Casablanca, Morocco

: The most cosmopolitan of Morocco’s cities.
The biggest city in Morocco – and with chic bars and a wide choice of stylish restaurants – Casablanca sometimes has a southern European feel. The Old Medina is small, but the crowded streets and tiny, overcrowded shops are worth exploring. The art-deco Ville Nouvelle – a legacy from France – is very attractive: look for the enchanting Rialto Cinema. Equally fascinating is the Jewish Museum, the only one of its kind in the Islamic world. It has excellent displays showing Morocco’s ancient synagogues, cemeteries and other Jewish landmarks.
Dominating the whole city is the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque. Built on a rocky outcrop of reclaimed land, it can accommodate over 25,000 worshippers inside – and another 80,000 in the courtyard. The 210m minaret is the tallest in the world: from the top a laser beam points the way to Mecca at night. Guided tours can be made of the vast interior, with its glass floor and marble walls.
