About Casablanca

As you make your way down the coast from Tangier to Casablanca, you’ll notice the antiquated old-world charm gives way to a modern metropolis. Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and the economic hub of the country. It is on the northern Atlantic coast and home to more than three million people.

Casablanca: Morocco’s melting pot

Casablanca reflects a mix of the regions of Morocco as well as the country’s international influences under Portuguese and French colonization. One clear example of this is in Casablanca’s cuisine, which mixes elements from home and abroad. The markets are full of fresh fish, oysters, and crabs, but as people immigrate from all over Morocco, they’ve mixed inland cuisine with a coastal twist. While in Casablanca, order a Moroccan seafood dish or venture into a restaurant serving fusions of French and Sub-Saharan cuisine.
