Experience in Casablanca, Morocco by Sara

What is it like to live in Casablanca? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Living in Casablanca is really stressfull: a lot of noise... However the life there is very good you can find everything you need nearby and in anytime (it's like New York, this city doesn't sleep). And I would certainly recommend.

Casablanca is an experience in itself, a mix between modern and cultural life.

Well, Casablanca is a megalopolis, I think that can resume everything I could say.

It' s wiser to go there first, take a cheap hotel and do your researches cause the good deals are definitely not the ones you can find in an agency.
