Things to do in Casablanca, Grand Casablanca Region: The Best Architectural Buildings
Today Casablanca is a large, modern city, but the former French colonial post still allows myriad movie moments for those who want to revisit love in the medina and Old City. Casa (as locals call it) isn’t too touristy, but it’s the most cosmopolitan and Western-feeling city in Morocco. Visit The King Hassan II Mosque and Casa's Medina.

You can see this shrine near the Casa Post Station. For a long time the patron saint of Casablanca was Sidi el Kairouani. Then since the second last century Sidi Balyout was given this status and this district was named after him. The current Koubba or tomb was built in 1881. As with all other holy men this saint also has an interesting legend. It is believed that he was a shepherd who had a pet lion which guarded him and his sheep. Hence, he was called Abou Louyout or the father of lions. People believe that he had a strange influence on the wild beast and thus protected the city. He is also believed to have been gifted by ubiquity by Allah so he could be seen at different places at the same time. People of Casablanca believe that drinking from the fountain near this shrine has miraculous results.

One if three stations in Casablanca, a short walk from the Old Medina & a number of major chain hotels. A regular service to the airport, about one hour, runs from here.
