It is the largest mosque in Africa, and the 3rd largest mosque in the world.

Littered with private swimming pools with entertainment, seaside cafes, and oriental dance cabarets, this corniche is the ideal place for a jog by the sea to enjoy the sea breeze.

It covers a dedicated area totaling 190,000 m2 of leisure spaces, restaurants and brands.

In 2012, the Morocco Mall received the International Market Prize for Real Estate Professionals in Cannes in the category of best shopping center architecturally.

The largest shopping center in Africa until the inauguration of the Morocco Mall, it is made up of two towers, The West Tower (or tower A) and The East Tower (or tower B), considered the tallest office buildings from Morocco. It has become a landmark in Casablanca as well as a place from which you can enjoy the best possible panorama of the city. Tower A brings together a shopping center and the premises of several companies. Tower B is occupied by the Kenzi Tower, a prestigious 5-star hotel.

A former Catholic sanctuary in the city of Casablanca, it is surrounded by a vast public garden, the Parc de la Ligue Arabe.

The Habous district is a unique example of the reconstruction of a medina where, while respecting the traditional style and habits, French architects, including Henri Prost, complied with the rules of modern town planning. This district is now home to many Moroccan artisans, notably booksellers, as well as the Bennis patisserie, famous for its gazelle horns and other Moroccan pastry delights.

It is to the east of the Medina that this living memory can be observed, with, in the heart of the city, Place Mohamed V and all its public buildings. Neo-Moroccan style known as colonial, the Post Office (1920), the Courthouse (1925), Wilaya, Prefecture (1937) with its composition by Majorelle, the “Bank Al Maghrib”, to which is also added the old “ Lyautey Park” became “the Arab League Park” with its avenues of palm trees, its flowers and exuberant vegetation.

Stop 8

Dotted with eroded buildings whose construction predates French colonization, the old medina is the picturesque old quarter of the city. Stalls selling fruit, vegetables and spices line lanes lined with artisanal leather goods and understated antique stores.
