My geography was never great until I became a cabin crew.Later I was enlightened about the central northern & southern parts of Africa. Today I will talk about the northern part, a beautiful country called Morrocco.I visited the city Casablanca & was blown away by its beauty. I was put up in a hotel near Ain Diab, a famous spot to hang out & also a famous beach.Due to time constraint, I couldn't cover all the places however I've got some excellent places to recommend.

After we landed in the evening, we had one & a half day to explore this city.We headed off straight to a restaurant Le Basmane at Ain Diab for dinner.My good friend accompanied me to this restaurant where we ordered Chicken Tagine which is a Moroccan entree.

There were few amazing belly dancers(yaaaassss I said belly dancers)who blew everyone's mind (especially men Ohh Hooo oo) with their killer moves while we have a bite.Best time to visit: evening hours & you'll spend a minimum of 200 to 250 MAD drinks excluded.
Rise N Shine: Next day we hired a car opposite our hotel( local driver in 250 MAD for a day) to show us around the city.We went to this beautiful Mosque called Hassan II Mosque.It's the 13th largest mosque with the world's tallest (210 meters) minaret on this planet which can accommodate a maximum of 105000 worshippers (25000 inside the mosque & 80000 on the mosques outside grounds).The mosque stands on a headland with a view of Atlantic ocean right ahead.So practically you pray over the sea without a glass sealing beneath you(still fascinating isn't it?).THIS MOSQUE IS THE ONLY MOSQUE WHERE NON-MUSLIMS ARE ALSO ALLOWED INSIDE DURING PARTICULAR TIMINGS OF THE DAY SO DON'T MISS IT.



Next, we went to a place from where we could see this mosque from afar.To see the view of the Atlantic ocean alongside the mosque was phenomenal.



After spending some time there, we left to take a tour of this city.We saw the palace of Saudi king & the most expensive residential area & trust me all of it was worth watching.Later we went to the local market in the old town to buy some Moroccan oil & to our surprise, we found some beneficial spices which heal certain ailments.



I wish I could go to Marrakesh, anyways later we spent some time at the Ain Diab street which has more restaurants & cafes with the Atlantic ocean right in front of you.

We visited this city in the month of March which is a pleasant time.You'll experience cold breeze & by evening the temperature becomes a little cold, but still, it's pleasant.

All good things come to an end & so did our trip too, but I do wish to explore other cities as well.But I know one thing for sure that I'll be speaking about another spectacular town in South Africa...any guesses?? Until then I'll see you in my next travel! Safe travels everyone!!
