What to know before visiting Casablanca

Casablanca, Morocco’s modern and vibrant coastal city, is often the starting point for travelers dreaming of a magical journey into the Moroccan Sahara. As the country’s main international hub, Casablanca offers easy access to iconic destinations like Marrakech, Fes, and Merzouga — home of the golden Erg Chebbi dunes.

Before heading south to the desert, visitors can explore the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s lively Corniche district, modern cafés, and old medina offer a perfect blend of tradition and cosmopolitan charm.

From Casablanca, many of our Camel Trekking in Merzouga tours begin, taking you on a scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains, passing by Berber villages, gorges, and oases before reaching the Sahara Desert. Whether you choose a 4-day express trip or a 10-day grand tour, Casablanca is the ideal starting point to experience Morocco’s most breathtaking landscapes.
