Things to do in Dakhla

Casablanca's landmarks tell two distinct stories. The first is early-20th-century French colonial urbanism: Boulevard Mohammed V is one of the finest concentrations of Art Deco and Mauresque architecture outside Europe, built during the Protectorate (1912–1956) by architects including Henri Prost. The second story is contemporary Moroccan ambition: the Hassan II Mosque (1993), designed by Michel Pinseau, rises 200 metres above the Atlantic on a platform partially built over the sea and remains the second-tallest religious structure in the world. Between them sits the Habous quarter, an early-20th-century planned new medina, and the Cathedral Sacré-Cœur (1930), now a cultural exhibition space.
