Casablanca Basics: Things To Know Before Arriving in Casablanca
Apartments
Most foreignhire teachers live in Gauthier or the adjoining Maarif neighborhoods (called “quartiers” locally).You’ll be
very close to the American Consulate, excellent restaurants, and comfortable shopping.
Upon arrival, your apartment will have the basics covered. The kitchen has basic equipment with fresh food in the
refrigerator. The bathroom has towels and tissue. The beds have linens. The furniture is simple but clean.
Most apartments in Casablanca have a guardian; this person will speak Darija Arabic and possibly French and can help
you pay your electricity, receive your mail, assist with parking questions, keep the corridors of your building clean,
and many other things.
More details about daily living in the “Neighborhood needs” section below.
Attire
Nonmuslims are not expected to wear traditional clothing and many Moroccans, men and women, dress in a
European style. The information below is meant just as a guidea way to understand what will get you attention
when in the greater Casablanca community. Conservative but comfortable attire typically looks like:
* Shoulders are usually covered (except near the beach, in European neighborhoods, or at clubs)
* Shorts or short skirts are rarely seen
Clothes What to pack and bring with you?
Plan on experiencing very warm and humid days, as well as cold and wet days in the winter. It would be advisable to
bring a warm coat / jacket. If you are planning to travel to the mountainous areas and enjoy the wonderful hiking
opportunities Morocco offers, plan on bringing your mountain gear.
Electricity And Voltage
Appliances in Morocco has a twopin plug, also known as a Europlug or Plug Type C:
The voltage level is Morocco is generally 220V. (Originally 127V and there are ongoing updates to 220V). North
American appliances run on 110V so caution is necessary when deciding what to bring. Most new, higherend
electronics such as laptops usually have an auto converter; however, hair dryers, electric shavers, etc. do not.
Money & Financial needs
The currency in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham, denoted as MAD or DHS. The dirham is a closed currency which
means it is only traded within Morocco. There is an import/export limit of 1000dhs so you may not want to exchange
money into dirham before arriving. If bringing money in, keep in mind that generally the most common foreign
currencies bought and sold are the Euro, US Dollar and maybe the Pound Sterling.
It is possible to exchange money at the airport’s Bureau de Change. When in Casablanca, there are outlets such as
UAE Xchange where you can exchange foreign currency to dirham. Your passport is required to carry out the
transaction.
Upscale restaurants and hotels may accept foreign credit cards. It may also be possible to use your home bank ATM
card in Casablanca to withdraw dirhams. Be aware that transaction charges usually applies.
Morocco is largely still a cashbased society. In the cities, you will be able to use your Moroccan bank’s ATM/Debit
card in many shops and restaurants. If the debit card is accepted, most grocery stores have a minimum purchase
requirement to use it (usually between 50 80 dirham).
In the first few months, to ensure your bills are paid while working in Morocco, plan on having emergency money left
in your country to cover necessary expenses back home for two months (six months if you want to be extra
prepared).
* Your banking options in Casablanca will be explained upon arrival: you cannot effectively
set up an account beforehand.
* Inform your home bank that you will be working in Morocco to understand tax and other financial
issues. This might include giving legal permission for a trusted person to negotiate things in your absence.
* Consider keeping your home credit card active but informing them of your new home.
* You will receive 5000 dirhams settling in allowance in cash upon arrival to ease your immediate needs.
Language
Because of colonization, many languages are spoken in different sections of Morocco.
Within the larger cities, French is commonly used. You might choose to learn some basic French or load language
learning software on your computer before your move.Once living here, you might join a group classes or higher a
private tutor. A free, userfriendly language learning program is Duolingo. Available as iOS and Android apps as well.
Morocco’s country dialect of Arabic of Darija is widely used; so, learning a few phrases over the Internet will go a long
way towards being received most regions of Morocco. You don’t have to learn how to write this languagejust sound
it out with your own letters. http://www.speakmoroccan.com/phrases/basicphrases/
If you want, evening classes are available to teach you French, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, German and other languages.
Ask in the Communications Office and we’ll help you get information.
Neighborhoods we live in
Neighborhoods or quartiers of Casablanca. Most teacher apartments are located in Gauthier, Maarif or Racine.
