City center / Corniche orientation. Use tram for central moves and rideshare/taxi for spread-out stops.
- Airport: Train/taxi options depend on timing; use official taxis or trusted app/rideshare where available.
- Tram: Useful for central Casablanca and Habous-adjacent access.
- Petit taxis: Agree meter or price before the ride; small city taxis do not leave city limits.
- Cash: Carry MAD for taxis, markets, tea, tips, and small shops.
- Water: Buy bottled water early.
eSIM is the clean move. Use Airalo Morocco so maps, tram routes, and rideshare work before you leave the airport.
