Morocco's economic capital spreads along the Atlantic coast, its skyline a collision of white Art Deco facades and contemporary glass towers. The Corniche stretches west toward Aïn Diab, where beach clubs and seaside terraces face the ocean. Inland, the Habous quarter offers a 1930s interpretation of traditional medina architecture, its arcaded streets lined with olive merchants and pastry shops selling cornes de gazelle.
The city's accommodation scene reflects this architectural duality. Downtown properties occupy restored colonial buildings near Place Mohammed V, while the Anfa district draws those seeking residential calm and proximity to the Morocco Mall. The old medina, compact and less touristed than Marrakech's, rewards early morning walks through its fabric souks and spice stalls. Evening dining gravitates toward the Gauthier neighborhood, where French-Moroccan tables serve updated tagines alongside Atlantic seafood.
