Casablanca City Guide

Economic capital in the prodigious development, international metropolis the development of which is inseparable of the harbour activity, Casablanca dresses a major importance for the business world today. Trading town and industrial city, Casablanca takes its true spiritual dimension with the mosque Hassan II, one of the most beautiful to the world today.

The last fleuron of the most modern city of the Realm, the Big Mosque Hassan II raises itself, majestic, between sky and sea. A divine nef, with a room of prayer of a volume of 25.000 believers and an esplanade of 80.000. This religious jewel establishes doubtless a subtle mixture of the Moroccan traditional architecture and the most sophisticated technology.


From the XII ème century, the historians had spoken about Anfa’s port, no attraction of all the neighbouring regions: Chaouia, Rehamnas, Tadla.

Anfa them got in touch with Europe and allowed them to export the excess of their production of cereal, wool, skins, wax of bee and oil. In the modern time, while keeping some recollections (general stores, souks, ramparts hiding the ancient Medina, the mosques, marabouts, of whom that of Sidi Abderrahman, the most frequented sanctuary), Casablanca is just like a whole Realm which advances in big steps on the road of the progress and the modernism.