Fitness
Gyms are available around your apartment. You will have several choices, some with special hours to separate
genders, some with an emphasis for crossfit or swimming or general health. Many will have their own hammam too.
Hammam
Turkish bathhouse and your neighborhood will have several differentlypriced options for scrubs, steam, sauna,
massages, and many other luxuries. It is a tradition in Morocco, so enjoy the local custom. Our favorites? Cap Forme,
and Bain Gauthier in Quartier Gauthier.
*If you are looking for the “royal” treatment, consider “Lucie Saint Clair”try the regular hamam for about 290 dh.
Shopping
Many people use small stores easily located on a street nearby their apartment. You might choose to go to
Europeanstyle grocery, clothing, or home merchandise stores too. Street markets vary from inexpensive to touristy
so we’ll help you understand these later. For now, if you have a favorite “must have” item, go ahead and assume you
won’t find it hereor look up the store lists at the Morocco Mall or Anfa Place.
Telephone & Internet
Upon arrival, a basic cell phone with prepaid credit from Meditel will be provided to each teacher or couple. That
phone needs to be returned to CAS by October 15. Please note that you can refill this Meditel card to call the US, as
the amount prepaid on the card by CAS is limited.
You can also bring your UNLOCKED smartphone and purchase a SIM card locally. Best bet to call home is to use a
smartphone calling app or Skype from your own computer. There is no charge in Morocco to receive calls. Recently,
however, one needs to use a VPN app to make/receive calls through apps such as WhatsApp and Skype.
Internet access in Morocco has surged over the last few years, particularly due to the increased penetration of mobile
internet. Many cafes and restaurants around Casa have free WiFi (pronounced “weefee”) access. Look for signs
advertising this.
Transportation
Taxis will probably be your most common mode of transport, aside from the CAS school bus transportation to work.
And Uber is taking off here as well.
Petit taxi
Taxi colours differ from city to city in Morocco; Casablanca petit taxis for intercity travel are red. They are only
allowed to carry a maximum of 3 passengers. Always insist on using the meter! Do not be surprised if the car stops to
take on more passengers (they are usually going in the same general direction). Conversely, you can flag one already
carrying passengers and inquire if the driver is headed to your destination.
In more ‘touristy’ areas, such as the train stations and Morocco Mall, drivers will want to charge a flat fare. Do not
accept this unless you know it is the correct fare for your selected distance. Instead, walk a block or two and you’ll get
an honest driver.
Make sure to carry smaller 20 dhs bills or loose change when travelling. Tipping is ok but not required or expected. To
give you an idea of fares: the trip between downtown Casablanca and CAS will cost anywhere from 25 to 35 dirham
should you miss the regularly scheduled bus provided at no expense to you.
Uber, Votre Chauffeur
Uber works very well in Casablanca and the teachers use it regularly to get home late in the evening or take a ride out
to the surfing beach after school alone or in small groups. Other similar companies such as ‘Votre Chauffeur’ also
offer individualized taxi services. Some are geared towards the business person, so the service is upscale and you pay
for the comfort.. Tip is included in the price, which will vary depending where you want to go. They have an app
downloadable at http://votrechauffeur.ma/. The site and app are in French ONLY, so brush up on your language
skills…
Grande Taxis
The big taxis are white Mercedes in Casablanca; they travel within the city and also outside of the city limits for easy
weekend trips to neighboring cities. You will often see the grand taxis carrying up to 67 passengers at a time. Your
sense of adventure and an ability to overlook the lack of personal space should be at its height if you decide to go this
route. Fares vary but you are more likely to be told a flat rate when negotiating with a grand taxi driver. You can also
negotiate a flat rate for yourself to travel alone or a designated group.
Getting to and from the airport?
When you first arrive in Casablanca, a CAS representative will pick you up just outside the airport as nontravelers
are no longer allowed to enter the building. There are two terminals and exits, but they do connect. Please exit the
building from Terminal 2, which is closest to the baggage claim carousels 610. We want to personally welcome you
and see to your immediate needs, like your apartment, food, and training schedule.
