(ⵜⴰⴹⴰⵔⵜ ⵜⴰⵛⴻⵎⵍⴰⵍⵜ Tamazight, Berber: Anfa, ⴰⵏⴼⴰ) With a population of 3.1 million (3.8 million in the "greater Casablanca" (September 2005 census), Casablanca is Morocco's largest city as well as its chief port. It's also the biggest city in the Maghreb and the sixth biggest city in the entire continent of Africa. With a majority of the modern economic sector being based in the Casablanca region, and the Casablanca area being dominant in industrial and service sector activity, it is often and justifiably referred to as the economic capital, although Morocco's political capital is Rabat.
