Unusual spot in Casablanca:the shrine of Sidi Abdel Rahman

One of the more unusual spots in Casablanca is the shrine of Sidi Abdel Rahman on the edge of the Corniche neighbourhood. Set on a tiny island (at which time pilgrims simply walk across the shallow waters), many Muslims come here to chase out evil jinn spirits. A few merchants and healers live on the island. the nearby beaches are a social meeting point, with families gathering to eat snails and looking for crabs, especially on weekends.
