Casablanca is not like most other destinations in Morocco, for better or worse. It is more of a large ordinary city compared to the cultural historic cities normally found in the country. There is a Medina in Casablanca, which I enjoyed exploring. There's also historic architecture and several important squares to visit while in Casablanca. But the main attraction of the city is the Hassan II Mosque. It is the largest mosque in Africa and the seventh-largest mosque in the world!

In Marrakech, you will get lost in the narrow alleyways of the Medina. You will shop and haggle at the Souks (small markets). Don't expect luxury and modernities.

The square in the Southeastern part of the Medina was the inspiration for the creation of UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

One of the main reasons to go to Phnom Penh is the beautiful French colonial architecture that can be found throughout the city.
