Looking for cheap flights to Casablanca from Canada? You’ve come to the right place!
Ever since the Hollywood hit film of the same name was screened back in 1942, Casablanca in North-West Morocco has enjoyed increasing popularity over the years and it’s not hard to see why. As the booming economical heartland of the country, Casablanca is a modern, vibrant city that welcomes thousands of tourists from across the world each year. Bursting at the seams with Moorish tradition and strong Islamic and Spanish influences, you’ll discover hundreds of beautiful craft markets, breath-taking architecture and warm hospitality. Not to mention its year round sunny climate of course!
Large, cosmopolitan and densely populated, Casablanca, or “Casa” as the locals call it, is also home to the most dominant religious monument in the Arab world after Mecca. Called the Hassan II Mosque, it’s an essential tour to have under your belt once you’re there. Memorable and deeply atmospheric, your expert guide will give you an in-depth understanding of its history and the stories it has to tell.
You’ll explore the ancient medina, still partially enclosed by ramparts, the very first district of Casablanca. The Art Deco quarter to the east is also fantastic for exploring, with its unique architecture a notable contrast to its neighbouring medina. And when you need a little refreshment, try the deliciously sweet mint tea which is extremely popular there.
When it comes to food you’ll be spoilt for choice. Moroccan cuisine is warm and spicy with many varieties of herbs and citrus fruits being staple additives. Tagine with cous-cous and other popular meaty dishes are the order of the day and of course there’s an abundance of fish available too. Sardines, anchovies, mackerel and prawns can all be bought fresh from the markets straight off the boat. Delicious!
