The Hassan II Mosque, whose minaret is the tallest religious structure in Africa, sits on a platform extending over the ocean and is the first thing you see from the ship. Non-Muslims can visit the interior on guided tours that run several times a day. The city centre is a short taxi or shuttle ride from the port and mixes Art Deco buildings from the French colonial period with modern high-rises. The Habous Quarter, sometimes called the New Medina, has a more orderly layout than a traditional medina and is a good place to buy argan oil, leather goods and spices without much haggling pressure. The Central Market sells fresh produce and seafood. For food, tagines and pastilla are on most restaurant menus, and street stalls serve msemen flatbread and mint tea. The Corniche at Ain Diab, a beachfront strip west of the centre, has cafés with ocean views. The dirham is the local currency and cannot be exported, so spend what you take out. ## Your day in Casablanca Shuttle into town. No walking through the port. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Port of Casablanca (33.61516, -7.60250) - **Shuttle stop** (33.59500, -7.61866) Walking times from the shuttle stop: - Within 15 min: Medina of Casablanca, Mohammed V Square, Central Market, Sacred Heart Cathedral - Within 30 min: Hassan II Mosque, Rick's Café Casablanca Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/1fd28c95-c097-4b32-9f0e-8312dc96aacb.geojson) ### What to see #### Hassan II Mosque Seafront mosque with a 210 m minaret.
