Is Casablanca worth visiting?
The short answer
The Hassan II Mosque and the Art Deco district.
The Hassan II Mosque is one of two Moroccan mosques open to non-Muslims — third-largest in the world, built on a platform over the Atlantic, with a retractable roof and a 210-metre minaret. The 1930s Art Deco district along Boulevard Mohammed V is among the finest in Africa. Beyond that, Casablanca is Morocco's economic capital, not a tourist city. Rick's Café was built in 2004 as a tribute to the film — the movie *Casablanca* was not filmed in Morocco.
