The Atlantic pushes against Casablanca’s stone edge as you step from an air‑conditioned van onto the promenade — salt wind and gulls daring you to look farther. Your guide leads you across the expansive plaza to the Hassan II Mosque, its minaret slicing the sky and mosaics catching light like tiny mirrors, before threading you into the Medina’s narrow alleys and the quieter courtyards of the Habous Quarter.
