In the 12th century, the founder of the Mowahid dynasty, Abdul-Mumin, established a military fortress on the cape on the left bank of the estuary for an expedition, named Ribat-Fath, or Ribat for short.

500 years ago, this was the old city of Anfa, which was destroyed by the Portuguese in the mid-15th century. It was occupied by the Portuguese in 1575 and renamed "Casa Blanca". After the Portuguese retreated in 1755, the name was changed to Dal Beda. At the end of the 18th century, the Spaniards obtained the privilege of trading in this port, calling it Casablanca, which means "white palace" in Spanish. Occupied by France at the beginning of the 20th century, the name Darbeda was restored after Morocco became independent. But people still call it Casablanca.

The city is close to the Atlantic Ocean, with evergreen trees and a pleasant climate. Sometimes, the Atlantic Ocean and the sea are surging, but the water in the harbor is unhappy. The fine sand beaches stretching several tens of kilometers from north to south are the best natural swimming places. The hotels, restaurants and various entertainment facilities along the coast are hidden under neat rows of tall palm trees and orange trees, which have its unique and attractive features.
