Where to stay: That's easy, riads. They're traditional houses set around beautifully decorated and remarkably symmetrical courtyards. For a budget option, this palmed paradise should do the trick. For something more regal, try these Princess Jasmine-worthy rooms. 

What to do: A visit to Hassan Mosque has to be top of your list. It's the largest of its kind in all of Africa, and the intricate architecture overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is simply stunning. Visits for non-Muslims are held daily, just remember to wear modest clothing. 

What to eat: Thanks to its coastal connection, Casablanca's fishy take on a traditional Moroccan tajine is something you just have to try! Swing by Rick's Café for the best of the best, as well as a healthy top-up on Hollywood memorabilia.
