Casablanca: Private City Tour & Hassan II Mosque Ticket

Summary

Wander Casablanca’s medina, marvel at the mosque, feel city life blend old & new

You’ll walk beneath the soaring arches of Hassan II Mosque with your entry ticket included, wander Casablanca’s Old Medina with a local guide sharing stories as you go, and pause in lively squares where city life hums around you. Expect sensory surprises—and maybe a laugh or two—woven into every stop.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to be so taken by the sound of waves echoing through the marble halls of the Hassan II Mosque. Our guide, Samir, met us outside—he had that calm way of talking that makes you want to listen. He handed us our entry tickets (no line, which felt like magic) and led us in just as sunlight spilled across the tiles. The call to prayer drifted in from somewhere above; even if you’re not religious, it does something to you. I kept running my hand along the cool stone—so smooth it almost felt soft.

Afterwards we drove through wide boulevards lined with palm trees and stopped at Mohammed V Square. Pigeons everywhere—kids chasing them, old men feeding them bits of bread. It’s busy but not rushed; people really look at each other here. Samir pointed out some art deco buildings I probably would’ve missed (I’m terrible at spotting details), then we ducked into the Old Medina. The air changed—spices, leather, a hint of something sweet I couldn’t name. Vendors called out in French and Arabic; one woman laughed when I tried to say “shukran” with my accent.

We took a quick break at Rick’s Café—not for the movie thing (though yeah, it’s got that vibe), more just to sit and watch people come and go. There was this breeze off the Atlantic that made everything feel lighter for a minute. If you book this private tour of Casablanca from your hotel in town, you get all these little moments stitched together by someone who actually lives here. That matters more than I thought it would.
