Three days in
Casablanca.

After arrival

• Go to your accommodation
• Check in
• Put down your bags
• Take a breather
• Have a drink or a light snack
• Then head outside at an easy pace

The idea this afternoon is to get a feel for Casablanca before photographing it.

First walk around the neighbourhood

Walk through the surrounding streets without a strict schedule.

Kenzi Tower / surroundings

Later, head towards Kenzi Tower. Look beyond the building itself to the contrast between the modern city and street life.

Late afternoon — Corniche / Ain Diab

Head towards the sea in the late afternoon to end your first day in Casablanca at an easy pace.

A break by the sea

Make time to sit down together.

Boca Chica — A pleasant spot for tea or coffee with a sea view.

Balthazar Cafe — A comfortable place for a relaxed drink or meal.

Cafe Ocean View — A place to relax and enjoy the view.

No activity needed. Simply: sit + drink + look + be together

Evening

• A relaxed walk along the Corniche
• Dinner
• Perhaps tea or coffee
• Return to your accommodation

Overnight: Casablanca

Morning — Hassan II Mosque premium tour

Start the morning with a guided visit to the Hassan II Mosque. Take time to listen, admire the architecture and experience the atmosphere.

After the tour — exterior and ocean side

Stay outside for a little while afterwards.

• small figures in the frame
• lines of the square
• minaret
• reflections
• waves
• rocks
• fishermen
• minaret with the ocean

Wide: 24–35 mm

Medium: 35–50 mm

Try to make at least one image that truly conveys the mosque’s scale.

Habous Quarter

Then head towards Habous, where the pace becomes slower.

• traditional architecture
• arches
• bookshops
• spices
• olives
• pastries
• shopkeepers
• hands
• people in doorways

A pleasant place to wander without rushing.

Lens: mainly 35–70 mm

Break / lunch

• tea
• coffee
• lunch
• pick up something tasty
• put the camera away for a while

There is no rush to move on.

Old Medina

Later, head towards the Old Medina. Photography becomes more spontaneous and focused on everyday life.

• shopkeepers
• people carrying shopping
• scooters
• markets
• doors
• shadows
• passages
• hands
• colours
• textures

Find one good background and wait for someone to enter the frame.

Lens: 35–70 mm

Late afternoon — Corniche

Return towards the sea at the end of the day. No big photography mission now. Just walk and wind down.

Possible break: Boca Chica or Balthazar Cafe

Have a drink. Take a few photos. Then put the camera away.

Overnight: Casablanca

A quiet morning

Start with a leisurely breakfast, then choose what you feel like doing. Perhaps a local café. No strict starting time.

A free morning

• a gentle neighbourhood walk
• café
• shopping
• take a few street photographs
• return to your accommodation for a while
• visit a shop or place that interests you
• simply wander through Casablanca without a plan

No compulsory programme.

Street photography — only if it feels right

If you feel like taking more photographs, choose one or two quiet streets.

• people on the move
• taxis
• cafés
• shopkeepers
• hands
• shadows
• reflections
• people in doorways

Lens: 50–70 mm

But this day does not have to revolve around photography.

Lunch

Take your time over lunch. Find somewhere comfortable and feel free to stay longer.

Afternoon — free time

Deliberately leave this part of the day open.

• shopping
• café
• return to your accommodation
• rest for a while
• walk together
• visit something you missed earlier

Ain Diab

Head towards Ain Diab later in the afternoon. Let the focus shift from architecture and history to people + sea + atmosphere.

• people on café terraces
• families
• young people
• surfers
• walkers
• silhouettes
• feet in the sand
• children by the water

Lens: 35–70 mm

Your last sunset in Casablanca

Find a quiet spot on the coast. Take perhaps just three or four photos, then lower the camera.

Dinner by the sea

Le Cabestan — A place for dinner overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to end your time in Casablanca.

No more programme. Simply: eat + talk + reflect on the journey + enjoy the coast

Overnight: Casablanca
