Casablanca

Casablanca grew from a small trading post to one of Africa’s largest cities and was immortalised by Bogart and Bergman’s romance and the line “play it again Sam”. The French constructed an artificial harbour, at the beginning of the twentieth century, changing Casablanca for ever.

The population tripled in ten years of the harbour’s construction, attracting traders and explorers alike. Casablanca is a modern bustling city, with skyscrapers nestling alongside art deco buildings. Casablanca’s large port is the life of the city witch also boasts many fine hotels and shops.

The Grande Mosque Hassan II is one of the World’s most amazing building, built in the 1980’s at a reputed cost of two billion US dollars. Constructed by 20,000 Moroccan craftsmen, it has successfully blended traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Built under the control of the French architect Michel Pinseau, the mosque boasts; a 200 metre minaret, heated marble floor, electrically lowed chandeliers and enough space to receive 25,000 people for prayer.
