Hassan II Mosque on the Atlantic in Casablanca
The economic capital

Casablanca

Art-deco boulevards, ocean spray, and the vast Hassan II Mosque.

Casablanca is modern Morocco, the country's largest city and business heart, with faded art-deco architecture and a seafront corniche. Its centerpiece is the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest in the world, built partly over the Atlantic. It is the main international gateway, and we use it well: a curated half-day before or after your flight, or a base for corporate programs.

Highlights
  • The Hassan II Mosque
  • Art-deco architecture
  • The seafront corniche
  • International airport gateway

  • Corporate and MICE base
