Mohammedia sits between Casablanca and Rabat, smelling of engine fuel, brine, and charred sardines. The Atlantic breaks hard against the breakwaters while the port hums with trawlers unloading sea bream and sole. Walk past the palm-lined French colonial boulevards into the eighteenth-century kasbah to find plastic tables where cooks fry whatever came off the boats two hours ago. It is an unvarnished port town that feeds you well.
