The Ultimate Morocco (& Casablanca) Map

<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1fQr15zHrFsrQhisE6NxcA2qwDRBX3Vc&amp;usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On this map</a>, 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-focusedThe map also includes precise locations of the venues where celebrations will take place on April 18 and 19.

Transportation In Casablanca

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 introductionLalla Drive – app where drivers are womeninDrive – use with caution, driver carefulness ranges widely. Generally only takes cash. OR you can also take the <a href="https://www.casatramway.ma/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tramway</a>, which covers much of Casablanca's busier areas

Transportation in Morocco

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 &amp; Kenitra).For information &amp; to book tickets, check out the <a href="https://www.oncf-voyages.ma/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ONCF</a> website. HighwaysIf you're planning to drive between cities in Morocco, we recommend you get the <a href="https://www.adm.co.ma/fr/le-pass-jawaz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jawaz Pass</a> (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 <a href="https://ctm.ma/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CTM</a>.

Day trips out of Casablanca

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 &amp; 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)

Travel, Lodging & Transportation

Casamemoire often organize architectural tours of Casablanca https://www.casamemoire.org/

If you'd like to sample some of what the Atlantic coast has to offer in terms of fish and seafood – we recommend stopping by the Marché Central. At the Marché, you can buy your own fish and seafood, to be cooked at one of the many stalls (some of which got super famous, https://www.instagram.com/by_aicha_nour/) Super casual and a Casablanca staple.

Things to Do in Casa

Once guests arrive, the bride and groom make an entrance, with the bride carried on a "a'mmaria."There will be lots of music and dancing, with savory &amp; sweet bites served throughout. Later on there will be a dress change, the bride and groom will be carried in (on a "mida"). There will be more snacks and dancing Dinner will be served around 19:30. Depending on length of service, it may be followed by some more mellow music to close the party.
