The Old Medina

The Old Medina

Casablanca's Old Medina, also known as Old Town or Ancienne Medina, is a maze-like quarter teeming with life and marked by buildings that harken back to the period before French rule, provides an authentic backdrop to the city. Vendors with carts offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, and spices, while quaint antiques shops and artisanal leather workshops line the constricted passageways. Amid the lively bargaining, outdoor cafes offer spaces for respite, serving both coffee and refreshing mint tea. The narrow lanes are hemmed in by tall, timeworn buildings, creating an evocative atmosphere. Here, locals go about their daily routines while visitors can shop for an array of traditional goods.
