Cost per day · Morocco
Casablanca on $35, $90 or $280 a day
How much does Casablanca cost per day? Budget travellers get by on about $35 a day, mid-range trips run around $90, and luxury starts near $280 — accommodation, food, transport and activities included.
Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic capital — a cosmopolitan, largely modern city that bears little resemblance to the romantic image conjured by its name. The magnificent Hassan II Mosque, one of the world's largest and the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims, sits on a promontory over the Atlantic. Art deco architecture from the French Protectorate era lines the boulevards, and the dining scene has become increasingly sophisticated.
Casablanca is excellent value. Street food — msemen (flatbread), harira soup, and brochettes — costs pennies, local cafés serve mint tea and café au lait for almost nothing, and the old médina has cheap restaurants used only by locals. The main budget challenge is navigation — the city is sprawling and not pedestrian-friendly, so plan tramway routes in advance.

The Casablanca Tramway is cheap and efficient — get the 10-ride card. Eat at the Marché Central for excellent cheap seafood — the surrounding cafés serve fresh fish grilled to order. The old médina is small and far less overwhelming than Marrakech or Fez — easy to explore independently. Avoid tourist traps around the Corniche — walk 10 minutes inland for local café prices. The Hassan II Mosque guided tour is essential and costs only MAD 120 ($12).
Mid-range Casablanca offers a compelling city break — elegant Art Deco architecture, excellent Moroccan and French cuisine, a lively wine bar scene (Morocco produces excellent wine), and day trips to Rabat or the Roman ruins of Volubilis. The Corniche area has good beach access, and the city's café culture rewards slow afternoons.

The Quartier des Habous (New Médina) built by the French in 1930s is more elegant and less chaotic than the old médina — excellent for shopping. Rick's Café is a tourist construct (no connection to the film) but genuinely well-executed as a mid-range restaurant. The Hassan II Mosque guided tour is essential. Day trip to Rabat (1 hour by train) to see the Royal Palace and Chellah ruins is excellent value. Morocco's wine production in the Boulaouane region is a genuine revelation.
Luxury Casablanca surprises visitors with its quality. The Hyatt Regency and Sofitel Tour Blanche are both genuinely good hotels, the restaurant La Sqala offers fine dining in a 18th-century fortress, and private day trips by chauffeured car to Fez, Marrakech, or the blue city of Chefchaouen are feasible. A private tour of the Hassan II Mosque with a specialist guide is extraordinary.
