Private Casablanca Day Trip from Marrakech
The Casablanca City Tour is a private full-day trip from Marrakech to Casablanca and back, about 240 km from the city and roughly 3 hours by road each way. Your driver collects you at your hotel or riad in Marrakech and drives you to Casablanca. There you visit the Hassan II Mosque on the Atlantic shore (exterior and esplanade), drive along the Corniche seafront, see Mohammed V Square and the Art Deco city center, explore the Habous quarter and pass the Royal Palace gates, before the drive back to Marrakech in the evening. The price is per private group, not per person, in your own air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver.
It suits travelers based in Marrakech who want to see Morocco's largest city and its best-known landmark in a single day, without organizing transport or changing hotels. Because the tour is private, the route and pace can be adapted to your group. Tell us what matters most when you request availability.
