Morocco 2023-2024 Day 1 (12/19/23) Casablanca
We arrived in Casablanca, after heading through customs etc. Zak was there to meet us along with his mother (a nice surprise). Sami and his Grandmother headed back to Essaouira where she lives and the four of us (Zak, Sarah, Cecile and I) headed off to start exploring Casablanca. First Stop was to Check in at the Hyatt Regancy.
Cecile and Sarah thought we should take this car, a Maybach, but I think it would be alittle out of our price range.
Shops along the Main thoroughfare below our room.
