Iconic, must-visit landmark of Casablanca. You can buy tickets at the Hassan II Mosque Museum, located directly south-east of the mosque. The ticket includes a guided group tour of the mosque which is required for entering the premises. The tour is available in a multitude of languages. Officially, you need to wear pants to be allowed entry, although many in my tour either hadn't heard this or didn't care to respect it and were still allowed in. The mosque itself is magnificent and well worth the price of the ticket.

The resting place of one of the famous Sultans of Brunei. The mausoleum is quite decadent and stunning as with many sights in Brunei, and there is a great hike through the trees nearby. If you are lucky, you can often see monkeys in the surrounding area too.

Pretty poor signage; it is hard to find where you are supposed to wait/go to catch your Greyhound/Ontario Northlands bus. The terminal itself is also a reminiscent of the infamous Toronto coach terminal - many beggars come through the terminal, and ultimately is has a pretty sketchy feel to it. Nonetheless, it was actually quite cleaner than I would have expected, there are many Presto card stations and monitors displaying bus times, and there is always someone hanging around to ask if you have any questions about the buses.

An excellent high-end dining experience in central Casablanca. I had Dakhla oysters for an appetizer and then a fillet de bœuf, medium rare as a main course. Both were outstanding and fresh. The steak was a perfect medium-rare. It was also a pleasant surprise to be able to find not only alcohol here (which is pretty rare in Casablanca), but the local Casablanca beer. Service was kind, attentive, and professional.

Great Monegasque craft brewery, as far as I know it's the only place to get craft beer in all of Monaco. Reasonable prices, great setting right on the harbor, and excellent beers. They only had 3 beers on tap when I was there - a "blonde" and "blanche" that seem to always be on the menu, and a special seasonal offering, which was a dark and spicy Christmas beer.
