Cheap Flights to Casablanca (CAS) from UK Airports

The city is distinct with its old and new districts but it is lively and promises a unique holiday experience

Casablanca is a lively city filled with pedestrians and tourists making their way through the streets, while vendors attempt to sell to anyone they can. A Casablanca destination can be a little crowded and slightly busy but the city makes up for this with its revered landmarks and spectacular architecture. Walking the streets of Casablanca is like walking through a period of history.

Making Casablanca your destination means a visit to Notre Dame. It’s generally not hectic, which allows for extra time to check out the beautiful mosaics. Another site worth visiting is The Mosque of Hassan II, which lays claims to being the largest mosque in Africa. It’s not old or ancient but it is significant in that its doors are open to everyone, including non-Muslims. The beautiful architecture is definitely worth a look.

A visit in July will have you there in time for the annual Casablanca Festival. This is by far the city’s most significant cultural event where it is a celebration of all things Moroccan, including food, dance, music and art.

Catching flights to Casablanca in March means you will be around for the city’s annual Faith Mouharam, which is also known as the Islamic New Year. This festival is celebrated across the entire country but note to those seeking a little celebratory bubbly. You may have to bring your own, as alcohol is generally not available on this day.
