El Jadida, Cassablanca, Rabat

On to ElJadida with it's intact Portuguese fort, then Casablanca with it's gigantic Moschee costing many millions and built with Voluntary "Donations" from the whole country (even non-moslems were "allowed" to donate) all with help from the tax office that knocked on each door😅
Of course when you say Casablanca you mean the film, so we watched the film and then visited the reconstructed bar with Humphrey Bogart hanging on the walls.
Rabat, the capital, seems the cleanest city in Marocco😅 maybe that's got to do with the king having his palace here🤣
(I heard he was asking why the world always smells of "fresh paint" when he comes to a new place).
What a challenge for a King to really understand the country he is governing. While 3/4 of the country is battling with "everyday" survival, Casablanca is building the largest football stadium in the world and Rabat has built a multi billion opera house designed by "Dame Zaha Hadid" It's been completed for 5 years now, but with exception of a dinner for Emmanuel Macron, still has not been opened up to the public. When we drove past by, security chased us away saying it could only be photographed after having officially been opened!Read more
