Does anyone have experience living and flying in Casablanca, Morocco area? I have a job offer there and would like info from you guys instead of just the Morroccoians.
I believe they use US$ or Euro's?? Sounds like I get to pick, right now it's a no brainer..
I know English well and can get by with French.
They tell me it is very inexpensive to rent a place. $300.00 to $400.00 / month. Sounds like a very cheap place!
I understand a visa or work permit is needed to work there also.
Any things I need to look out for or be aware of ??
Cheyenne,
my info is limited and dated but i was living down there in the mid-90s while flying for the UN. It was OK then, not sure I'd go back (but maybe for the right contract) but it was a good experience. Casa was very much a modern city. It had a Western flair to it but still carried on some Muslim traditions. Quite a few tourists...
That's about all i can say. It was interesting but now far in my past...
SL,
Mid 90's was only 10 yrs. ago. Like you say, if the pay is great and I can enjoy, it would be a great experience.
There are not that many paved runways in the country. Approx. 37 and about the same unpaved. I would not be excited about flying a mid/low wing turbine into a dirt strip.
I'm trying to figure out the tax free income. Looks like if you work / live 365 days there, in one yr. then it is all US Tax free. Thank you.
