Casablanca (الدار البيضاء ed-Dar el-Biḍa), the largest city of Morocco, is located in the western part of the country
on the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the largest city in the Maghreb, as well as one of the largest and most important cities in Africa, both economically and demographically.
The Latinized name of the city is a Portuguese word combination meaning "White house" (branca "white", casa "house"). The modern Spanish version of the name came later. The city is now nicknamed Casa by many locals.
Anfa is generally considered the "original city" or "old city" of Casablanca; it is legally a prefecture (district) with half a million city inhabitants, and thus is part of the Grand Casablanca region.
