6 Hours in CASABLANCA - What To See On A DAY TRIP - Morocco Travel Vlog

- We spend 6 hours in Casablanca in this Morocco Travel Vlog! Watch as we visit the white city of Morocco, including incredible landmarks like the Hassan II Mosque, and Rick's Cafe for those "Casablanca" film lovers!
We have been in Morocco since February of 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and we have recently been able to visit other parts of the country, rather than being stuck in our apartment in Rabat.
We take full advantage and visit the iconic city of Casablanca! Watch as we spend a few hours touring the city and giving our thoughts on what we find! We got a bit of a late start in the morning, so we only gave ourselves 5 hours to see Casablanca. We really enjoy walking, so our sightseeing was all done on foot!
As we begin to travel a bit more, please know that we are being as safe as possible and we advise other travelers to do the same!
So, enjoy our take on a few hours spent in Casablanca in our continued Morocco travel vlog series!

if you walked all the way on foot, you must have walked about 10 miles!?
The peninsula on the beach, those used to be Private Swim Clubs
Some of them had American names such as Miami Beach Club, and Kentucky Club etc..
Some inside info for you guys
- Hassan II Mosque is actually a whole Cultural complex
You saw the Mosque, one of the buildings you showed I think is the Library
They also have a building there for theological research
- The downtown area where Rick's Cafe is (on Avenue Des FAR) went and still undergoing a wholesale reconstruction. The Train Station you arrived at is part of the whole project, it was inaugurated about 3 years ago, I think.
you'll notice a problem of lack of sidewalks, that's because most of those streets are part of the old city design
Some of those streets may become pedestrian walk ways
It's usually a lot worst kinda like downtown Atlanta or NYC, very crowded by people and cars
Dude you have solid knowledge of the country and its history... 👍👍
This is great info as always- thank you Johnny!
Oh my God you work for CIA FBI or something like that hhh just playing respect I'm originally from Morocco and i don't know all of that thanks
You forgot to mention the most important info, which is that they wouldn't have had access to the mosque even if it was open! That Mosque and all others are only for muslims it's not a cultural complex it's not for sight seeing! Pretty important information to suprisingly be ommited! For embelishment purposes perhaps?
@@miamay7688 no not only for muslims, mosque hassab 2 has the possibility to get in it just they must wear a scarf
Geographically speaking, some of Morocco was never under official French Occupation or any other foreign occupation. Casablanca Rabat and that middle part of Morocco was under French Protectorate
This means there was always a Moroccan Government and Moroccan Ambassadors worldwide
Morocco's north and southern parts where however under Spanish occupation.. two cities in the north are still under Spanish occupation
Tangier was an international city, I think under UN authority
All Protectorate status ended in 1956, after which Morocco began regaining sovereignty on its other territories
Guys you made my day thanks for this amazing video i really miss walking traveling in Morocco
Hey becky and Ryan, as Casablanca native, I would like to thank you for this great video, what you showed and said makes me feel good, that's is your city, welcome anytime, and thanks for visit us, a lot of love💟
🥰 we enjoyed our visit! Thanks very much for watching!
oh my god ... this is the city where i spent a long time in my life. I love Casablanca. I love the air, the ocean, the water, the soil, I like everythings of Casablanca. Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoyed it! We would really like to go back and spend more time in Casablanca!
very nice, quick trip to Casablanca, beautiful..!!
Welcome to morrocco freinds 🇲🇦♥️🇱🇷
🙏❤
Nice vidéo thank you for sharing 👍keep safe .
Hello guys, nice video like always.it’s nice to see you visiting Casablanca .Unfortunately all the sites still close. Guys try to go to Tanger , it’s only two hours ride by the fastest train in the world 320 km/h . You can go early morning and come back in the evening.Cost around 115.00 DH /person. You will see where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean ocean meet.But before you go do your homework ,so you don’t waist your time. Like time for first and last train , famous sites and restaurants. Good luck.
Thanks Abou! That is great advice. Tangier is still Zone 2 so we can't get there but we hope to see it in the future!
We visit Casablanca with you guys. Thank you 🌹🌹💙💙
Thank you for watching!!
have a nice time
You have to visit Habous in CASABLANCA, it's a big old area built between in 1918 & 1930.
This quiet area is now home to many artisans selling handcrafted things , and lot of library, cafes & restaurants.
I hope you come back to Casablanca, to visit Habous. Good Trip.
That place sounds really cool- thanks for the tip!
You are very welcome in my city tangiers.
Big love from from tangiers.
Thanks! Hopefully we will have time!
Hello. Good tour. Thank you
Thank you for visiting my city
Our pleasure!
