Heart Cathedral, a church that stopped serving its Catholic religious function in 1956 upon Morocco's independence from France, has since been repurposed into a cultural center. While its external structure remains unaltered, visitors can now ascend its towers to enjoy breathtaking views of the city.
