Casablanca the Medina and beyond guided tour

Dive into the daily life and habits of locals on this unique introductory tour of Casablanca!

The walking tour will start in front of the famous Rick’s Café, which you may have heard of in the famous movie "Casablanca". You won’t go inside, but you’ll want to note where it is for a return visit later on in your own time.

Next, you’ll spot the Sqala tower, with cannons dating back to the Portuguese era and a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Walk through alleyways to reach the medina, where you can browse alongside locals going about their day-to-day business, shopping for groceries, clothing, and everything else.

From here, you’ll make your way over to the Habous quarter, also known as the new medina, where you can shop for Moroccan goods such as traditional clothing, leather, jewelry, and food. The Medina was built in 1916 by the French.

You'll visit one of the oldest and most famous local bakeries in town, called Bennis Pastry House. Since 1938, locals have been taking their bread and pastries to be baked.

Indulge in a selection of traditional Moroccan sweets, like gazelle horns, which are sweets filled with an almond paste and orange water, or Fekkas, a famous Moroccan cookie baked twice and more.

You'll then be transferred back to the city centre, where your tour will end. Before you go, don't forget to ask your guide for more tips on what else there is to see, do and eat in Casablanca.
