You'll start your bike tour of Casablanca on one of the main avenues of the city, Mohammed V Avenue, before heading to an older district, the Central Market. This traditional Moroccan souk sells a wide variety of fresh produce, traditional handicrafts, and street food. Ride on to the United Nations Square, where a statue of a globe sits in the middle of the plaza, symbolizing this city's long and international history of commerce and diplomacy. After cycling through the Old Medina on this day tour, you'll make a stop at Sqala, a former Portuguese fortress built in the 16th century. Your city tour will then cruise along the Casablanca Marina.
The next stop on your day tour is one of the most iconic monuments of sightseeing in Casablanca: Hassan II Mosque. This spectacular structure is one of the largest mosques in the world and an architectural masterpiece that combines traditional Moroccan design with modern elements. Cycling along the Corniche, you'll see El Hank Lighthouse appear in the distance. This lighthouse dates back to the early 20th century, remains the tallest in the country and is still operational today. For a taste of Casablanca's contemporary flair, your bike tour will take a stop at Anfa Place Mall. Continue your day tour along the Ain Diab Corniche coastal road until you pass over a small bridge onto Sidi Abderrahman island, home to a mausoleum for the saint who lived as a hermit and performed many miracles during his life.
Moving on from this place of pilgrimage, you'll stop at Morocco Mall before climbing Anfa Hill. Your guided tour will also make a stop at Villa des Arts, a cultural center with a peaceful garden. Your bicycle tour's next stop is the Notre Dame de Lourdes Church, an elegant example of Gothic Revival architecture. Pedal on to Parc Murdoch before your guide leads you through the district of Habous. You’ll then ride on to the Royal Palace, where you'll have the opportunity to explore its impressive gardens and learn about the long history of royalty in Morocco, and the Alawi dynasty who rule today. Your day tour will stop at the Liberty Building, a striking feat of modern architecture and the first ever skyscraper to be built on the African continent.
Cycle to Mers Sultan Avenue, where you'll experience the effervescent energy of local life, before switching to a more leisurely pace as you cruise through the Arab League Park. Your city tour will make a stop at the Sacred Heart Cathedral to take in this impressive neo-gothic construction, followed by the Nevada Skatepark, and a stop in the Mohammed V Square. Finally, your guided tour will conclude with a ride down Prince Moulay Abdellah Street, a busy commercial street lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants.