As you exit, you may pick up a free SIM card from one of the local phone companies. If your phone is unlocked, they
can pop the SIM in for you. If your phone is not unlocked, the school can lend you a basic phone. Please, let us know if
you need one, and we’ll include it in your welcome pack.
During holiday vacations, when you want to travel internationally, it’s important to know that you have several
options to easily access the airport from work or your apartment. It is always a good idea to ask returning teachers’
feedback on any of the options so you have an idea what to expect.
* Grand Taxis can take you to the airport for approximately 200300 dhs. This is literally doortodoor service and
should be prearranged.
* Car rentals cost about 250 dhs a day, so this is another option if you’re picking up friends and family from the
airport.
* Trains run between the Casablanca Mohamed V airport and the Casa Voyageur station in the city and Gare Oasis
Station. Trains leave hourly, but make sure to budget in time for delays. Check www.oncf.ma for price and schedule.
* Doortodoor service A company such as Aeroport Transport. Contact: Mohammed Bahraoui, 06 76 76 81 89.
Mohammed speaks English well and is familiar with CAS faculty using their servic
Weather and Climate
Casablanca’s weather is mild. The maximum temperature is around 32C/90F usually between May through October;
but, it can feel very humid and sticky. Many places are not airconditioned.
In winter the sun is warm and the air is very cool. Temperatures reach the high teens in Celsius or 50s in Fahrenheit)
and can be as low as 5C/40F . Buildings in Morocco are not insulated so the humidity of the Atlantic Ocean can make
the air temperature feel cooler. Bring warm clothing.
Rainfall can be expected between November through March. Sometimes, it is quite strong but often it is mild.

Medical Requirements
Read more: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/morocco/642770#ixzz4GkNADeXZ
No compulsory vaccinations are required to enter Morocco, though travelers arriving from cholerainfected
areas may be asked for proof of vaccine. It is always wise to be uptodate with your immunization status for
tetanus, polio, diphtheria, typhoid, rabies, and hepatitis A.
Moroccan authorities officially deny the existence of malaria, but other sources report very occasional
summertime cases in a few of the more northern reaches of the country. Rabies cases are very uncommon,
but do still occur. Vaccination against rabies doesn't provide absolute immunity, however, so it's worth
seeking medical advice before you leave, should you be concerned.

Human Resources
Banking
New teachers must open a local bank account to electronically receive their salary. There is a multitude of banks you
can choose to set up bank accounts with however, as part of the new faculty orientation, CAS recommends going with
Nawal Mouhriz at the 55 Bd Abdelmoumen branch of Societe Generale for bank accounts for the following reason:
1. Salaries show up in your local account the same day that the school submits the transfers orders.
2. International wire transfer request can be sent through the school drivers, without having to go to the bank
every time
3. The school uses this bank as well
Nawal Mouhriz is one of the main people taking care of the Casablanca American School employees, She is an
English, French, and Arabic speaker at 05 22 43 87 99 but this branch is only open Monday thru Friday from 93:30pm.

Building Guardians (partial concierges)
Building guardians vary greatly regarding the services they provide. Most guardians will help carry groceries to your
apartment, change light bulbs if you need a ladder, pay your bills, get Butagaz, help you park your car, wash your car,
etc.
Inquire with your guardian about where to put your trash. Some apartment buildings ask that trash be put in a trash
bin; others allow you to put it outside your door so the guardian can collect it daily.
Generally, guardians are paid monthly. This is considered a ‘tip’ because it is not required that you do so. An average
tip about would be around 100 dhs per month. Tipping your guardian more during Islamic holiday times is typical.
Butagaz
Most ovens and/or stovetops in your apartment are gasoperated. The gas here is called ‘Butagaz’
and can be purchased at most local stores. The total for a new gas container is about 60 dhs. Part of
this fee is a ‘bottle charge’ that you are refunded upon return of the empty bottle.
Butagaz is also used for gas heaters.
When changing your Butagaz, please remember to check the seal with soapy water, and not by
lighting a match to see if it explodes! Usually the store you buy the Butagaz at will have someone
willing to go with you to change your bottle for a 5 – 10 dirham tip. Your building guardian can help
out here, too.
Gyms
Several gyms are used by our community.
