About
Casablanca is the largest city of Morocco. Located in the central-western part of Morocco bordering the Atlantic Ocean, it is the largest city in the Maghreb region and the eighth-largest in the Arab world. Casablanca is Morocco's chief port and one of the largest financial centers in Africa. Casablanca is considered the economic and business center of Morocco, although the national political capital is Rabat.
Casablanca is located on the Chaouia Plains which has historically been the breadbasket of Morocco.[46] Apart from the Atlantic coast, the Bouskoura forest is the only natural attraction in the city.[47] The forest was planted in the 20th century and consists mostly of eucalyptus, palm, and pine trees.[48] It is located halfway to the city's international airport.
The only watercourse in Casablanca is oued Bouskoura, a small seasonal creek that until 1912 reached the Atlantic Ocean near the actual port. Most of oued Bouskoura's bed has been covered due to urbanization and only the part south of El Jadida road can now be seen. The closest permanent river to Casablanca is Oum Rabia, 70 km to the south-east.
