Wonderful day despite the travel time. Our driver Archraf was great. Took us to all the key stops for tours/photos. What a nice guy! Terrific experience. PS If you have more than 3 adults in your group you may want to grab an suv (vs a car). It was a bit cramped with 3 in the back.
To be clear, this isn't a "guided tour", this was private transportation to Casablanca from Marrakech to see some of their sites. I think owing to time we weren't able to get to the Sacred Heart church, but our tour operator made the reservation for us to Rick's Cafe, and the operator and driver were very flexible - this was really a go at your own pace transportation. And the Hassan 2 Mosque was well worth the 3hr drive - absolutely awe-inspiring. The Casablanca beach promenade was beautiful. Was a good day out.
Pick up 0800 for a 3 hour drive to Casablanca. We we 10 in a lixury 16 seater. Roads are fantastic so rude is comfy. Mosque impressive, corniche really nice. Some great photos. Visit old town, trinket shop, decent meal. Arrived back Marakesh I think around 630pm. Very much a whistle stop tour, but why not... We all enjoyed it. N
The jewel of Casablanca is the HasanII mosque. Worth the trip. Our driver (Simo/Salimi) was courteous, punctual, attentive and accommodating. The ride was very comfortable.

Casablanca is amazing - travelling with our guide made it memorable by explaining things as we drove there. The mosque is amazing - one of the only in the world where you can go in as a non Muslim. The best part is visiting the Humphrey bogart bar! Worth the trip

Our tour guide and driver Achraf was warm and thoughtful. We were able to visit the famous attractions in Casablanca and Rick’s cafe where we wanted to check in. The whole trip was well paced and we didn’t feel too tired after visiting many attractions. We had a great time with our one-year-old child, and the tour guide also provided us with a child chair, which made us feel more at ease when riding.
