Casablanca is the cosmopolitan, industrial and economic heart of Morocco and represents a developing Nation.

Casablanca is where money was made, where industry is, where art galleries show the best contemporary art and where stylists have a window on the world.

It is home to suffocating traffic jams, social problems and slums, as well as wide avenues, well-kept public parks, fountains and a surprising colonial architecture.
