A Mohammedia day trip from Casablanca brings you to an Atlantic coastal city in Morocco’s Casablanca-Settat region, between Casablanca and Rabat. Its beaches, green spaces and historic Kasbah give you options for a day focused on the coast or a mix of seaside and town sights.
- Setting: Atlantic coast, between Casablanca and Rabat.
- Beach range: Several named beaches extend along the coast.
- Town sights: Mohammed V Park, the Kasbah and an Art Deco-style center.
- Getting around: Casa Voyageurs is the Casablanca station named in ONCF’s timetable; check current train details before setting out.
Getting from Casablanca to Mohammedia
Train is a possible way to travel from Casablanca to Mohammedia, but check the current ONCF timetable before choosing a departure. The available timetable information does not establish a complete current schedule, ticket fare or bus service timetable and fare, so confirm transport details directly with the operator rather than relying on an isolated departure time.
ONCF labels the Casablanca station as Casa Voyageurs and the Mohammedia stop as Mohammadia. If your wider trip includes the capital, the Casablanca to Rabat train journey is another rail route to plan separately.
Planning time by the coast
Mohammedia’s coastline offers enough variety to make the beach your main focus, with more than 10 km of Atlantic shore and several named stretches. The regional tourism site names La Siesta, Manesmanes, Sablettes, Monica and Miramar among the beaches; other coastal names include Yasmine, Mannesmann Center, Ouled Hamimoun, Grand Zenata, Minor Zenata and Paloma.
Miramar Beach is 1.3 km from Mohammedia city center and 24.8 km from Casablanca. Miramar is an Atlantic beach with beach activities and seaside restaurants.
For a change of scenery, the city has more than 630 hectares of forest planted with eucalyptus, pine, wild olive and samphire. The regional tourism site also highlights Mohammed V Park, the Kasbah and the Royal Mohammedia Golf Club. The city’s attractions include gardens, parks and forests as well as an Art Deco-style center and a traditional-style Kasbah.
Mohammedia was called Fedala until June 25, 1960, when it was renamed in tribute to King Mohammed V. Its Kasbah dates to 1768.
Three-star rooms in Casablanca are available at Hotel Bellerive.
What to check before visiting beaches
Beach conditions and access can vary, so check the official regional tourism site before you go for current beach information. A regional tourism page identifies Monica Beach as popular with surfers and advises caution there; follow local guidance when deciding where to swim or spend time in the water.
Mohammedia also has a yacht club and a nautical base at the port, where the Afsan club offers catamaran activities and sailing instruction. Confirm directly with the relevant club before planning around an activity.
A simple day-trip schedule
A flexible day plan can pair a coastal stop with a walk through the town, without assuming a fixed visit duration. Start by choosing a beach from the coastal options, then leave time for a seaside meal or a walk along the shore. Miramar is one beach associated with seaside restaurants and beach activities.
After the coast, shift inland for Mohammed V Park or a walk through the Art Deco-style center. Add the Kasbah if it fits your plans, or choose a forest visit for a greener stretch of the day.
The regional tourism site does not give visitor hours or admission fees for the park or Kasbah, so confirm arrangements before you go.
There is no official recommended duration for a Mohammedia day trip. Build your schedule around the transport you confirm, the beach you select and the town sights you want to include.
