As you approach Casablanca from the airport, you realise how white the city is. I was used to seeing white towns in Spain, but somehow not such a large town as Casablanca.
I'd already learned from others on VT not to expect much to see, but my husband though it was a MUST. In general it is a modern town with big buildings, busy roads, but not much to offer.
Our main interest was to see the Mosque of Hassan II, the third largest after those of Mecca and Medina. It was built in 20th century and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.
[See Tips] |
|  | Casablanca is on the Atlantic and from the courtyard of Hassan II mosque, the breakers can be seen rolling ashore. In the distance can be seen the lighthouse and part of the town. |
| | Streets are arboured. This one has ficus trees. |

Hi! lovely pictures and tips about Casablanca.It always stayed in my mind after seeing the movie long ago.Getting lost in a suq is my idea of heaven. That mosque is very impressive-and huge! Thanks | easterntrekker Sun Sep 14, 2008 19:22 UTC

Good information, especially the petit taxi tip!! I'm suprised there is not more to see, but the mosque is impressive! | evaanna Mon Mar 5, 2007 19:50 UTC
The mosque is most imposing. I've never been to a suq - I'm sure I'd find it interesting. Thank you for a most interesting virtual tour. Your pictures are just great. |
