The Hubous (Arabic: الحُبوس al-Hubous or حَي الأَحْباس Hay al-Aḥbās), or colloquially Habous, is one of the older neighborhoods of Casablanca, Morocco. Its development dates back to 1916, in the early stages of the French protectorate. The neighborhood is a cultural and religious center for Casablanca and for Morocco, as it hosts the Moroccan Ministry of Islamic Affairs as well as bookstores of important Moroccan and Arabic publishing houses.[1] The many traditional and historic buildings also make the Hubous a popular tourist destination.[1]
