Flights to Casablanca from London Heathrow
Book bmi Flights to Casablanca, Morocco
Casablanca, Morocco as a whole is a study in contrasts, which is largely what makes it so fascinating to outsiders.
Although it's the largest city in Morocco, it has a surprisingly liberal and progressive culture. Its vibrant nightlife intensifies the effect. British Midland International (bmi) operates regular flights to Casablanca from London Heathrow (LHR).
While many parts of this bustling city of four million people date back several centuries, there's no mistaking the fact that this is a cosmopolitan and modern place. Several different cultures have called this strategically placed port city home through the years, which has helped to imbue it with an utterly distinct personality that you won't find anywhere else in the world.
Our flights to Casablanca are served by the bustling Mohammed V International Airport (CMN). The airport is rather far-flung from the city centre, but it's not an insurmountable distance by any means. You can either take a taxi straight into the city or you can hop on the train that heads towards the Casa Voyageurs station.
There's plenty to see and do in the city of Casablanca. If you only have time to visit one local attraction, make it the King Hassan II Mosque. This is a relatively new mosque, and it is open to non-Muslims.
The massive size of this mosque makes it difficult to miss; it is the third-largest one in the world. Its soaring minaret is actually the tallest one on the planet. Once you've experienced the mosque, head over to the Old Medina section of town. This walled part of the city retains its ancient ambiance and is a joy to explore on foot.
Throughout its history, Casablanca was heavily travelled due to its strategic location. Things are no different today; flights to Casablanca arrive regularly, so it's easy to find exceptional accommodations.
One prime example is the Novotel Casablanca City Center, which is a premier four-star hotel. This luxurious hotel features more than 200 well-appointed rooms and is exceptionally popular with discerning business travellers. Sumptuous restaurants are just one great reason to book a stay at this world-class hotel; its prime location in the Old Medina section of Casablanca is another.
Wherever your tastes and preferences may lie, Casablanca is well worth a visit. The unique fusion of modern and ancient sensibilities that characterizes this vibrant city is sure to win you over. From the Old Medina to the breath-taking King Hassan II mosque, there are surprises at every turn.