سلام الله عليكم 🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
alhamdulillah
Wecome to Morocco : I recomend you visiting "Tetouan" and its regions where there are the best Beaches
@Rachael Frh are you sure ? hhh It is Zone 1 and live there ..infections are les and less than other regions
@@trocobob yes but in alhoceima we have none... We win for now😂😎
Funny you should mention that- we are in Tetouan now! We are wearing masks and taking precautions to stay safe. Is there anything specific you think we should see here?
@@BeckyandRyanTravel well if you are lucky you will see the kings motorcade he is on holiday there all the places goe to in tetouan are most likely closed there is th old city with the the Jewish quarter (melah) witch very nice, the dove, quatro camino and my farm is located 160 km from there a 100 miles... ❄️🐫
@@BeckyandRyanTravel lol hhhhh what a coincidence!!... you can visit the Medina (Feddan) / Old medina / -- for beaches the best one are located between Mdiq and Fnidaq . you can visits also Martil (small town) which is Near by 8KM from Tetouan . .. enjoy your trip

It's our pleasure- thanks for watching! It makes us happy that we can bring you a little bit of home during all of this craziness! :)
nice trip i think you enjoyed it
great to see you again 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
I’m sorry that didn’t get to get up close to the Hassan II Mosque. It’s up close that you are able to really see the massive scale of everything. I haven’t done the inside tour (I don’t know what it currently costs), but I’ve seen videos in the past of the inside. It’s beautiful! I hope you will get the opportunity to go and visit other cities once everything opens up.
Honestly it was worth the visit to Casa just to see it from the outside!
I would love to meet you in Casablanca. I love you guys.
To all Moroccans please support those kind people who are doing good things for morocco ...they are supporting the moroccan tourism ...I tell them all : thank you for all you are doing for my country ..So proud of you...
❤❤ It is truly our pleasure to be here in Morocco, even under the current circumstances!
@@BeckyandRyanTravel i understand...you are very welcome...I do appreciate what you are doing ...much thanks
You were near morocco mall ....bigest mall in Africa....he is in the end of the corniche!
We should have gone- we were just so tired by then! 😂
The Moroccan architecture is one of the best architectural Styles in the World... I love it 😍
A short nice trip to Casablanca ! It's a pity i didn't meet you there otherwise i would show other deep popular streets such as the old medina, the Habous streets,Ain Diab,Dar bouâza ....Any way the trip was an initiation to discover the econimic city and its hustle and bustle as you say ! Ha!ha! Keep on producing such wonderful videos ! I all the time like ! Thank you and good luck !
Thanks so much! We will let you know if we make it back to Casa- I know there is a lot more to see!
Nice vidéo ❤
Welcome to morocco any time . We love you 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
I’ve just binge watched all your great vlogs. Many Thanks for sharing these. I miss Morocco!! ......You both are awesome.❤️
Thank you- that is so nice!! We really appreciate you being a part of the journey!
Casablanca is beautiful! I’m glad you finally get to sightsee and are showing us the not so touristy places off the beaten path -that’s what I like to see. Keep those videos coming!
Our pleasure- thank you foe watching!
Interesting! I believe in the past before the pandemic tourists booked tours to the mosque Hassan II, its incredible with nice and pure Moroccan architecture
Good sharing! Thanks!
Like👍
Beautiful Vlog in Casablanca , a big up guys keep walking and i hope you discover more Moroccan cities see ya next
Thank you 🙌
Loubna from Texas thanks for visiting my home town Casablanca good luck exploring Morocco and have a nice stay
Thank you! 😃
It’s me again from London. Thanks for visiting my hometown where I was born and bred. Your tour took me to the past and the good memories I still remember like yesterday. My only advice is be careful while filming outside in case someone snatches your phone as this is the case here in London and all over the world. Good luck
Hhhhhhhh 3:20 That is where I used to swim. Ryan you are a lucky man you have with you the woman that have the most beautiful and innocent smile
That is very kind- thank you!! You swam right there? I bet that was amazing!
Very nice video .i hope you enjoyed your trip to casablanca .stay safe and healthy .have a great day .plan come to visit fes city there is so much to explore and to film.
sweet couple nice vlog keep vloging
Thank you 😊
Such a nice and Very Beautiful place, Great walking tour. Anyways enjoyed watching your video,looking forward to see more.😀From New york.😀👍
Thanks so much! 😊
a nice trip, hope u liked it, still Share with us we enjoyed.
Guys, you should come to visit Tangier, up in the extreme North of the country. The highest point of Africa, and the closest to Europe. It's not that far though, 1 hour 20 minutes away from Rabat by train. I think you will love it.
Amazing Vlog
Thank you 😊
Taking a 6-hour trip to Casablanca is an amazing idea, I've never been there 😂. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The mosques will be opened next week on Wednesday.
It was a fun trip! I hope you get to go. 💗
Man , if i knew you guys were here i would offer you a tour around the city because you missed so many great places that only locals know !
