This Tour Exceeded Our Expectations
Abdul was a interesting, knowledgeable and personable guide into life in the Medina and its fascinating Habous community today as well as in the past. He was well prepared to answer our questions about Moroccan history, culture, government and society. We enjoyed our taste of almond cookies from Bennis Habous and mint tea at Cafe Imperial. It was wonderful to see glimpses of the royal palace, mansions of the rich in Anfa, and a spectacular view of the mosque on the Atlantic ocean. We learned so much and would highly recommend Abdul and this tour!

Nice City Tour Casablanca
Overall, it was a decent tour and a good way to learn more about Casablanca. I was a little disappointed that Rick’s Café was closed, as I was looking forward to seeing it. We also got to visit the Old Medina, which was interesting, but I wish we had been given at least 15 minutes to walk around and shop on our own. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the breakfast donuts, and our guide was kind enough to let us stop for coffee. Most importantly, I learned a lot about the history and culture of Casablanca, which made the tour worthwhile overall.

Definitely a Highlight!
Our guide Mohamed and driver Zacheria were wonderful...Mohamed shared such interesting information with us...Zachariah was polite and a good driver!

Great half day tour of Casablanca
This was a great tour, largely thanks to our guide Mohammed, who was knowledgeable, patient and helpful. There were five of us on the tour, including my wife and me, which is small enough that we got to know each other and had plenty of time to exchange stories. At five hours from start to finish it was excellent value for money. Neither was it too strenuous, being a mix of walking and driving between locations. We particularly enjoyed the pastry shop. Purchase is optional, but we would recommend you buy some. All of us arrived in Casablanca yesterday, so the visit to the rug store was too soon. The quality was good, but none of us could say if the prices were reasonable. In any case, this is the kind of purchase few would make on the spot spur of the moment.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Casablanca.
How much does Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Casablanca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Casablanca is not rushed.
Is Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 388 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Casablanca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop?
+
Around 136 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Casablanca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Casablanca and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Casablanca Highlights: Medina, Habous & Rick’s Café Photo Stop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Casablanca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Casablanca?
+
On Outty we rank every Casablanca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Casablanca Hassan II Mosque and City Highlights Tour, Casablanca Half-day Guided Tour with Hassan II mosque ticket, Private Guided Tour of Casablanca Including Mosque Entrance. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Casablanca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Casablanca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
