10 minutes
This square, now the municipal administrative centre, consists of many buildings from the 20s, most of them with Hispanic-Muslim architecture and Art Deco influences. You should look carefully at its elegant arcades and white façades, adorned with gold coloured stone. One of its most striking buildings is the Prefecture (Wilaya), inaugurated in 1930 by Mohammed V who was then the Sultan. It houses a beautiful tropical garden, as well as paintings by Louis Majorelle, the French decorator. In 1976 he added a fountain that, from time to time, delights visitors with spectacular shows of music and water. You can see a spectacular view of Casablanca from a 50 meter high tower that stands just beside the Prefecture. Completing the area is the French Consulate, where we can see the equestrian statue of the French General Hubert Lyautey inside, and which was located in the centre of the square years ago.

Built in 1917 and in the 40s, Habous district is a kind of twentieth century medina, located in the south of the city of Casablanca. Originally designed to accommodate families of Moroccan merchants, this district is still very commercial today. You will find everything: carpets, furniture, babouches, olives, traditional clothes, honey, pottery, spices, books ... Cafes and restaurants also make up this pleasant place. It is besides in Habous district that one finds the best Moroccan pastry of Casablanca: Bennis Habous. Hidden in a small alley, this gourmet shop is extremely famous.
30 minutes
Kasbah des Oudaias
The Oudaya Kasbah is a haven of tranquility, with its flower-filled little streets, Andalusian garden and Moorish café. Referred to also as Kasbah of the Udayas, the Oudaya Kasbah is one of the most unique sites in Morocco and is the first milestone of the city of Rabat. It’s located at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, opposite to the city of Salé, in Rabat, Morocco. UNESO recognized the significance of the Oudaya Kasbah and added it on the World Heritage Tentative List in 2006.
30 minutes
Chellah
The Phoenicians were the first to settle on this sloping site above the Bou Regreg river, and the Romans took control in about 40 CE, renaming the settlement Sala Colonia. Scattered stones from their city remain, but give little idea of its size or form. Abandoned in 1154, it lay deserted until the 14th century, when Merenid sultan Abou Al Hassan Ali built a necropolis on top of the Roman site and surrounded it with the defensive wall that stands today.
