Things to do in Casablanca, Grand Casablanca Region: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
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.

This stately mosque, a fine example of pure Moroccan architecture, is the only one in the city that non-Muslims may visit.

Although the ticket is a bit expensive and you must follow the visit schedule tightly, it is worth visiting as the indoor design is beautiful and attractive and the guided tour provides useful information. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee, you can also take nice pictures in the square, which is also impressive.

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.
