The name 'Synagogues Street' maybe refers to the fact that in Casablanca, as in many Moroccan towns, the majorities of the Synagogues were located in the Jewish quarter and were geographically concentrated in the same street, 'The Synagogues street'. In the picture, we can see the lively street, frequented by a lot of passers-by. These ones are traditionally and decently dressed. On both sides of the street, there are several shops, situated one close to the other.
