Picture-Perfect Casablanca in Half a Day

After waking up at the free hotel from Royal Air Maroc (Relax Hotel—decent, but ask reception for towels), we kicked off a super-chill Casablanca citywalk! 🚗 Getting Around Hire a private car! So worth it—we found one near our hotel for under 100 MAD to downtown. 📸 Itinerary Hassan II Mosque → Messinas View (epic mosque panorama) → Rick’s Café → La Sqala (lunch) → Mohammed V Square → Medina Market 💙 Hassan II Mosque Ticket: 140 MAD (students get 50% off!) Highlights: Jaw-dropping exterior—perfect for wide shots at the entrance! Even more stunning inside (don’t miss the underground bathhouse—so unique!). 📷 Rick’s Café Arrived too early (opens at 3 PM), but the "Reserve" sign outside made for film-worthy snaps! 🎬 🍴 La Sqala Morocco’s iconic themed restaurant—looks like a storybook castle 🏰. Pro tip: Lunch starts at 12 PM (only breakfast before). Their tagine is a must—100% authentic! 😔 Missed Spots Ran out of time for Mohammed V Square & Medina Market (we lingered too long!). Next time! #Morocco #Casablanca #TravelDiaries #HiddenGems #Wanderlust
