Oh.. sambung balik trip yg lepas (pit stop kat down under Perth sekejap).. now back to Africa and enough of Fes, now we are heading to Casablanca. Don't you think that the word Casablanca sounds classy and sexy? I do.
The city is well known due to Casablanca the classic movie made in 1942 whereby in actual fact it does not correlate at all with the city. It was flimed inside the studio and not in Casablanca, Morocco. So why on earth this city deserved to be well known when nothing much can be offered?
One US expat lady has open a cafe similar to the movie - Rick's cafe even though it's not real, just to fool the tourist. Hmmm.. talking about opportunity kan.. smart move.
We went to the famous Hassan II mosque heard from the local that $750 millions needed to built the Mosque was financed directly from Moroccans themselves.
The Mosque completed in 1993, became Morocco’s largest, and the 7th largest in the whole world. Its minaret, at 210 meters high, is the highest in the world.
Heading back to the city to catch a long train ride to Marrakech. Had fried chicken and rice for lunch. Yummy.
To be continue in part iv.. Marrakech :)