● Kenzi at the Twin Centre10,000 dhs a year usually
● Cap Forme in Gauthier packages available; limits hours for males separately from females
● City Club in Racine (with other clubs on Abdelmoumen and Californiehas a 15ish meter pool)

Housekeepers
Many teachers hire a housekeeper to attend to most all household responsibilities. Ask any returning teacher for
recommendations. Often two faculty members will share a housekeeper in order to provide her fulltime work.
Bouchra in HR can also help locate a housekeeper. Your apartment building might have a housekeeper too that will be
significantly less expensive and come more frequently.
Housekeepers can provide a variety of services, including cooking, cleaning, laundry, getting groceries, get Buta gas
(see below), and other chores such as go to the pharmacy, pay your bills, take things to the tailor, etc. If you have an
idea of what you might like her to do, it would be helpful to discuss this during the hiring process.
The average pay for a housekeeper acquired through the school network is 200300 dhs per day. This rate is not set in
stone, it is simply an average. You and your housekeeper will find a rate you agree on. Some people follow customs of
giving a holiday bonus (during Ramadan, Aid Kbir, New Year), vacation pay in the summer, and end of service bonus.
Mail
Faculty members are welcome to use the school’s Californie address for reception of personal mail:
[Teacher Name]
Casablanca American School
Route de la Mecque, Lotissement Ougoug,
Quartier Californie
Casablanca
Morocco
20150
Stamps for personal use: ask at reception for the courier to pick up stamps on his next trip to the Post Morac (post
office). Letters, already stamped, can be given to the Reception for delivery.
If you wish to send priority mail and it is time sensitive, you will probably want to go directly to the post office.
Packages mailed to you will likely be held at the main post office on Avenue des Far. You will receive a notice that you
take to the specified post office to claim your package. Expect to have packages inspected by Customs and you will
probably be charged a customs fee for your items.
Your time at the post office can range from 15 minutes to two hours. Bring a book. Lobby hours are 8:30 – 4:30.

Safety and security
Some people feel more secure, some feel less. As with most of life, it’s your own perspective and much less about
facts. Here are a few things to consider: when you might be more vulnerable to crime or harassment, where you
might be, and why.
● When More violent crime happens between 6pm and 6am across most cultures. Take into account that
traffic aggression after work, darkness, and common alcohol consumption hours. Ramadan is a wonderful
religious time but also a marked increase in petty fights and fires around town. Register for your country’s
security alert emails through their embassy or consulate’s website.
● WhereIf you are in a tourist site or city, crime is usually higher than countryside. Taking advantage of your
lacking language or regional knowledge is somewhat different than crimeeven though cheating one out of
money is not an honest practice either.
● WhyPoverty rates are quite high comparative to many European countries. As an expat, others will assume
you are paid well to live in another country than your origin. It is not discrimination but something to be
aware of.
Telephone
Phone service providers include Maroc Telecom, Meditel, Inwi. The same companies also provide cellular phone
services, with prepaid and contract options. These companies are similar both in service and price. 3G and data
contracts are available; however, you’ll need your carte de sejour, which can take several months from your arrival
date.
Utilities LYDEC – Electricity and Water
Tenants are billed monthly for each service. You can have your maid or guardian pay your bill (be sure to get a
receipt!) or you may bring the bill to school with the appropriate amount and ask the courier to pay it for you (this is
through the bookkeeping office).
With your Moroccan bank card, you can also pay online yourself: https://client.lydec.ma/site/fr/paiementdirect or
arrange subscribe for direct payment from your checking account.
Electricity and water accounts are set up for you by the school.
Vets
There are some vets around town, including a vet downstairs from Animal Planet (22 bis Hay Salamavenue atlas CIL).
They speak a little English and also can provide boarding for dogs if you are away on a vacation. Contact Brenda
Moore (Assistant LS Principal for more info)
Kenza Bakkali is another veterinary option if you speak French, Spanish or Arabic. She is very accommodating and will
even make house calls if absolutely necessary. Her number is 06 61 22 47 40 and her office near the Bourgogne
Acima. Call her for exact directions. She works Saturday mornings too. Link for contact information:
