Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Casablanca is from May to October, when the city enjoys its driest months. During this period, even hot days are tempered by a refreshing sea breeze, making the climate more comfortable. However, Casablanca is blessed with a warm climate year-round, so a winter visit isn't entirely off the table. While there's a chance of encountering some rain, the milder temperatures can still make for a pleasant trip.

Passport/Visa

Citizens of the European Union, as well as the United States, Australia, and dozens of world countries can visit Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. Look up individual prerequisites prior to travel in order to possibly apply for a visa in time.

Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN)

Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport is located about 30 km south of the city centre, with the journey into Casablanca taking roughly 40–45 minutes, depending on traffic.

Taxi

Taxis are widely available throughout Casablanca. Petit taxis (small, red cars) are ideal for short trips within the city, while Grand taxis (white vehicles) are typically used for longer journeys or shared routes. Petit taxis usually run on a meter, though it’s worth asking the driver to turn it on, especially at night. Uber is not currently available in Morocco, but Careem operates in Casablanca and works much like the familiar ride‑hailing app. Another option is inDrive, which lets passengers propose a fare directly to the driver.

Buses & Trains

For intercity travel within Morocco, CTM buses are a reliable and extensive option. They operate from Gare Routière, in the heart of Casablanca, and are generally comfortable for longer trips. Alternatively, if you prefer rail travel, the Gare du Port serves as the main hub for trains, with connections to cities like Rabat, Fes, and Marrakech.

Dress Code

Morocco offers a rich tapestry of modern development and deep-rooted tradition, particularly noticeable as you move from urban to rural settings. For tourists, understanding and respecting this cultural backdrop is crucial. Opting for modest attire, long sleeves, and full-length bottoms is advisable for both men and women. Not only does this show cultural respect, but it's also practical: loose, airy clothing like long skirts, maxi dresses, or flowing trousers helps keep you cool and offers sun protection.
