C A S A B L A N C A, Toursit trap or not?

by Doctor38 - last update: Jun 24, 2008

The city could be a gigantic tourist trap. Visiting Casablanca is a must for many travellers who come to Morocco just because the city has biggest airport in the country. There are certainly better places in Morocco to spend your time and you can do that at a fraction of the cost with very little hassle, traffic and pollution. However there are things you can do in and around Casablanca for those of us who have no choice but to stay in the city.

so if you happen to be in the city, don't panic. You can still do and see few "Moroccan" things in the city. I tried to bring that out in my page.These things are not very obvious in a city dominated by the the fact that Casablanca is the economical hub of Morocco.

On the brighter side after you see the Casablanca, Morocco only gets more interesting :-))

 I wish I'd seen this page before visiting Casa Blanca, but then we had so little time. BTW Teen-shouky is the fruit of thre Prickly Pear Cactus. The small thorns are quite dangerous and can cause blindness.

 Excellent Casablanca page complete with plenty of lovely photographs. Al-Hoodos and Old Medina sound interesting to visit and explore. Hassan II Mosque certainly looks great to visit especially its interior. ~ho & pang

 I'm also really glad that they were able to preserve the old Lincoln hotel. My own city is tearing down old and potentially very interesting buildings and replacing them with really ugly buildings.
