Casablanca Is Not What I Expected; Here’s Why Everyone Should Visit


There are many reasons to visit Casablanca. Many come for religious reasons, others for the beaches, and of course, some feel the romantic pull of the movie Casablanca, and want to see the town for themselves (even though the film was actually shot in the U.S.).

Located in western Morocco on the Atlantic Ocean, Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco and is considered its economic and business center. The city is a mix of modern cosmopolitan buildings and old historic downtown.

As we planned the trip, we looked at cruises that had ports of call in Casablanca. We were excited to see another country and continent. Read the full travel article here.
