Casablanca, in Arabic Al-Dār al-Bayḍā, or Dar al-Beïda, principal port of Morocco, on the North African Atlantic seaboard.
When people decide to take a journey to Morocco, they tend to seek out the predefined exotic destinations in the country, and while Casablanca (see our insider’s guide to Casablanca) lacks that label, there are several interesting things to do in Casablanca before traipsing off into the desert for a camel ride. Situated on Morocco’s northwestern coast, the city is known as dar el Beida in Arabic. The name Casablanca means “white house.”
