What makes Casablanca City Tour – Let’s travel a unique experience ?
Hassan II Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الحسن الثاني) is a mosque located in Casablanca (Morocco). Erected partly on the sea, it is a religious and cultural complex, built on nine hectares and includes a prayer room, ablution room [archive], baths, a Koranic school (madrasa), a library and a museum .
Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Church is a Catholic parish church located in Casablanca, Morocco. It was built in 1954 by Achille Dangleterre and engineer Gaston Zimmer and is the second church of Casablanca after the church of the Sacred Heart which is no longer assigned to worship today.
The district of Habous offers a total immersion in the Casablanca of yesteryear, rich of histories and traditions. In its narrow streets, lined with stalls and bazaars, time seems to have stopped. With its typical Moroccan architecture, the district of Habous was intended to accommodate families of merchants from various regions of Morocco.
Thus the new medina, as it is called, was built by answering perfectly to the style of a classical medina, combining Moroccan tradition and rules of modern urbanism. Which makes it a unique example in terms of architecture.
Far from the noisy and busy streets of the ancient Medinas, the Habous have a peaceful and calm atmosphere, an atmosphere full of spirituality. It comes of course from the beautiful mosque “Mohammadi”, and the many tiny offices of the adouls around it, these representatives of justice, consulted to transcribe all acts related to personal status. A little further, the street of booksellers with its beautiful arcades and its many windows, offers to see beautiful bound books, precious illuminations and examples of calligraphy sought.
Behind begins the street Ibn Khaldoun. There is a real open-air theater, with all the jewelery sellers, djellabas and other slippers. There are beautiful pieces of traditional Moroccan crafts or updated. The shops with their colorful objects and piled up on the ground look like real caves of Ali Baba. This is the perfect place to stock up on babouches, gandoras, tunics, belts, bags … The colors are shimmering, the smell of ubiquitous leather. At the end of this street is the place Moulay Youssef with its mosque of the same name. From here begins other horizons.
In this real labyrinth that is the medina, rich of its various souks with spices, olives, and its kissarias, visitors forget the fury of the city. Passage of this beautiful district: the pastry Bennis, specialist of Moroccan pastry since 1930, which is nestled in an unnamed house and whose Moroccan cakes, horns of gazelle, briouates and other chhiwates are famous throughout the country. Some cafes scattered in the district of Habous allow to breathe a little around a mint tea or a full-bodied black coffee, to savor these delicious delicacies!
