5 Fun things to do in Casablanca

The medina attracts many visitors per year, buy a shisha!

1. Pretend you are good at bargaining prices in the Medina

Buy yourself the fish and they will cook it for you, bon appetit!

2. Have a fine fresh seafood lunch in the Marché Central and ask for the secret "Pom's" drink...white goes better with fish, right?

Unfortunately, men and women are separated, meaning half the fun.

3. Have a traditional Hammam and a relaxing massage in Le Pacha Casablanca Hammam

A relaxing cup of tea in this chic Tea Room in Casablanca

4. Drink the typical Moroccan Mint Tea, or any other tea in the place with the best selection in town, Freres Gourmets.

Loud cool live music at its best in one mitical place

5. Dance the night away with the best live music in the world famous Amstrong (if you can find it, since there is no sign)

Snack Oujda, popular cool in the Medina

Casamood travel guide is fond of old Medinas. Its true that the Medina of Casablanca has very little charm compared with the magical alleys of the Fes Medina or even with the shopping experience of Marrakech, nonetheless, for the occasional tourist or locals in search of fake Ralph Lauren T shirts, fake Ray-ban sunglasses or fake Louis Vuitton belts it has proven to be a consistent choice. People is friendly and security is high, and if you happen to be hungry and your wallet is not big enough to take you into the gorgeous Hyatt just round the corner don't worry, because Snack Oujda is the popular-chic you're looking for. With about 15 tables all next to each other you will be rubbing shoulders with locals that will care very little about you, the place looks dirty but food is extremely fresh, on the menu: prawns, squid, hake, sole and the best of them all, swordfish. All of them deep fried and served with a homemade spicy tomato sauce, forget ketchup, this is the real thing. You can compose your own dish and the price stays the same: 40 dirhams, with bread and water included (even if its probably a good idea to order some regular Sidi Ali water unless you survived 3 years in Afghanistan). My own advice is to stick with the squid rings and the swordfish, well worth coming back.
