The kingdom's economic engine, Casablanca lines up Art Deco façades, the Hassan II mosque set on the water and a lively corniche. A city that works hard and stays out late.

A little history

Ancient Anfa became Casablanca under the Portuguese, then Morocco's great economic gateway in the 20th century. The city invented a unique Moorish Art Deco and crowned its seafront with the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest in the world.
