Casablanca is the largest Atlantic Ocean port in western Morocco. It is Morocco's largest city and is also the largest city in the Maghreb area. Casablanca is known to be the business centre of Morocco, while the administrative capital of Morocco is Rabat.
Use the A1 motorway to travel from Casablanca to Rabat for 85 kilometres along the Atlantic coast of Morocco and continue to Tanger for 300 kilometres. Marrakech is 250 kilometres to the south via the A3 motorway, and Fes is 300 kilometres to the northeast via A5. All these motorways are toll roads so have cash ready at all times.
Card payments are not very common in Morocco. They can be accepted in supermarkets, hotels, and shopping centres, but not in small souvenir shops or taxis, so bring cash with you. Foreign cash will have to be exchanged for the Moroccan dirham. It is illegal to trade in foreign currencies in Morocco.
There are two official languages in Morocco – Arabic and French, and some English is also spoken.
