Casablanca, founded in the 7th century and later developed by the French in the early 20th century, is Morocco's economic capital and largest city. Known for its cosmopolitan vibe, it stands out with its wide boulevards, art-deco buildings, and modern infrastructure. The city is often referred to as the "White City" for its distinctive whitewashed buildings that gleam under the Atlantic sun.
The city is divided into two main areas: the bustling Ville Nouvelle (New Town), with its European-style architecture and modern amenities, and the historic Old Medina, where you can wander through traditional souks and experience the city's older, more authentic side. Casablanca is also home to the iconic Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, which sits dramatically on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
As a major transportation hub, Casablanca is the perfect starting point for exploring Morocco, whether you're heading to the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert, or the imperial cities of Fes and Marrakech.
"Casablanca is where the pulse of modern Morocco beats strongest – a city of light, energy, and endless discovery."
