The Habbous Quarter, also known as the Nouvelle Medina, is a charming district in Casablanca, Morocco, renowned for its blend of traditional Moroccan architecture and French colonial influence. Established during the French protectorate period in the 20th century, Habbous showcases narrow winding streets, vibrant souks (markets), and picturesque squares adorned with Moorish-style arcades and fountains. Its lively atmosphere offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Morocco, where visitors can explore artisan workshops, sample authentic Moroccan cuisine in quaint cafes, and browse through an array of handicrafts, textiles, and spices. Habbous stands as a testament to Casablanca's diverse history and remains a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike seeking an authentic Moroccan experience.
Once in Casablanca, visit the famous Hassan II Mosque in private exclusive access, which sits on the edge of the Atlantic Coast. This is the only mosque in Morocco that allows non-Muslims to enter and visit its impressive architecture and interior. It is the largest mosque in Morocco and the 13th largest in the world. A maximum of 105,000 worshippers can gather together for prayer: 25,000 inside the mosque hall and another 80,000 on the mosque’s outside grounds.

Here are some of Scensets's favorite restaurants in Marrakech. If you'd like a reservation for any of them, just let us know.
- Dar Yacout is a famous restaurant in Marrakech for good reason. The decor is enchanting with its private rooms and breath-taking panoramic view from the terrace overlooking the medina and the Koutoubia mosque of Marrakesh.
- NOMAD is known for its sleek sand-coloured sofas and black-and-white tiled tables. The menu is fearlessly modern, featuring eclectic twists on classics such as calamari marinated in cumin served with a dash of spicy harissa or saffron-scented date cake with salted caramel ice-cream.
- Le Jardin is a green-hued oasis with an overarching canopy of banana leaves, bamboo and palms. Order up a light Moroccan salad or club sandwich, accompanied by an orange and beet smoothie or a milky date shake.
- Plus61 serves up sophisticated Medi-Moroccan fusion cuisine, and is always a favorite. This is one of our top recommended locations!
- Gastro MK is famous for its fusion Euro-Moroccan cuisine and is one of the medina’s finest restaurants. As there are only 20 seats, pre-booking is essential and a deposit is required. As a nod to the owner's English background, you can also enjoy a full English Afternoon Tea here!
- La Maison Arabe set the benchmark for Marrakech fine dining and has hosted many notable guests. The menu is exclusively Moroccan, offering heartwarming classics such as tanjia alongside more inventive dishes like saffron-infused lamb chops.
- Chez Lamine Hadj is where it gets real. You come here for an authentic Marrakech experience of a famous local dish: the Tanjia. No reservation required.
Why we love it for you: The moment you step foot into La Mamounia you feel like a visiting dignitary, which is fitting since these grounds were once royal gardens used by Moroccan kings. It’s the type of place where you may recognize some celebrity faces as you lounge by the pool, but the real luxury is in the details—the breakfast staff who greets you each morning, or the plump dates left on your nightstand before bed.
