Context

Our verdict

Casablanca is more a city to live in than to visit: Morocco's economic capital, few monuments apart from the Hassan II Mosque (the world's 3rd largest, open to non-Muslims). August is my favorite month (9.6/10): 68-81°F, 1% rain, Atlantic breezes that cool things down (Marrakech 150 miles away is at 100°F at the same time).
