Other Popular Destinations in Morocco
Marrakesh
Marrakesh, a vibrant jewel in the heart of Morocco, is a city where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern allure. Known as the "Red City" for its rose-hued buildings and walls, Marrakesh offers a sensory experience unlike any other. The city’s medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, bustling souks, and hidden courtyards.
Fès
A series of gates surrounds the two centers of ancient, medieval Fez (sometimes spelled Fes). The principal axes link the center to the gates and a street surrounds the heart of the old city. The Kairouan quarter, which is longer, is crossed by an artery. Narrow, tortuous pedestrian streets, covered passages, stairs and numerous dead-ends make up the dense layout with few urban squares.
