Weather & Crowds in March
Transitional month with warming temperatures and occasional showers. Some of the best light of the year for photography.
Casablanca in March
The city starts to wake up. Café terraces fill up on sunny afternoons, the Habous gardens bloom, and daytime temperatures reach a comfortable 68°F. Ramadan may overlap with March in 2026 — if it does, expect restaurants to be closed during daylight hours but open late, and a unique atmosphere worth experiencing.
Events This Month
Date shifts annually — in 2026 it falls around late March. The entire city shuts down for 1–3 days and celebrations are spectacular: fireworks, family gatherings, and the most lavorious spread of Moroccan sweets you'll ever see. Plan around closures but don't avoid it — the festive atmosphere is a highlight.

$18 hostel dorm or cheap guesthouse in Old Medina, $15 food (harira + street sandwich + market meal), $5 local petit taxis, $10 Hassan II Mosque entry + 1 museum, $7 coffee and snacks

The ONCF train between Casablanca and Marrakech costs only 100–140 MAD ($10–14) in second class and takes about 2.5 hours — making it completely viable to stay in Casablanca (where flights land and hotels are cheaper) and do Marrakech as a day trip or overnight. Book trains at oncf.ma up to 30 days ahead; second class is perfectly comfortable with A/C. This alone can save $40–80 per night on accommodation compared to staying in Marrakech's medina during peak season.
Where to Stay
The most liveable, walkable neighborhood in the city — where educated Casablancans actually eat out and socialize. Boulevard Rachidi is lined with good restaurants and coffee shops. Stay here if you want to feel like a resident rather than a tourist; hotels run $60–120/night.
Busy, commercial, and packed with restaurants, patisseries, and boutiques. Slightly less polished than Gauthier but arguably more fun — better street food options and a great neighborhood market. Most hotels in this area run $50–100/night and are solid value.
The beach-facing strip where Casablanca's luxury hotels, beach clubs, and rooftop restaurants concentrate. Sofitel, Hyatt Regency, and Four Seasons Casablanca are all here or nearby. Great for an upscale coastal experience but isolated from the real city without a taxi or Uber.
Casablanca's original medina is small and manageable — nothing like Marrakech's labyrinth. Cheap guesthouses ($20–35/night), street food, and a glimpse of everyday commerce. The Sqala ramparts café here serves great mint tea. Less polished but completely walkable.
A French-planned 1930s medina that looks traditional but was built from scratch. Excellent for buying pastries, dates, and handicrafts at prices lower than Marrakech. Stay here in a riad-style guesthouse ($30–55/night) for atmosphere without the Marrakech tourist markups.
The downtown business district around Place des Nations Unies and Boulevard Mohammed V, lined with stunning Art Deco architecture. Convenient for transit connections and daytime sightseeing; quieter at night. Mid-range chain hotels ($70–130/night) are plentiful and practical.
