Is Casablanca the romantic "Rick's Cafe" dream you’ve imagined? The reality of the Casablanca cruise port is surprising and unexpected!
In this video, we break down everything you need to know about docking at the Port of Casablanca. From the "old school" industrial posts to the brand-new terminal, we show you why you should NEVER "wing it" at this port. We explain the logistical challenges of getting into the city and why we ultimately chose a private tour to Rabat (Morocco's capital) instead of staying in Casablanca or taking the 6-hour round trip to Marrakesh.
Join us as we explore:
✅ Port Logistics: New Terminal vs. Post 36
✅ Why Marrakesh might be a mistake for cruisers
✅ Rabat Highlights: Mausoleum of Mohammed V, Chellah ruins, and the Kasbah Oudaya
✅ Insider Tips: The Habus Quarter and the best local bakery in Casablanca (Pâtisserie Bennis Habous)
Whether you want a DIY experience using the ship shuttle or a personalized private tour, this guide will help you navigate the chaos and find the "classic" Morocco you’re looking for.
