**🏨 Affordable Accommodation** For budget stays, consider hostels like the Casablanca Hostel near the city center, with dorm beds starting at 120 MAD per night. Hotels in the Derb Sultan area offer private rooms from 250 MAD. Booking in advance and staying outside the tourist hub can save you up to 30%. **🍽️ Eating Like a Local** Street food is your best friend: a bowl of harira soup costs 10 MAD, and a sandwich from a local stall runs 15-20 MAD. For sit-down meals, head to restaurants like La Sqala in the medina, where a full tagine is 50 MAD. Avoid the overpriced cafes on the Corniche. **🚌 Getting Around Cheaply** The Casablanca tramway is the most efficient budget option, with a single ride at 6 MAD. Buses cost 4 MAD but can be crowded. Taxis are affordable if you negotiate: a short ride within the city center should be 20-30 MAD. Avoid taxis near the train station as they overcharge. **🎫 Low-Cost Attractions** The Hassan II Mosque is a must-see; entrance for non-Muslims is 130 MAD, but the exterior and surrounding esplanade are free. The Old Medina and the Habous Quarter cost nothing to explore. The Museum of Moroccan Judaism has a 50 MAD entry fee and offers a fascinating glimpse into local history. **🆓 Free Things to Do** Stroll along the Corniche promenade for free ocean views and people-watching. Visit the Parc de la Ligue Arabe, the city's largest park, with no entrance fee. The Notre-Dame de Lourdes church is free to enter and features stunning stained glass windows. **💰 Money-Saving Tips** Locals shop at the Marché Central for fresh produce and seafood at half the price of tourist markets. Use the tramway's rechargeable card for discounted fares. Bargaining is expected in souks, so start at 50% of the asking price. Avoid exchanging money at airports; use banks in the city center for better rates. **🍺 Budget Nightlife** For a cheap drink, head to the Café Maure in the medina, where mint tea is 8 MAD. Bars in the Gauthier district offer happy hour deals on beer from 20 MAD. Avoid clubs with cover charges; instead, enjoy live music at Le Petit Rocher for a 30 MAD entry fee. **📅 Timing Your Visit** Visit during the shoulder seasons (March-May or September-November) for lower hotel rates and fewer crowds. Weekdays are cheaper than weekends for accommodation. Check local festivals like the Casablanca Jazz Festival in June, which often has free outdoor concerts.
