Portray of the Destination
Located in the heart of Maroc Utile (the country's most fertile zone), Casablanca serves as the economic and trade center of Morocco due to  its important port and industry.

Throughout its history, Casablanca was occupied by different peoples. Nearly the 7th C, the Muslim conquered this area. In the early 15th century, it became a safe harbor for pirates; thus the Portuguese took control over the region and remained there until 1755, when an earthquake almost destroyed the entire town. Some centuries before that, at the beginning of the 20th C, the French established a protectorate over Morocco, which lasted until 1956. In said year, Morocco obtained independence from France. All these cultures mixed and resulted in the current appearance of this wonderful city.

Like any metropolis, Casablanca presents a hectic modern life and is well connected through public transport. Nowadays, the city is developing tourism industry. Therefore, you will be able to find a wide variety of offers regarding accommodation, tourist attractions, and leisure.
