Field notes
Morocco's largest city and economic capital — the country's working business-and-finance hub. Maarif (the upscale residential-and-shopping district), Anfa (the high-end residential anchor), and the historic medina are the typical nomad neighborhoods. Same Moroccan visa story. The structural draws are real-economic-capital infrastructure, the Hassan II Mosque (the world's 14th-largest mosque, with the world's tallest minaret at 210m), and a more cosmopolitan rhythm than Marrakech or Fez. The structural friction is that Casablanca is more functional than charming — the city was largely built post-1907.
