Casablanca, Part 2
There are a few other sights in Casablanca for the tourists to visit other than the mosque, but we had nothing else in particular that we wanted to see badly. Thus we told Mohammad, just drive. Drive he did. We went past upscale shopping districts, parks, government offices and residential areas.
Parc de la Ligue Arabe
For the majority of our time in the city, it was drizzly and gray and gloomy. Not very conducive to exploring a foreign city. To be frank, outside of the mosque (post coming) there is little the city has to offer me; but I would definitely go back given the chance so that I may do a more thorough visit.

I like the pictures and the place, even with a drizzly and gray and gloomy day. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello, what a great tour and city to visit. Wonderful collection of photos. Happy skywatching, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat streetscapes.
ReplyDeleteSydney – City and Suburbs
I love the street scenes.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting, my whole image of Casablanca is based on the movie. My mind's eye sees it as a sleepy little town with tourists floating into exotic bars. Clearly it's not a sleepy little town at all!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots from the city.
ReplyDeleteAwesome view and pics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sights of the city.
ReplyDeleteCasablanca! Just thinking about that word is so romantic. HA!
ReplyDeletewow Casablanca, it's been on my list of places to visit for quite a few years, quite a fascinated city :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous place.
ReplyDeleteYou are right--the new bridge is only 300 years old, build in the 1700's as opposed to the old bridge whose foundations are possibly Roman. We are Spain and headed to Morocco tomorrow. Having already been once, my stomach is actually in knots. Hate is too strong of a word, but I now associate most Arab things negatively because I live in Saudi. I dislike the music, the smells, and dirt. I am glad you are having a nice time!

ReplyDeleteThe skies aren't very interesting, but the streets are quite fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that lovely visit to Casablanca! I'll take the shish-kabobs dinner from one of the restaurants in the photos!
ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend!
if you take the skies only it looks like the view outside my window right now. But the city is much more colorful :)
ReplyDeleteCasablanca looks like a wonderful place to explore through your photos. Great streets view and palm trees. Have a lovely weekend!
