With a population of over 3.2 million, Casablanca is Morocco's economic engine, but the bureaucratic headaches and heavy tax burden can be a persistent challenge. The city's coastal location moderates temperatures, but climate change threatens to inflict escalating damage from sea level rise. While the skyline is dominated by international corporations and modern architecture, Casablanca's gritty streets also host pockets of poverty and occasional unrest. Overall, this bustling commercial hub is best suited for those drawn to its role as a financial powerhouse, rather than those seeking a tranquil Moroccan experience.
