Casablanca wove its way into the hearts of Westerners thanks to the classic film starring Bogart and Bergman. Today, it abounds with burgeoning hopefuls seeking their own piece of fame and fortune. Casablanca is a large, modern city where French colonial vestiges remain only in pockets of the Old City. Handsome Moorish-style buildings, a pirate vibe, and contemporary sophistication meld in this Euro-African city pulsing with energy. Visit Hassan II Mosque and drive by the Sacre Coeur Church on your way to Fes.

Fes not only claims the oldest university in the world, the University of Al-Karaouine, but a UNESCO World Heritage designation as well! You’ll feel as if you were transported into medieval times as you stroll ancient quarters, take in distinctive Moroccan design patterns, and peer into legacies of craftsmanship. Several civilizations and characteristics meld to create its distinct city vibe – Arab nobility, Andalusian refinement, Jewish ingenuity, and Berber tenacity. Palaces, mosques, schools, astronomers, mathematicians, and religious leaders made this city highly influential in its day.
