Le Zenith Hotel

Alternative to the Hotel

by Dizzydean about Casa Sweet Home

When in Casablanca Morocco staying at a big hotel can cost around $120 up. But for around $75 pn you can rent a studio apartment through CasaSweetHome.com. There are several locations to choose from. I recommend the Mariff Due to the local muslim customs, the major hotels do not allow female visitors. Therefore the freedom for local visitors to come to your residence as you please. Also, you are in the midst and living in amongst the locals and you are not hassled by the many beggers that prey upon guests at the major hotels. Easy access to shopping, cafes, markets, etc.

Within easy walking to the twin center complex, you will appreciate the charm of this very sunny apartment, combining tradition and modernity perfectly. within a pleasant framework, you will find all that it is necessary to feel you as on your premise also visit other apartments on the www.Casasweethome.com

Pizza by the sea ...

by shrimp56 about Le Jardin Restaurant/Pizzeria

It's pretty amazing that you can find pizza almost anywhere in the world. I've eaten it is Macedonia and Cambodia -- and it is obviously available in Casablanca, Morocco.

Notre Dam in Casablanca

by maxovna

Here in Africa page I can't but mention the strangest construction I've ever seen. It's the catholic church Notre Dam in Casablanca, Morocco. I mean that the shape of this building does not correspond to my usual idea of how a catholic church should look like. In Moscow some factories and plants look like that. The church is erected in modern style, the interior decorations are not finished yet.

From left to right, Iain, Ayuri and Hiroyuki.

It was really nice meeting you, Iain!
We met at Rick's Cafe, which is named after the famous movie "Casablanca" :-)
Our meeting time was 20:00... but I'm sorry we got lost in the ancient medina and we were late! Thanks for waiting for us :-)
It was our first night in Morocco and it was Iain's last night bofore his departure next morning. We could hear his Morocco travel stories...which were really interesting.
In the cafe, they served olives...Iain said he had eaten a lot of pickled olives in Morocco. Oh,yes! After that night, we ate olives every day!
We had a great time with you! You and we are back to work after holidays in Morocco... but we hope to come back to Morocco someday in the near future!
Thank you so much for meeting us. :-)
It was really nice meeting you!
Hope to see you again ... :-)

C A S A B L A N C A, Toursit trap or not?

by Doctor38

The city could be a gigantic tourist trap. Visiting Casablanca is a must for many travellers who come to Morocco just because the city has biggest airport in the country. There are certainly better places in Morocco to spend your time and you can do that at a fraction of the cost with very little hassle, traffic and pollution. However there are things you can do in and around Casablanca for those of us who have no choice but to stay in the city.

so if you happen to be in the city, don't panic. You can still do and see few "Moroccan" things in the city. I tried to bring that out in my page.These things are not very obvious in a city dominated by the the fact that Casablanca is the economical hub of Morocco.

On the brighter side after you see the Casablanca, Morocco only gets more interesting :-))
