1. Casablanca Nightlife – Things to Do
Casablanca nightlife is only ranked second to Marrakech nightlife when it comes to major cities
in Morocco. Although not well documented, there are various things you can do when the sun
has sinks in the west.
Although the consumption of alcohol is prohibited by Islamic law, there are several bars in
Casablanca that you can visit when you are in the city. These bars line some of the major
streets in the city and can also be found in many of the international five star hotels. It is
important for women to note that not all bars will be accessible to them. There are several
bars that are restricted to men only. It is also wise for women to visit bars in various areas
accompanied by male companions. You will feel more comfortable when accompanied.
Bars in international five star hotels have no restrictions in terms of gender and receive a good
mix of both male and female clients. These up market bars are vibrant throughout the week.
If you are looking for more than just alcohol, you will find various nightclubs in Casablanca.
Some of these nightclubs will be restricted to men only. Others will restrict entry based on a
specific dress code for the evening. It is therefore a good idea to find out which type of nightclub
you will be attending and what restrictions there may be.
The nightclubs in international five star hotels are very vibrant. They receive a good mixture of
local and foreign clients all out to enjoy Casablanca nightlife. These nightclubs will also serve
alcohol.
If you are more interested in experiencing culture, you can attend some of the live music shows
in Casablanca. These shows feature local artists as well as international ones. You will find a
great variety of musical shows for your liking e.g. salsa bands, Latino bands, local Moroccan
artists amongst many others.
These live shows may be found in a wide variety of venues including restaurants such as the
Papagayo and cafes such as Rick’s Café. You will therefore be able to enjoy the music as well
as a delicious meal.
If you want even more culture, you can visit one of the local theatres. The local theatres host
productions, music festivals, and dance performances throughout the year. However, it is a
good idea to find out just what shows are on before attending. There are also attractive displays
at these theatres.
