Airport
Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN)
Region
Atlantic coast · Central Morocco
Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and main international airport hub (CMN). It is not the imperial-romantic Morocco of postcards — it's a working modern metropolis with art-deco architecture from the French period, an Atlantic corniche, and the staggering Hassan II Mosque on the water. Most travellers transit through; we build it in as a half-day for those who want to see it properly.

Casablanca — common questions
Is Casablanca worth visiting?+
For most leisure travellers, a half-day around the Hassan II Mosque and downtown is enough. Spend your nights in Marrakech, Fes or Essaouira instead.
Should I fly into Casablanca or Marrakech?+
Casablanca (CMN) has more long-haul flights; Marrakech (RAK) is closer to most itineraries. We often book the open-jaw: in to CMN, out from RAK.
