Stargazing in Casablanca, Morocco

Casablanca's Bortle 7 coastal glow gives way to darker skies inland, where Morocco's dry climate and the Atlas Mountains offer excellent observing. The High Atlas, a few hours south-east, reaches Bortle 2–3 at altitude, and the desert beyond toward the Sahara offers some of the clearest skies in North Africa. At 33.6°N, the southern sky is reasonably well placed, with the summer Milky Way core standing high from a dark site. The dry Mediterranean-to-arid climate delivers frequent clear nights, and the Oukaimeden Observatory in the High Atlas reflects the region's astronomical value.
