Grand Casablanca, Former administrative region in northwestern Morocco
Grand Casablanca was a northwestern administrative region of Morocco that spread along the Atlantic coast, encompassing the major city of Casablanca and the Prefecture of Mohammedia. The territory served as the country's economic hub and housed numerous key institutions and businesses.
The region was established in 1997 as a separate administrative unit and merged with neighboring provinces in 2015 to form the new administrative division of Casablanca-Settat. This consolidation was part of broader administrative reforms across Morocco.
The region contained multiple prefectures and provinces, including Casablanca-Anfa, Ain Sebaa-Hay Mohammedi, and Nouaceur, each contributing distinct local traditions.
The area is best reached via Hassan II International Airport or by train, as the region served as a major transport hub. The infrastructure enables easy connections to other parts of the country.
The territory bordered the Atlantic Ocean to the north while the Chaouia-Ouardigha region surrounded its remaining three sides, creating a specific geographic configuration.
