Traditional Sweet Dishes
Chebakia
Chebakia is a sesame-studded pastry twisted into a rose shape, fried and drenched in honey, and it is traditionally made in large batches for Ramadan because it keeps well and symbolizes generosity.
M'hancha
M'hancha, meaning 'the female snake', is a coiled almond-paste pastry that looks like a golden spiral, and it is often served at weddings and other special celebrations.
Ghriba
Ghriba cookies are famous for their cracked tops and melt-in-your-mouth crumbly texture, a sign they were baked to perfect tenderness and sometimes flavored with almonds or coconut.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Tagine
The tagine's conical lid captures steam and returns the flavorful juices to the dish, allowing tough cuts of meat and root vegetables to become tender without much added liquid.
Couscous
Couscous is traditionally steamed multiple times until the grains are light and fluffy, and serving it on Friday makes it the centerpiece of family gatherings across Casablanca.
Pastilla
Pastilla combines crisp, paper-thin pastry with a surprising sweet-and-savory filling of spiced meat and almonds, dusted with sugar and cinnamon, a showpiece at Moroccan weddings.
Traditional Beverages
Mint tea
Moroccan mint tea is poured from a height to create a froth and cool the brew, it is served very sweet and stands as a symbol of hospitality and friendship.
Lben
Lben is a tangy, cultured buttermilk traditionally churned from fermented milk, prized in Casablanca for cooling summer days and aiding digestion.
Coffee
Although mint tea rules hospitality, Casablanca's coffee culture blends Arabic spiced brews and French-style espresso, making cafés lively social hubs.

Not as romantic as movies, lots of construction and persistent touts near tourist spots, felt more like a busy port city.
Skip the seafood stalls right by Hassan II Mosque, walk two blocks inland to find the same fish at half the price and friendlier vendors.
Some museums offer free entry on certain days, and CTM buses to Rabat or Chefchaouen are cheaper from the main station if you book a day ahead.
Weather was humid in July, restaurants on the Corniche are pricey, but the Atlantic sunsets almost made it worth it.
Got lost in the medina for hours but loved the street food and mint tea, plan 2 full days to hit the main spots.
