Casablanca Travel Guide: 591 reviews and 1,256 photos
There is not much to visit in Casablanca which is a most modern town, the economic capital of Morocco, Rabat beeing it's political capital. The ''guide du Routard'', the best guide for Morocco, writes that it is the only town in the world that has kept such a large core of 1930 buildings, while everywhere else, including in Paris, most have been demolished for new buildings. At one of the entrance of the town, a huge and massive glass building, with OCP written, catch the eye. OCP is for ''Office Chérifien des Phosphates''. It points out the main importance that phosphates have in Moroccan economy.
The only monument that is worth the visit is the Mosque Hassan II

To see on your page, I thought to the movie named Casablanca. How much the ciy changed since that time!
mais les villes modernes sont très agréables aussi !
Lovely pages. Its been so long since I've been...definitely before VT.
Appears to be the mosque that walks on water! Massive, indeed - would like to see this one! Grazie, JL
Jean-Louis, What, no photos of the airport or Rick's Americain in Casablanca. lol Larry
Thanks a lot for all of your information! It's helpful for my trip!
Good information and photos of the mosque, Jean-Louis. There is a mosque in Mumbai (Haj Ali Mosque) That is also built to look as though it is floating in the sea. Very picturesque.
Famous city in Morocco
You certainly give a great overview of this great mosque. We did go inside; though it was poorly lit to take good pictures I did take a few.
oh it is very very beautiful, and huge
