Coastal areas face litter and erosion pressures—travelers can reduce impact by avoiding single‑use plastics and supporting local businesses that follow waste‑reduction practices.
Casablanca grew into Morocco’s commercial capital during French colonial redevelopment in the early 20th century; Hassan II Mosque was completed in 1993 as a national landmark.
