Casablanca
Once upon a time Casablanca was no more than a small Berber settlement
clinging to the slopes of the Anfa hills and it was called Anfa that time. Later
on, it attracted the attention of the Portuguese for strategic and commercial
reasons and they called it Casa Branca because of a white-painted house appearing
from far away of the sea. After the Spanish came they changed the name to Casa
Blanca in Spanish which means the White House or Dar Albaida in its leteral Arabic
form.
Casablanca is Morocco’s biggest city and it’s considered to be the 3rd
largest and biggest city in Africa after Cairo and Johannesburg. Casablanca is
the commercial and financial capital of Morocco, is a baffling of metropolis
where tradition and modernity co-exist.
