This unlocked a memory from my Africa days. When I lived in Niger there were super cheap flights to the US that had 1+day layovers in Casablanca. The first thing I would do when I landed was find taxi that would take me to the Mcdonald’s on the Corniche with a view of the ocean & a that enormous Mosque.
Witty as always, you had me chuckling more than once. I now have this image of a towering mosque in my head - well done making us feel like we're right there with you!
Tom, what a very interesting observation you made on the dark alleys v wide boulevards with men in arms. I think also the question of safety is always a matter of perspective isn’t it? Especially when there’s such a deep history on what’s expected and what’s not. Thanks for this journey.
Wow! I went to the Putr Mosque in Malaysia, and thought it was large with its capacity of 15,000 worshippers. But I have never been to the Middle East or northern Africa, so I guess I haven't seen much yet.
Thank you for this insightful and at times amusing article. I love the review that will never be posted. 😉

Ah I love this! The view from the Corniche is really something

Putra, not Putr. 🙄
