Cruise Day 7.
Casablanca, Morocco.
We took the cruise ship's shuttle to outside the Old Medina.
We continued walking, past the Arab League Park.
We then arrived at Place Mohammed V, and observed the buildings and people.
Nearby, however, we were able to enter the impressive Mahkama du Pacha, and nearby market.
We then took a taxi back to the waterfront and looked out at Phare d'El Hank.
In the other direction was the magnificent - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan_II_Mosque .
We then walked back, via Rick' Cafe and the Old Medina, to take the shuttle back to our ship.

Nb. It was our second visit to Casablanca.
- Whilst Casablanca has been the least interesting of the Moroccan cities we have previously been to, it should be noted that this 3.5 million person city was only a 3,000 person fishing village 100 years ago!
