Come Hungry !

Casablanca is renowned for its exceptional food and there's no better place to sample the local flavours than at one of the city's many restaurants. Try traditional dishes like tagine, couscous and pastilla, and savour the aromatic spices and rich textures. One of the popular eateries we recommend is Rick’s café; which is based on the fictional location in the classic Humphrey Bogart movie Casablanca.

Blast From The Past

Drive 63 Miles south of Casablanca to reach the sea-facing, UNESCO-listed 16th century fortress of El Jadida's Citadel. As you scramble through the ruins, you will be rewarded with some breathtaking views of the sea. Wander through the lanes that transport you to the well-preserved sections of the fort. Don't miss the atmospheric cistern, which is located in the centre and was used as a filming location in the famous Orson Welles' movie Othello.
