Location
✨ Location
Quartier Habous is located in the southern part of Casablanca, easily accessible by taxi or public transportation. It's about a 15-minute drive from the city center and well worth the short journey.
✨ Bargaining
Haggling is a common practice in the souks, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices.
✨ Dress Modestly
While Casablanca is relatively liberal, it's respectful to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites.
⭐ Phone Snatchers
Habous is a beautiful but watchful area. Phone snatchers on motorcycles often target tourists, grabbing phones quickly and escaping. Stay alert, keep your phone secure, and avoid using it in busy spots. Other than this, you’re unlikely to face any issues.
