Casablanca - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
Yes, it's very safe. We let our middle-school kids ride their bikes on their own along the corniche, which is a long path/route along the beach that goes for roughly 9k one-way. There are local running groups that run early in the morning (6 a.m.) and it's very safe to run with tons of people running at this time. Cycling is a bit harder on the road unless you start early on the weekends and finish before 10 a.m., however it is better than at other posts we've served. Hiking is not near the city as the mountains are at least 3 hours away but you can organize climbing Toubkal with a guide, and you can also go out to the Bouskoura Forest (30 minutes from Casablanca) for walks or cycling in the woods. - Mar 2026
