Grand Casablanca

Grand Casablanca or Greater Casablanca (Arabic: الدار البيضاء الكبرى) was one of the sixteen former regions of Morocco that existed from 1997 to 2015. Located in coastal northwestern Morocco, it was the most densely populated region and covered an area of 1,117 km2. The population at the 2014 census was 4,270,750.
