One of the oldest districts of the city, Bab Marrakech, adjoining the old medina of Casablanca, was actually created in the twentieth century. With a unique architecture and a special atmosphere, old traditional houses and charming small hotels dating from the time of the French protectorate, this district now hosts a colourful market combining local spices and fresh produce with wax fabric, cosmetics, plantains and snacks or dishes from all over sub-Saharan Africa. A shimmering mix of cultures to be discovered preferably in the morning, especially if you are looking for a good deal.