Interessant.....
I knew you would visit casablanca
There are beautiful cities in northern Morocco Tangier Martil Madiq Tetouan Fnidaq etc.
That beach walk is steel extended for at least 5 km more till you arrive to Africa's biggest mall called morocco mall but you turned back half way but maybe next time but it was a long walk you did 👍👍
Ahh, that makes sense. Yes, we were tired! Next time we will do more research and try to see the mall.
You guys doing good I hope you're enjoying it by the way home from the city place you live now 😊 I miss that place I'm stuck here in US
We want the same trip to Tangier 😍 there is an old building for the American Legation it was the first official building of the US outside the country it was given as a gift by the sultan back when tangier was an international city (as far as i know).. as you know Morocco is the first country to recognise the independence of the USA.. now the building is turned into a museum where you can find ancient documents exchanged between the two gouvernement
I'm glad you've finally made it to Casablanca. Such a huge place to visit. So perhaps a challenge in 6 hours! It's a pity you haven't been inside the mosque. So beautiful! It's also a pity you've visited it while lots of roadworks and remodelling projects are underway! These have been dragging on and on and now even worse with the pandemic. It's unpleasant to go for walks in the city centre at least. Anyway, hope you've enjoyed it! A Rabati resident here!
Thanks, Fati! Yeah, a lot of construction but it makes sense to do it now. Thanks for watching - We 💗 Rabat!
@@BeckyandRyanTravel me too I love Rabat, my hometown. I find it quieter, cleaner and safer than Casablanca even if this city has its own character. By the way, I'd like to say that each and every city in Morocco is unique in its own way. If you can visit Morocco, you'll notice the differences in terms of climate, for example. As you head southward, the hotter and drier it gets. Same thing goes for the east. The mildest weather is north and west. Overall, Morocco remains milder than most African countries. You can sense this diversity when you see the architectural and the colour patterns. You should also plan your visit taking in consideration historical backgrounds. Something I've noticed you do in your videos already. I'd like to add that most cities have special things to offer the visitor. Perhaps you could visit what we call imperial cities. You'll learn a lot about the rich and long history they tell. From Roman to Amazigh to Arab to contemporary influences. Have a good journey! Hey and last but not least, STAY SAFE! 😄 😄
Nice
Glad you are able to get out and about. Casablanca looks like an interesting city, too bad so much is currently closed. I can sympathize with the soreness from so much walking, I've had the same thing happen on vacations. You two take care and have fun!
That's what we get for visiting in a pandemic! :) With all of the walking we did, I still don't think we moved around as much as you do for SQL Sat! :) Hope all is well for you at home- you guys keep staying safe!
I really enjoyed it keep up the good vlogs😍😍😍
Thank you so much 😁
I’m glad you moved little far, Casablanca is nice you just need to know where to go exactly or you will lose time and energy.
Taxis are life savers in those situations, I don’t know how you did all of that walking, taxi cost only $2 or so.
I do suggest Essauira you will love it, check it out.
The best way to move from city to city is the train, if there is no train the best bus device is (7eme) sept-eme, like greyhound in America.
Enjoy the time, you guys are the best nicest couple 💖
Ohh welcome to casablanca my cité amazing vidéo 😍😍
Thank you!!
Cool
Hello friend make use your times to figure out our country and marrakech is so hot now we have 47 with hot wind is very healthy weather and dry climate also .your follower from marrakech was here👍👍👍
Welcome
Thank you!
Bekhy you are beautiful welcome to morocco moroccan live in españa
Thanks!
👍👍
the Hassan II mosque It is built under the reign and directives of King Hassan II. Planned on the site of the old municipal swimming pool, its construction began on July 12, 1986 and its inauguration took place on August 30, 1993, after seven years of work. All Moroccans visit the mosque especially during the month of Ramadan, i wish you all a good stay in Casablanca, thank you, 🌹👍.
That is really great information- thank you!!
Happy that you finally can visit other place since the lockdown i also heard the borders will be open on 14th July but no idea about usa border have fun ❤
👍👍👍
Happy birthday 👍❤❤❤❤❤✌👑👑🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
I advise you go to tangier north morocco you'll like it, totally different and enjoy high speed train TGV.
That's a great idea! Since they are still Zone 2 I don't think we can go right now.
That's true.
Make sure you visit north of morocco tangier and the surroundings
❤️❤️
Cool video as always. Stay cool and hydrated!. I hear there is a heat wave in Morocco right now.
Yes! It's hot here for sure!
nothing like the heat and sticky humidity of northern America.
Welcome to casa Ryan
👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍💐💐💐🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 je suis marocaine 🤗🤗🤗
Welcom to my city 🤝
Salam bravo
Brava😘😁
Welcom in marrakech
👍❤
Hi guys 😊😊
You know The owner of Ricks Café was a former ambassador of the United States of America to Morocco.
