The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the ride
Bring a full water bottle and refill where available—Casablanca can be hot and dry near the coast, especially midday.
Wear a helmet and visible clothing
A well-fitted helmet and high-visibility top improve safety on busy boulevards and at intersections.
Plan for market crowds
Expect pedestrian congestion around Marché Central—slow down and follow your guide through tight stretches.
Time rides to avoid heat
Aim for morning or late afternoon departures to dodge the strongest sun and busiest traffic.

Conservation Note
Urban coastal development and tourism create pressure on shoreline habitats and public spaces—respect local waste rules, avoid single-use plastics, and stay on designated paths.
Casablanca grew into a major Atlantic port and was reshaped under French colonial planning in the early 20th century; the Hassan II Mosque (completed in 1993) is a modern cultural landmark on the reclaimed shoreline.
