Enjoy an Exquisite Exploration: Casablanca Old Town Walking Tour
Step into the timeless allure of Casablanca’s Old Town, a captivating blend of history and culture awaiting your discovery. While not as ancient as its imperial counterparts, Fez or Marrakech, the Old Town (Medina) of Casablanca promises a journey brimming with intrigue and charm.
Immerse yourself in the historic heart of the city, spanning approximately 50 hectares and comprised of three distinct quarters: the Medina proper, the Jewish quarter (Mellah) featuring the venerable Ettedgui Synagogue, and the vibrant Tnaker neighborhood.
Traversing the perimeter of the Old Town, you’ll encounter a remarkably preserved wall stretching over 4 kilometers, punctuated by eight ornate gates. Among these, the renowned Bab Marrakech, or Medina Gate, beckons visitors with its timeless allure, while the adjacent Clock Tower in United Nations Square stands as a testament to the city’s enduring legacy.
Stroll along the labyrinthine alleyways, each whispering tales of bygone eras, and behold the ancient mausoleum enshrining the revered Sidi Allal el-Kairouani, guardian of sailors and fishermen, a testament to Casablanca’s rich spiritual heritage.
As you meander through the bustling bazaar, indulge your senses in an array of artisanal treasures, from exquisite leather goods to aromatic spices, echoing centuries of craftsmanship. Pause at charming outdoor cafes and quaint eateries, savoring the essence of Moroccan hospitality amidst panoramic harbor views.
Noteworthy among the landmarks is La Sqala café, nestled near the site of the historic Casa Branca fortress, a testament to the city’s enduring maritime legacy. And for aficionados of cinematic history, a pilgrimage to Rick’s Café Casablanca awaits, a faithful homage to the iconic film set immortalized in the classic “Casablanca.”
