Casablanca - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
For singles not so much, couples or people with kids fare better for social isolation reasons. - Sep 2022
For all, depending of your interests, though single women may have more trouble going around outside of the expat community. Unmarried couple with a Moroccan citizen member are not allowed to reside together; It can make booking a hotel or going around awkward. - Jun 2021
This is not a kid friendly post. There are no green spaces in Casa. No parks with playgrounds for kids. Very limited extra cirricular activities at school. Teen girls are often verbally sexually harassed. (Especially if they are blonde) I would say this is more a post of singles or for families without children. - Feb 2016
Families: Maybe. I think the schools are decent, but there's not a lot for school-aged children/families to do in Casa outside of the beach and mall. Singles: No. Most single Americans would have difficultly meeting someone here. Women would have more success than men due to Moroccan cultural norms. There are a handful of clubs on the corniche, but not much else (our Marines are fairly bored). Couples: Yes. Lots of restaurants, lots of travel opportunities. - Jul 2014
I think singles and childless couple have it the best here -- there are bars, restaurants, etc., though I can't speak to the dating scene myself. Kids are welcome mostly everywhere in restaurants BUT there is a serious dearth of clean parks and outdoor space. There are some activities if you hunt them down -- kid gyms, a water park, surfing lessons, stuff through the schools -- but it's certainly not easy. Most parents would say there aren't a ton of things for kids to do here. - May 2014
All of them. Plenty to do for families and couples and a vibrant singles scene as well. - Jun 2012
I've heard people say Casa is not a family post but I disagree. If you live in a villa you will probably have a decent yard for your child to play in. There are places to take the kids, you just have to look around a bit. While it's true that there aren't as many kids here as in Rabat, it's a small post, so that's the nature of the beast. Rabat is only an hour or so away and you can always join in on their CLO activities. There are decent restaurants here, a nice tapas bar, plenty of night time activities. - Apr 2010
Casablanca is often described as a big city without the benefits of a big city. Crime is high, pollution is bad, and traffic is terrible. On a positive note the restuarants are fantastic. Families often complain of how little there is to do for kids. - Mar 2008
