Yummi Casablanca

Staying in a hotel next to a fish restaurant has it's advantages and its flaws. The unbelievable smell that emerges from it can be overwhelming, but also soothing at times when you are hungry.

Riad decoration

Recommendation is to stay in a little riad(a pension house), or the small family hotel inside the wall

of Medina(old city).

Sure it gets a little crowded, noisy and smelly, but it guarantees an amazing adventure because its closeness to the streets or simply visiting the market.

Streets of Medina (the older part of the city)

Morroco has many hidden beautiful corners. While you visit all the little shops where the local masters make everything by themselves, it is hard to resist the desire to buy everything and take it home. Amazing ceiling lamps, weeded carpets with a Sahara motive, leather in all sorts of varieties, and many more. So, don't resist and buy as much as possible, don't forget to bargain hard, and you can be sure that you will have some amazing souvenirs and presents that you will never regret buying.

Wonderful colors everywhere you go.












Food in Casablanca is delicious, I don't know if we've been lucky, but it was amazing. The opportunity of having a fish restaurant just next to the hotel is wonderful(those fishy smells are quite appealing during evening times). And ofcourse, experiencing other restaurants in Medina was quite an amazing experience.

Sights visiting came down to visiting the mosque. It is the only one that lets non-Muslims enter, and it is an amazing site. You could easily get lost inside, while it is 200 meters long and 100 meters wide. Inside it is covered with hand works of all kinds: floor is consisted of beautiful marble in different colors brought to the mosque from all over the Morroco, wals with beautiful carvings in wood and stone, carpets with an amazing patterns. Guarantees a unique experience of the East.

Casablanca's cathedral is something to see. It is all white, and the way vitrages are placed, give you the experience of a different geographical position you have found yourself into. The sun coming from behind the colorful windows makes the white inside blossom with colours. The cathedral is not functional, it serves as a museum. You can also climb the bell tower to have an amazing view on the city, you pay 20 Dirhams to the lovely gentlemen at the door. The tower climbing is a bit scary, don't let the pigeons discourage you.

There is so much Casablanca has to offer, I am sure if we took two weeks for it, it wouldn't be enough, but unfortunately we just had three days. Keeping our wonderful memories and beautiful pictures, we are taking the afternoon train to Fes.
