Where to stay in Habous
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Habous suits travellers who want a walkable, market-grained base inside Casablanca rather than a tower on the boulevards. The quarter is compact. Its arcaded lanes fold in around a handful of anchors, so a room near the Abderrahman Slaoui Museum or within reach of the Villa des Arts de Casablanca puts the shops, the mosque courtyards, and the covered stalls a short stroll from your door.
Stay here for texture, not for size.

About Habous
What are the main landmarks in Habous?
Habous packs several named sights into a small, arcaded footprint. The Abderrahman Slaoui Museum anchors it. Its rooms sit close to the Villa des Arts de Casablanca and the Complexe Al Amal, while the Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Church and the Torre de Anifee mark the quarter's edges and give walks through the lanes a clear set of points to steer by.
The scale stays intimate.
What is the history of Habous?
Habous grew as a designed Moroccan-style quarter within the wider spread of Casablanca. The plan was deliberate. Rather than a random tangle of streets, the lanes were laid out around arcaded shopfronts, courtyards, and covered markets, a fabric that later gathered institutions such as the Abderrahman Slaoui Museum and the Villa des Arts de Casablanca among its walls.
The market trade held. Habous has carried that arcaded, workshop-lined character, alongside markers like the Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Church, through the growth of the city around it.
Where is Habous?
Habous occupies a compact, subtropical pocket of Casablanca, its arcaded lanes and covered markets folded in tightly around anchors like the Complexe Al Amal and the Torre de Anifee.
