A day trip from Marrakech to Casablanca is, above all, a chance to see the Hassan II Mosque: built right on the Atlantic, it is one of the few mosques in Morocco that non-Muslims can visit inside. Add the Corniche, the Habous quarter and Mohammed V Square in the city centre.

It’s a private day trip from Marrakech to Casablanca: the vehicle and driver are just for your group. It’s 2.5 to 3 hours each way on the motorway, so it’s a long day, but with no changes or waiting around.

Route

What you’ll see

  • The Hassan II Mosque, built beside the Atlantic
  • A visit inside the mosque (ticket required)
  • The Corniche, the seafront promenade
  • The Habous quarter and its souks
  • Mohammed V Square and the city-centre buildings

What the day looks like

Early pick-up in Marrakech and a motorway drive to Casablanca. First, the Hassan II Mosque: you see its minaret from far away, and inside you join one of the mosque’s own guided visits. Visiting times change with the day and the season, so we plan the route around them.

Then a walk along the Corniche, the Habous quarter with its traditional-style souks, and Mohammed V Square. Back to Marrakech in the afternoon.

Who is this day trip for?

For travellers based in Marrakech who don’t want to leave Morocco without seeing the Hassan II Mosque. If your trip starts or ends in Casablanca, you don’t need it: our tours from Casablanca include the mosque on day one, and the 7-day tour from Fes passes through Rabat and Casablanca on the way to Marrakech.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions

How long is the drive from Marrakech to Casablanca?

2.5 to 3 hours each way on the motorway. The whole day takes about 10 hours.

Can you go inside the Hassan II Mosque?

Yes. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors, on a guided visit with a ticket. If you have any questions about the ticket, just ask us on WhatsApp.

Can we add Rabat on the same day?

Rabat is another hour from Casablanca, which would make the day far too long. To see both cities, look at the 7-day tour from Fes or the day trip to Rabat from Casablanca.

Is the day trip private or shared?

Private. The vehicle, a 4x4 or a van with air conditioning, and the driver are just for your group: you don’t share the day with other travellers. Your driver speaks English, Spanish, French or Italian.
