Casablanca

The next day, we traveled north to Casablanca by train. With affordable prices, we decided to book first-class tickets, which made the three-hour ride comfortable and relaxing. Once we arrived in Casablanca, we used public transportation to reach our hotel, where we settled in before heading out for a walk.

To be honest, we weren’t very impressed with the city. It felt unkempt, with many areas in need of care, and the European influence was much more apparent here compared to Marrakesh. The city lacked the charm we had experienced elsewhere.

Our second day in Casablanca was mainly spent visiting the Hassan II Mosque, an architectural marvel and the third-largest mosque in the world. It’s also the only mosque in Morocco that non-Muslims are allowed to visit. The sheer scale and detail of the mosque were impressive, especially its location by the sea.

Overall, our time in Casablanca was much slower compared to the rest of the trip, but it provided a moment of rest. We took the train back to Marrakesh in the afternoon, where we caught our flight the next day. It was a successful and memorable journey.Read more
