though still much more rooted in the islamic tradition than for example Turkey's big cities Casablanca is very different from the rest of the country (like for example the imperial cities Fez and Marrakesh let alone the villages in the high atlas). it's a melting pot of old and new; here you'll find people living a life like we know it from home, "western lifestyle and civilization" with all its pros and cons, in the very same streets however there are those who try to maintain the heritage of a thousand-year old culture. Casablanca may not have the charm of those destinations that are promoted by the travel agencies but for someone who wants to understand what this country and people is experiencing right now in social and cultural respects this is the right place to go.
