Ain Diab

Casablanca Atlantic Ocean Morocco

Ain Diab is Casablanca's beach playground—a 3-kilometre stretch of coastline where the economic capital meets the Atlantic. The Corniche boulevard runs parallel to the shore, lined with beach clubs, restaurants, and nightclubs. At the northern end, the Hassan II Mosque rises dramatically from a promontory over the ocean, its minaret the tallest in the world at 210 metres. The beaches are more urban recreation than pristine retreat.
