A Weekend in Casablanca: The 2-Day Itinerary
Casablanca is a compact town, which suits a one-day visit: you can cover a lot without rushing. Think of this as a sketch of a day in Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat: where to start, where to eat twice, and how to end the evening. Every stop is a real place you can look up right now.

Day 1: the essentials
Day one covers the main sights: the outdoor opener, the cultural anchor, and a good dinner.
Mohbas
Don't skip Mohbas. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Day 2: go deeper
Day two goes deeper: the additional sights, plus a slower morning.
Palace of the King AbdAllah of Saudi Arabia
Palace of the King AbdAllah of Saudi Arabia is one of those Casablanca landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Palais Al-Saoud قصر آل سعود
Don't skip Palais Al-Saoud قصر آل سعود. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Evenings
Both nights deserve a proper ending. If the calendar cooperates, a live event beats a bar; if not, dinner somewhere lively does the job.
Body Attack
Here's a genuine only-in-Casablanca moment: Body Attack at Commons Zerktouni, Saturday, October 10, 6 PM (Sports & Fitness). Tickets Free. Body Attack is on Saturday, Oct 10 at Commons Zerktouni, Casablanca. Build the day around it and everything else falls into place.
Cinéma : Les survivants du Che, de Christophe Dimitri Réveille
Day anchor: Cinéma : Les survivants du Che, de Christophe Dimitri Réveille at Théâtre - 121, Boulevard Mohamed Zerktouni - Casablanca on Tuesday, October 13, 7 PM (Cinéma). Théâtre - 121, Boulevard Mohamed Zerktouni - Casablanca hosts Cinéma : Les survivants du Che, de Christophe Dimitri Réveille on Oct 13 to Oct 25. Real events beat generic sightseeing every time; this is the day's anchor.
