Day Trips from Casablanca
The best excursions and trips you can do in a day
Full-Day Trips
Worth dedicating a whole day to explore.
Rabat
Train $12 round-trip, site entries $7, lunch $15, 25Morocco's capital lines up marble mausoleums, cliff-top gardens, and a compact medina in one elegant package. The Hassan Tower looms above the Bouregreg delta while waves crash below, good for a picnic you never expected to eat in a capital.
Marrakech Express
Train $45 round-trip, food & sites $30, 40Yes, it's doable in a day if you catch the 7 a.m. fast train. Lose yourself in Jemaa el-Fnaa's drum circle, grab a rooftop tagine, and still be back for Casablanca's last train at 9 p.m.
El Jadida & Portuguese Cistern
Bus $10, cistern entry $2, lunch $12A fortified seaside town where 16th-century stone bastions guard quiet Atlantic beaches. The underground cistern throws perfect reflections of stone pillars, bring a wide-angle lens.
Azemmour & Oum Er-Rbia River
Grand taxi $8 each way, boat ride $6, lunch $10Walls splashed with street art meet riverfront ramparts in this sleepy artists' town. The scent of fresh-baked khobz drifts from communal ovens tucked inside medieval gates.
Oualidia Lagoon
Car & driver $90, oyster lunch $25, kayak rental $15A crescent of calm water framed by oyster beds and cliffs. You'll taste metallic-sweet oysters minutes after they're pulled from the lagoon while flamingos feed in the background.
Moulay Bousselham & Merja Zerga
Taxi share $12 each way, boat guide $20, meals $15A protected lagoon where salt air mingles with mint tea steam. Local boatmen pole across reeds to find flamingos, spoonbills, and the occasional bald ibis.
Volubilis & Meknes
Train $20, taxi & entries $15, lunch $12Roman mosaics still glow under the Moroccan sun, followed by a quick jaunt to Meknes' massive granaries and horse-fountain squares.
Half-Day Options
Shorter excursions when time is limited.
Ain Diab Beach & La Corniche
Tram $0.80, coffee or tea $2, 4Casablanca's own stretch of sand lined with cafés serving mint tea in silver glasses. Joggers pound the promenade while Atlantic waves crash just meters away.
Bouskoura Forest
$15, 20 including snacksA surprising pine plantation on the city's southern fringe. Locals walk dogs along resin-scented trails that feel miles from Casablanca's honking avenues.
Mohammedia Marina Walk
Train $4 round-trip, lunch $8, 12Ten minutes north by train lies a quieter port where yachts bob and fishermen mend nets beside open-air grills.
Dar Bouazza Surf Dip
$20, 25 including board rental and snacksA wedge of reef break popular with Casablanca locals. Even non-surfers enjoy the salty breeze and grilled corn from beach carts.
Day Trip Tips
Make the most of your excursions.
- ✓ First-class train tickets are only marginally more expensive and spare you the scrum for seats on busy lines to Rabat or Marrakech.
- ✓ Petit taxis inside Casablanca are metered. Negotiate hard for destinations outside city limits or pre-book via Careem.
- ✓ Friday is prayer day, most museums in Rabat and Meknes open after 2 p.m.; plan accordingly.
- ✓ Pack layers: Atlantic mornings can be foggy and cool even in summer, while inland Volubilis bakes by noon.
- ✓ Bring cash in small denominations for parking attendants, boat guides, and the inevitable mint-tea hospitality.
- ✓ CTM and ONCF apps show real-time schedules in English. Download before you set out to avoid station Wi-Fi hiccups.
- ✓ Oyster beds in Oualidia close during the warmest summer weeks for safety, call ahead if that's your main draw.
- ✓ Shared grand taxis seat six. Solo travelers can buy two spots for extra comfort if the back row feels cramped.