We had no idea- that's so cool!
"of all the gin joint in all the towns in all the world, you had to walk in to mine" casablanca is full of marvals... You didn't miss out on much when it come the food a Rick's Cafe over priced and not very good but the decor and the bar are awesome they make a mean gin& tonic and mojitos.. The structure by the mosque is a religious research facility I was told.... what ever that means. Casablanca was known as the second Paris back in the day for its arts and for how the French planned and build the modern part of the city resembling Paris. Good to see you are getting around and exploring... Your video went well with our ice cream break today.. We are in the middle almond picking season, which is fun it's just a little bit to hot these days. . stay safe and stay hydrated .. snow camel out!!! ❄️🐫
A G&T there would have been amazing! I'd actually really like to go back for that when things open up again. Almond picking sounds really cool! Thanks for all of your hard work in the hot sun to make sure we all have food!
Also, Mohamed, we would love to hear more about your farm! I think it's so interesting!
@@BeckyandRyanTravel I am more of black Russian man myself but when I was there last we had had the lamb shank which was not all that bad but I still think it's overpriced..(not that I m cheap but I grow up in household of chefs father executive chef in Norwegian hotel chain and my mother held courses in moroccan cuisine so food was always at the center at home) . We them moved to the lounge and bar area that is when after a few black Russians the atmosphere was awesome and felt very Bogardish and went on to order G&Ts that is when I discovered that the bartender was talented the drink a poured in a fashion that you actualy tasted stuff not just got slushed... Went there on two occasions one with my former job as group, the other on a more romantic setting and it worked!!! we are now married😜❄️🐫
@@BeckyandRyanTravel so how is tetouan? Hope you are enjoying your self they have nice beaches overthere two... You asked about my farm... It's a long story but it started with wanting a cabin on the country side since my father just inherited some thing like 1100acres odly enough 58 years after my grampa died so it starter withe little hut and now I m the midst of building a house a barn for sheep a chicken hatchery and rabbit nursery .... We have about 300 olive trees some old as 150 years old. 250 almonds and 200 figue trees... These are our commercial trees meaning we sell what we harvest... And then we have a garden that I started last year it has about 100 or so trees and shrubs 25 different fruits 10 or so different herbs and a space for seasonal fruit and veggis. Oh yeah 12 cats.. And about 7 dogs... They just show up and never leave... 😂😂😂🐕 But due to covid work stop all the builder went home.... We make sustainable coal and soap (you know lye from the ashes and rain water and olive oil etc... ) my goal is to start a brand of high quality products and environmentally safe.... But most of all my son.. He does not interact with other at all but with the animals he is happy and my daughter who apparently likes Becky because both have curly hair or you made harrira she doesn't understand much English but likes watching you guys and by the way she calls rayn smiley man. 😁 And back to the farm... We have a hill/mountain on our land so I m dreaming of make a hiking trail and a cafe at the top but that for another tiime... Sorry for this abnormally long comment it would have been better as an email... And like I said before if need help do not hesitate to ask snow camel out!!!! ❄️🐫⛄
Rick's Cafe Casablanca was not the backdrop fo the 1942 movie. The place was actually designed to recreate the bar made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the movie.
Tink you for this visite sory i dont speak good english
Thank you for watching!!
Salam aliekom✌🇲🇦
Salam! Thank you for watching!
You miss to have a massage at SPA Hammam of the Grand Mosque Hassan Second, and to visit Sindibad Natural Park.
That sounds really great- next time!
I believe 6 hours wasn't enough but u did well on it👍
You need a guide or someone to show you the places and how to get in it . Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco and there is a lot of beautiful places to visit.
Yes, we probably missed a lot!
@@BeckyandRyanTravel a looot hhh
there r 4 nice places to visit in casablanca , which are MOROCCO MALL , hassan2 mosque , united nations place and corniche aain diab , but u only visited the mosque and u didnt even enter into its area , and u also visited some dirty streets lol , anyway u can google these places i have told u and im sure u would like them
That is great info- thank you! The mosque was blocked off- we would have loved to see more but there were armed guards outside! It's definitely something we'd like to see again.
@@BeckyandRyanTravel welcome . And i advice u that u have to post a short video or just say that in the end of the video before going to any new city so ppl here will tell u places those u have to visit . So u'll get an idea about them beforehand :)
You should take the high speed train to Tangier
They are "Zone 2" so we can't get there right now but we hope to see it when the zone changes.
Hey guys u have to visit the north of the country
Welcom🙏

Morocco is characterized by several wonderful things such as wonderful food, such as couscous, pastilla, and tagine, and more wonderful food, and it also features dress such as the Moroccan caftan, jabdour, jellaba, takchita and more dress
