About some tips at the airport in Casablanca tip: 1. Arrive at Casablan Mohammed V Airport at 2 pm and feel the Africa when you get off the plane. The hot temperature, the smooth exit after the plane, even the immigration card does not need to fill out. After getting the baggage, the first thing to change money, because the airport exchange rate is not very good, it is recommended that you put a little enough to take a taxi back to the hotel, there are many places in the city have change. 2. The plane has a place to directly handle the calling card. It is strongly recommended that you do a calling card. I used to rent mobile Wi-Fi online. It is really useless. I basically use my own traffic and pay the phone bill. 3. Take a taxi to the city center for around 300 dirhams and bargain with the driver. Always pay attention to the price before getting on the bus! ! They will never punch cards for tourists, and they have to ask a few people? Does it include luggage? A little tip of the accommodation: Melliber Appart Hotel 500 RMB/day/standard room / At the time of the time, it was fancy The location of this hotel is not too good! ! In fact, Casablan is mainly looking at the Hassan II Maritime Mosque. It is a five-minute walk to the mosque. It is very convenient to turn a corner! ! The apartment can also be cooked and it is clean. When leaving, the clerk also helped us to stop the taxi on the road, and also helped us bargain, haha, in short, the experience is good. For your reference. Hassan II Sea Mosque's tips: Evening mosque is really beautiful in the soft light of the setting sun! ! Even during the Golden Week, there are not many tourists. Tickets are bought two hundred meters from the mosque. Hassan is the most modern mosque in the world. The marble floor in the main hall is heated all the year round. The roof in the summer can be automatically opened for heat dissipation. There is a lift in the temple to reach the top of the Xuanli tower. It is luxurious. One third of the temple is built on the sea. The only temple in Morocco that is open to foreign tourists, you need to take off your shoes when you enter the temple, you need to buy tickets inside the tour, and sell at 10 o'clock in the morning. Visit time: winter Saturday to Thursday 09

The Movie Casablanca

#celebratewithtrip Rick's Cafe is located in 248 Boulevard Sour Jdid, 20250 Casablanca and is open daily from 1200-1500 and 1830-0030. It is around 1 kilometers 15 minutes walk from Casaport train station. We heard the name Rick's cafe from the movie Casablanca, now you can visit the beautiful recreation of the cafe and bring your Casablanca movie dream to life. The cafe opened in 2004, is housed in a traditional Moroccan grand mansion with a central courtyard, flanked with two palm trees in the front door. The restaurant has two levels, when you step inside, you will feel like you are going back to the 1940s. Food selection at Rick's cafe takes advantage of Morocco abundance in seafood. The menu offers a wide selection of fish and steaks. At night there is also live music, which makes the ambiance even more enjoyable.

Rick's Cafe, a Moroccan coffee shop, is now a red spot in Casablanca. People go to the cafes and want to see the social scene in the classic movie "North African Spy". In fact, this caf is newly built according to the way in the movie. Even so, it still does not affect the tourists. Cafe consumption is not low, you need to add 10% service fee, if you do not consume, you may not be allowed to take pictures.

Most of my understanding of Morocco comes from the old song "Casablanca", which is based on the episode of the old movie "North African Spy", which makes countless people follow the music when they ring: "I fell in love with You watching Casablanca......" Rick'Cafe restored the shooting scene of the "North African Spy" movie, so that countless fans come here to punch in, entering the restaurant is like entering the old time in the movie. Traveling in Morocco, this is a card destination that you can't miss.

Due to the charm of film and music, the city of Casablanca is more famous than its country and capital. "Casablanca" tells the story: Before the Second World War, Europeans fled to the United States, and Lisbon became the largest transit point. But not everyone can reach Lisbon directly, so a roundabout escape route emerged. From France across the Mediterranean to Algeria, then along the African coastline to the French Casablanca. People who arrived in Casablanca tried every means to obtain a departure visa to travel to Lisbon and leave Europe to travel to the free United States. A couple of fugitive couples want to get a departure visa and come to a bar to find someone to sell the visa. The owner of the bar is the woman's past lover. It is a story of the reunion of old love in the context of war. Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world

Four seasons hotel Casablanca

Address - four seasons hotel Casablanca Ambiance - very welcoming Highlights - beautiful hotel, great restaurants Avg. Price per Person - $100-150 USD Rating - 5/5 Stayed at the four seasons Casablanca for 7 nights and it was truly one of the most luxurious beautiful hotels I've visited. Check in was brief and quick, our suite was truly immaculate - comfortable lounge and dining area full floor to ceiling windows with great views and a beautiful terrace - large tv with chromecast allowing you to watch your own devices on the tv. lovely teas and coffee (nespresso) a really nice touch is the Moroccan mint tea and the guide on how to make it in your room. The bathroom was exquisite marble with again floor to ceiling windows - a huge bathtub overlooking the beach and ocean, tv in the mirror and a separate walk in shower. The bedroom was spacious and a large comfortable bed (can choose your type of pillows etc) for the perfect nights sleep. Automatic blackout curtains and a great view of the ocean and pool. Housekeeping was great especially the team in the morning who always made sure you had everything you needed even XL slippers (always find it hard at hotels to find slippers that fit my size 12 feet). Breakfast was superb led by the manager Mohammed Bouhou who honestly does so much for all guests and leads from the front.

Exploring Casablanca: Must-See Places

📍 Hassan II Mosque: Casablanca's main attraction and one of the world's remarkable mosques, boasting a 210-meter minaret. 📍 Habous Quarter: Also known as the New Medina, this district, built by the French in the 1930s, replicates a traditional Arab city. 📍 Mahkama du Pacha: A magnificent palace straight out of the tales of "One Thousand and One Nights," featuring sixty rooms, each more splendid than the last, adorned with masterpieces of local craftsmanship. 📍 Medina of Casablanca: This is where exotic enthusiasts visit, unafraid of the Arabic charm, and where those who have seen it all in the city go. 📍 Arab League Park: Casablanca's largest park, named after the Arab League, offers a serene escape amidst the city's bustling heart. 📍 Ain Diab Beach: Casablanca's equivalent of Copacabana—a hub for beach and sun activities, attracting families for a full day of fun.

Unlocking Morocco: Travel Tips and Adventures

Wondering how to get to Morocco without breaking the bank? I've got you covered! 😄 Here's how we did it: Direct flights from Moscow to Casablanca take only 6 hours. At the border, you'll need a PCR test taken within 72 hours. We got two tickets, Moscow-Casablanca-Marrakech-Casablanca-Moscow, for 120,000 rubles. I recommend spending one or two nights in Casablanca first to catch your breath after the long flight. Then, head to Marrakech. This way, your PCR test will still be valid in Marrakech, as it won't exceed 72 hours. Casablanca has many interesting places to visit, like the Hassan II Mosque, Mahkama Du Pasha Palace, and the old Medina, so you won't be bored. The best and most comfortable hotel in Casablanca is @fscasablanca, located by the ocean. We stayed there for three nights. Morocco is unlike any other African country, and I have dozens of photos and videos from this trip, so tell me, what aspect of this journey would you like to read about the most?
