Casablanca was my least favorite of the places we visited in Marrakech. It was extremely smoggy, overcast, and industrial. It reminded me of Los Angeles, actually. It was also the least progressive in terms of how women were treated. Most bars were still male-only, and if you weren't accompanied by a male companion, you often were not even given service at some cafes.
That being said, the old French colonial architecture mixed in with the medinas and markets was very interesting, and the Hassan II Mosque was gigantic and beautiful (3rd largest in the world apparently). We also had the pleasure of dining on some fantastic seafood.
All in all, Morocco was everything I had hoped for and more. Adventures in warm weather in a very different place than I'm used to with great traveling company!
