With a population of 168,687, Berrechid is no quaint village. This medium-sized Moroccan city lies about 32 kilometers south of Casablanca, positioning it as a potential commuter hub. However, the bureaucracy here is a persistent headache, with the local psychiatric hospital dating back to the colonial era.

For those seeking an affordable alternative to Casablanca, Berrechid may be worth a look. But the remote location and historical baggage mean this city is unlikely to appeal to the average expat.
