Casablanca: Summer in Morocco’s Most Vibrant City
If you’ve already been to Marrakech and are keen to explore another Moroccan city or simply prefer visiting places where you can feel like a local rather than a tourist, put Casablanca at the top of your “to go” list. The most modern – and largest – city in the country, Casablanca (the White City or Casa as the residents call it) has an energizing buzz, built on a foundation of rich history, a cultural smorgasbord of Arab, Berber, European and African influences, striking architecture, a vibrant arts scene and fabulous food with a strong seafood focus thanks to its Atlantic Coast location. And summer is the perfect time to visit, as it’s warm (averages of 27° C in July and August) with a cooling offshore breeze.
