What you need to know before you book your airfare and tickets
Indulge in a romantic holiday with a cheap flight to Casablanca. Casablanca is perhaps the most modern city in Morocco, with many companies headquartered here. However, it is not without its old-fashioned charms. The Old Medina, though smaller than in Fes or Marrakech, is well worth a visit. A popular activity while in Casablanca is to visit a hammam. These bathhouses will give you such a thorough scrubbing and cleansing that you will feel like a different person when you emerge. The vast Hassan II Mosque is an impressive sight as it stands on its rocky outcrop overlooking the Atlantic. It can hold over 100 000 worshippers, and can boast of having the tallest minaret in the world. To see a beautiful example of Moorish revival architecture, stop by the handsome Cathedrale Sacre-Couer. The building was formerly a Roman-Catholic cathedral, but is a cultural centre these days. It is also worth climbing the stairs to the top of the towers for excellent views over Casablanca. Visit the Central Market to see what the people are Casablanca are having for dinner. The stalls are bursting with not just meat, but seafood of every description. There are other stalls too, filled with handwoven baskets, colourful flowers, felt slippers and more. For those who prefer to eat out, you will find a large variety of cuisines here. Pop into Ricks Cafe if you are a fan of the film Casablanca. You will find a piano player entertaining guests with his rendition of As Time Goes By, while waiters in Fezzes ferry around plates of food.
