Three hours on the motorway and Casablanca changes everything: Art Deco blocks, wide boulevards, port activity and an urban rhythm remind you that you're entering the country's most populous city. The Atlantic frontage has nothing in common with the Marrakech medina.
The Hassan II Mosque, built partly over the ocean, is the highlight: a massive silhouette and a minaret two hundred and ten metres tall, seen from the outside, with entry inside possible outside prayer times. Then come Place Mohammed V and its administrative buildings, followed by the Habous quarter, a modern medina from the 1920s, pleasant for wandering among pastry shops, bookshops and craftsmen.
