Living in Casablanca
Morocco · mediterranean
Casablanca is a big city of roughly 3,700,000 people right by the sea in Morocco. The climate is mediterranean. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,000. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for food and eating out, swimming.
By 2029 something concrete is due to change here: Al Boraq high-speed rail extension to Marrakesh. Private healthcare (4/5) is clearly better than the public system (1/5): budget for insurance. Starlink and satellite internet cannot be used in this country.
