    Now that's a place to find more or less anything. Snake charmers, juice sellers, tuk tuks, horses, restaurants, rooftop parties, scammers, vendors, beggars, views, dance, music, laughter, poverty and many conflicting things in a 15 minute walk. That place is not only a place, it is an experience.

    There are mixed emotions about this place, and mostly that was because of 1 guy who decided who would be our guide, which I didn't understand at first. About the place. This is a huge market with lots of shops. You can buy here anything you need - 1 big stop shop. This market is behind high walls. There is a 5 minute walk to an old Medina as we were told. I would suggest visiting this place, but preferably with someone who knows the area and who is 100% trustable. The short story happened to us. At the gates before entering my husband and were discussing something about the place in English, said few words in Russian. 1 guy was passing by, and he asked what we were doing, said 2-3 words in Russian, and he spoke good English. He said he has a Shop in this bazar, and was going there, and till the shop he can wall us through and guide is toward old Medina (which was our original goal to see). So he started walking in the 2 steps in front of us, and would stop to wait for us, meanwhile was talking about the place and asking about us a bit. My husband got suspicious, I was trying to calm him by saying the guy is just going to his shop. I had an expensive phone in my hand. I was making some videos and taking some pictures. Farther we walked, shops disappeared, narrow streets started, some suspicious looking locals were sitting on the streets. When I say Narrow street that means 3-4 normal size people can fit if they line up. That's when I got scared. I instantly hid my phone, and took my older phone into my hands in case if we were about to get mugged, at least I was ready to say bye to my older phone. I started panicking. Now I started telling my husband to stop following the guy. We walked some more, we saw shops of another bazar or same bazar from another side. We were relieved. Then again, narrow streets, some locals standing, and our appeared to be guy said that this Old Medina started. It was just narrow streets with hanging from top baskets, lamps and something else. He said we can some pictures and we will go back which we did. So the way back was the same, but at least we knew he was ok guy, but we asked him to take us to shops. We wanted to go to a crowded place. He took us to some shop where they sell arogan oil, we didn't buy. We said our taxi was waiting, just take us back to the gates. He did. Thanks, Allah. He asked for money. We honestly didn't have any dirhams. We had some saved to taxi driver who was with us all day. We had agreed rate with him, and didn't have any spare. So my husband told him that he (the guy) volunteerly started giving us a guided tour we didn't ask for. We thought he was going to his shop. We said we have no money with us, and gave him $5 older looking bill. He seemed to be a little upset, but we just ran to our taxi. That French and Arabic and Zero English speaking taxi driver was the safest guy for us in Casablanca))) we were so happy to see him))))))) We didn't see the place I had in mind to see, but at that moment, whatever we saw was enough for us)))))) So please be very cautious when you go in or bring some whim you trust and know the place. I don't have much media coverage because I was scared most of the time, and photos and videos were taken on 3 different devices. I don't have pics of those narrow streets I was talking about. So here are some of them. Casablanca, Morocco πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦

    This was the market i had been looking for while sailing up the west coast of Africa. In some other reviews I've seen rather silly comments like "it was too busy and annoying" or "it smelled". It's a market. It's busy, can be loud, can be a wide assortment of smells. I spend the better part of a day and a couple hundred dollars here. Firstly, you must take care not to get lost. Old Medina is truly a maze. Secondly, if you do buy, you must haggle haggle haggle. If you accept the sticker price, you are being ripped off. I loved wandering the tight alleys, but i wouldn't suggest going alone.

    I regret having gone there because it left me with the wrong impression about Casablanca. The place is dirty, a lot of locals who try to persuade, very crowded. I’ve got pawed by the high/drunk guy even though I’m a male! Most probably because I’m blond. Then he tracked me and my friend everywhere until we escaped in taxi!! Think twice, there are better places in the city!!

    This was out first medina experience in Morocco and after comparing it with the medina's in other cities, I have to say this was a good enough place to walk around and enjoy the experience. There are 100s of shops selling similar items everything from clothing, shoes, small trinkets, counterfeit items, home goods, spices and much more. Tips: it's a labyrinth, theres no gps, you will get lost so just be mindful of where you came from and retrace your footsteps It can be get very hot walking through the small alleyways so visit in the evening Keep your belongings close. Phone not easily accessible in hand. Be prepared to be ripped off but that's a given There are ladies doing hair, henna and some other individuals outside the medina on the street. They will push you, grab your hand and follow you around. Just keep on moving.

    In the north of the city between the port and the seafront Hassan II Mosque, the Old Medina of Casablanca contains the last vestiges of pre-20th century Casablanca. Though the modern city sprawls in every direction, the historic quarter remains a maze of alleyways and a vast souk, tucked in by the remnants of ancient walls.

    Old market where locals goes to. Many shops inside for traditional dress, household things, and food. Very hard to find parking spot.

    Traditional Bazar. Nothing special. But when you are in Mohammed V Square, better to visit

    You can find here locals selling their things, especially if u wanna some gifts for your family back home. Don't expect to much English and always keep watch on your stuff.

    I’m not sure why anyone would visit here! It’s very low quality, tourist empty, unsafe area. Two person attacked us to take our phones. We are not white or blond otherwise the risk would be higher. Stay away from Casablanca and the market. There are more beautiful and safe places to visit in the world.

    Great feeling of the place. Nicely laid out with local stuff, and guess what, no aggression from the merchants. Plus, you can seal the experience by enjoying very fine Moroccan cuisine

    Came here on a Saturday morning and it was as lively as can be. A couple local cafes on the outside of the market provide a nice place to rest and watch the world goes by.

  • 4/5 Hayes W. 4 months ago on Google
    This is an interesting ancient market with all sorts of things on display in numerous stalls. It is not very clean and many handcrafts are probably imported. But nonetheless interesting.

  • 5/5 Marina W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to stroll and shop. From food to clothing you will find everything here. Locals and tourists shop here side by side. Really a recommendation with great prozes and values.

  • 2/5 My Tasty F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very busy market. Mostly local people. If you want to see the real local activities than you should visit this place. But if you are looking for historical place, probably this won't be the right place for you.

  • 4/5 Craig L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's an interesting place for sure, it's worth a visit and the place is pretty big, so you can easily get lost walking around the numerous alleys and side roads, I took a point off just because of the garbage everywhere, the streets are not very clean, just to much waste on the roads everywhere.

    A nice place !

  • 5/5 Mohamed I. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place full of wonderful, kind, respectful, and gentle people. The good thing for this place is, you can buy souvenirs to friends or your family with affordable price. But always remember, they need you to bargain all the time because they will give you you the highest price in the beginning so so do not buy anything from the first price. You can also try Tajeen, this is is the famous dish in there. Also keep in your mind that shops in bab Marrakech close at around 8 p.m. you can also visit Centre De Casablanca to see the ocean and the mall. But the most important thing in there is "Hassan II mosque"

  • 3/5 Mohamed A. 4 years ago on Google
    There is a lot of good products such as clothes, jackets, shoes, memories about Morocco and traditional food. The prices here is a bit expensive but you can decrease it more than the half! First time it was hard to me to stand there because they are talking a lot to the to tourists but then i just ignore them.

  • 5/5 Taouil K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's beautiful. But overcrowded, gives you hard time in driving, and the parking turns out so expensive
