A salt wind from the Atlantic pushes across the esplanade as the Hassan II Mosque rises at the water’s edge — stone, tile and a minaret that marks Casablanca’s skyline. In half a day the city moves from this monumental shorefront to the compact lanes of the Habous Quarter, across the formal plazas of the French-era center and along the lively Corniche where cafes watch the sea.

History
Casablanca expanded rapidly under French administration in the early 1900s; the Habous Quarter was built in the 1930s as a planned ‘new medina’ blending Moroccan forms with colonial-era urban design.
Conservation
Coastal sections face erosion and litter pressures; minimizing single-use plastics and staying on paved paths helps protect shoreline habitats and local beach areas.
