🇲🇦 🇲🇦 🇲🇦 Casblanca is my last stop in Morocco. Unlike other parts of the Morocco I have visited where time has stopped , roads are shared comforatably by donkey side by side with modern cars, Casablanca is the modern 21st century face of Morocco. It is the economic lung of Morocco . The city's French colonial legacy is seen in its downtown Mauresque architecture, a blend of Moorish style and European art deco. I reached Casablanca in the evening . The hotel I stayed is close to western standards rather than…

🇲🇦 🇲🇦 🇲🇦 The original plan to visit Morocco was to primarily climb mount Tobukal. Since I was planning to climb Mt.

However the earthquake at Morocco created severe damage to refuges up in mountain and it seemed impossible to do the Tobukal. My orginal tour company cancelled it and then I tried with some alternatives but they got cancelled too. Finally I booked with a local operator but even that could not…
