We did not see many tourists around but I am sure there must be plenty in the summer months. Having said that though, I think a lot of people go to Marrakesh, and there is a new Sol Kerzner Hotel at Mazagan Beach. The latter though I would think would be more like going to Vegas than to Morocco! People in the street though recognised us as tourists and many said 'Welcome to Casablanca'.
