The beach clubs come alive during the summer months, so expect crowds. Throughout the year, the bars and nightclubs are a draw. Casablanca can be quite hot year-round, though cool breezes come with the Canary Current off the Atlantic Ocean.

Sidi Aberrahman

Travelers can walk to the western tip of the Corniche, where on a rocky outcrop is the mausoleum and shrine of Sidi Aberrahman, the founder of the Thaalibiya (now Algiers); a man who is considered by most Moroccans to be a saint. A special and sacred place of Muslim pilgrimage, be sure to wear appropriate dress, and be careful about timing: the white dome-shaped burial tomb is accessible only at low tide.
