Destination Essentials

Casablanca’s moderate climate combined with its bustling events schedule means any season has its allure. However, the months of March to May (spring) and April to July offer ideal weather for outdoor explorations and beach lounging.

August, July, and September may be warmer but are offset with vivacious festive events and open-air exhibitions. However, if you prefer a less crowded experience, September is the least expensive month to visit this Atlantean city. So, pack your bags and prepare to discover an expanse of treasures that Casablanca offers.
