Casablanca – Where Glass Towers Meet Old Stone Walls 🏙️🕌

#hellohalloween Casablanca is Morocco’s bridge between yesterday and tomorrow. Walking through its streets feels like time traveling — one moment you’re staring up at sleek skyscrapers of steel and glass, the next you’re lost among the arches and zellij tiles of the old medina. The Hassan II Mosque stands proudly on the edge of the Atlantic — an architectural masterpiece that marries tradition with innovation, its minaret soaring beside the city’s modern skyline. Just a few blocks away, French-colonial Art Deco buildings blend with Arabic motifs, proof of a city that has always embraced contrasts. 📍 Where to explore: Hassan II Mosque, Place Mohammed V, Old Medina, Maarif District 🚇 Getting there: Central Casablanca, easy to reach from Casa Voyageurs station 🕰️ When to go: Late afternoon — when sunlight dances between the domes and glass facades. Casablanca isn’t just modern or traditional — it’s both, living side by side, shaping Morocco’s most cosmopolitan rhythm. ✨
