Casablanca is one of the most bypassed cities of Morocco. Most of tourists just use Casablanca as a connection hub. BUT it is worth visiting for a day or 2 to experience Morocco’s modern lifestyle and what a typical Northern African metropolitan city looks like.
Ironically, “Casablanca” was filmed in Water Brothers Studios in California. If you wish to live the legacy of the movie, there is no better location in Casablanca than “Rick’s Cafe” with its Art Deco, roulette table and grand piano.
