Casablanca: Hollywood’s sweetheart

Morocco remains an underrated travel destination, but Casablanca entered the international zeitgeist during World War II. While under French colonization, Casablanca hosted meetings of top leaders of the Allied forces and fueled international interest in North Africa.

Popular films Casablanca (1942) and A Night in Casablanca (1946) captured the imaginations of the masses with a romanticized view of life in Morocco in the 1940s. These films portrayed Casablanca as an exotic and mysterious locale at a time when Hollywood was heavily involved in war propaganda. Your Moroccan vacation is the perfect opportunity to separate fact from fiction and see an authentic version of Casablanca.

If you hire a white taxi, it is private and only for you and your travel companions. Red taxis are more like ride-share cars and may pick up other passengers heading in the same direction.

In between prayer times, non-Muslims are welcome to tour the mosque, so long as they are dressed appropriately. Women are not required to cover their hair, however everyone needs to be covered from their knees to the elbows. Some sections of the mosque do not allow shoes, so wear easy-to-remove shoes and bring socks.

After touring the Hassan II Mosque, take a walk along the seaside promenade and admire it from a distance against the Atlantic Ocean.
