Medina & Corniche in Casablanca — FAQ

Does Casablanca have a medina?

What is the Corniche in Casablanca?
The Corniche is Casablanca’s seafront promenade in the Ain Diab district, lined with beaches, pools, cafés and restaurants — a popular place for a stroll and sunset by the Atlantic.
Is the Casablanca medina worth visiting?
