Casablanca

...is a whole lot of nothing. There is a big mosque, the 3rd largest in the world. That is all.

I found "Rick's Cafe" which was an overpriced name-sake of the gin-joint from the movie. I did not go in, just looked outside. It didn't resemble the movie version at all and was rather worn down, just like the rest of Casablanca. Most buildings were half-built and everything was rather bleary.





I was expecting it to have more charm, like the rest of Morocco, but awhile ago they had a large earthquake and rebuilt everything as quick as they could. This resulted in no character in the town.

It was a bit of a let down.

But they do have a lovely view of the sea.
