On this map, we've tried to suggest:

(1) two areas where you could stay in Casablanca – one that is lively, and another that is a little more residential and calm – along with some hotel recommendations

(2) a couple of inspiration itineraries if you're interested in traveling in Morocco – they serve more as an indicator of cities and places to visit that are somewhat close to one another

(3) some more places that you could add to an itinerary / visit depending on your interests. These are a little more nature-focused

The map also includes precise locations of the venues where celebrations will take place on April 18 and 19.

Casablanca is still quite a car-centric place. (Red) taxis are commonly used, but tend to overcharge tourists. Always insist the meter is on. You can only pay in cash.

For peace of mind and user-friendliness, you can use the some of the following ride-hailing apps:

Uber, Careem – need no introduction

Lalla Drive – app where drivers are women

inDrive – use with caution, driver carefulness ranges widely. Generally only takes cash.

OR you can also take the tramway, which covers much of Casablanca's busier areas

Most major Moroccan cities are connected by:

Trains

The train system is pretty dense when it comes to major and mid-sized cities. It generally works well, though most lines aren't high-speed.

The only high-speed line is the one connecting Casablanca to Tangier (via Rabat & Kenitra).

For information & to book tickets, check out the ONCF website.

Highways

If you're planning to drive between cities in Morocco, we recommend you get the Jawaz Pass (E-ZPass equivalent). You can purchase it at any Orange Telecom store, or Afriquia gas station. Make sure to stop in rest areas to get some of the best grilled food in the country.

If not, there are buses, and we recommend booking CTM.

If Casablanca will be your base, and are thinking about day trips here are a few I would recommend:

Via train:

High-speed rail – Rabat (.5 hour), Tangier (1.5 hours)

"Regular" rail – Marrakech (2 hours 45 minutes) Meknès (3.5 hours), Fez (4 hours)

If you're planning to rent a car:

All of the above remain an option – with the Rabat & Tangier trips being longer via car. Marrakech / Meknès would be reachable within 2.5 hours, and Fez within 3 hours.

For an overnight trip, via car/bus and in a little over 4 hours, you could get to Chefchaouen (close to Tangier) or Essaouira (close to Marrakech)
