Highlights
As someone who was born and raised in Casablanca, I have always been fascinated by how my beloved hometown is divided into two parts and basically into two worlds. Once a humble finishing village, it’s remarkable how Casablanca has withstood the test of time and mushroomed into one of the largest cosmopolitan metropolis in Africa.
The first part of this walk is going to be dedicated to the French colonial town with its magnificent blend of Art Deco and Neo-Moorish architecture, it’s an open architectural museum where French legacy and influence can still be seen everywhere from buildings and churches to movie theaters.
During the second part, we will dive into old medina with its red rampart and unique Islamic and Moorish architecture. Once we get there, we will wander aimlessly through its maze of alleyways and witness how average Moroccans live their day-to-day, from souks and communal ovens to local coffee shops.
We’ll conclude this walk in the maritime promenade along the ocean.
