Asila

A gorgeous seaside city on the northern coast of the country, Asila has a rich and varied history. As early as the 16th century, it was located on the main trade route used by the Phoenicians and was later captured by the Portuguese before coming under Moroccan rule in the 17th century.

Each successive culture and society has left its mark on the city, making modern Asilah a fascinating example of Morocco’s unique heritage.

The Portuguese fortress leans dangerously over the cliffs, while charming blue and white Moroccan houses line the streets.

Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen, located in the picturesque mountain range, Rif in the northern part of the country, is famous for its striking blue houses, against a backdrop of desolate mountain scenery.

The city climbs up the mountain and each successive floor reveals more Moroccan splendor. The older parts of the city bear the imprint of Andalusian and Islamic cultures: walls painted blue and blue, tile roofs, keyhole-shaped door arches, and the winding passages of the city winding through it.

Although Chefchaouen has gained popularity among tourists in recent years, it is still one of the best options for discovering Morocco’s untouched, unique history. It is also possible to do Tour 6 ias desde Tanger al Desierto

Essaouira

One of the most hidden and inaccessible, thanks to the harsh windy conditions that protect it from tourists who come to Morocco in search of sun, is Essaouira.

In addition to the unique natural scenery surrounding the city, striking buildings, bustling bazaars and harbors, high city walls hiding the markets and streets winding among them. The walls offer a marvelous view of the city, its surroundings and the Iles Purpuraires islands in the distance.

Fez

Although Fez is the second largest settlement in the country, it retains its reputation and charm of a small town.

It is full of unique old buildings, testifying to its rich and ancient cultural life: the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the winding alleys that Moroccans love so much, bazaars, Islamic madrassas, huge mosques and of course the oldest university in the world.

All this makes Fez more of an open-air museum than a bustling city.

Ifran

Ifrane is one of the most striking settlements in Morocco, more reminiscent of a Swiss mountain village than the desert villages and Moorish architecture of its country.

The city’s modern aesthetic is largely due to the French colonial settlers, who built the city as a place to escape to during the hot summer months when Ifrane, high in the Atlas Mountains, is covered in snow.

In addition to its charming clusters of European-style chalets, the city impresses with its many gardens and parks, creating an oasis of opulence and tranquility in the bustle of Moroccan life.

Marrakech

In recent years, Marrakech, one of the most popular cities in Morocco, has become an attractive destination for those who want to experience the beauty of Moroccan history and culture.

The old city is renowned for its plethora of markets, with a labyrinth of alleyways and souks that provide unexpected discoveries at every turn, including fragrant spices, vibrant textiles, sparkling lamps, and jewelry.

The surrounding landscape around the city is equally breathtaking, whether you see the quicksand of the desert spreading out of the city or the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the distance.  A lot of people do this 3 days desert tour from Marrakech

Meknes

The historic city of Meknes is one of the many UNESCO World Heritage sites in Morocco, ranked for its unique combination of architectural styles, breathtaking monuments and well-preserved heritage.

The city is surrounded by fortress walls with nine gates providing entry to the city, each intricately decorated with tiles and arabesque patterns.

The city itself is filled with beauty, from the royal palace of Dar el-Mahzen to the many mosques, hammams, and gardens that adorn the streets, Spanish-Moorish styles demanding attention

Of course, these are not all the cities of Morocco worthy of attention, but their beauty, charm and culture will not leave anyone indifferent.

Ouarzazate – Game of Thrones in Morocco

Ouarzazate is especially worth visiting if you are a lover of mountain scenery. The city is located at the foot of the High Atlas. Atlas Studios is located here, so fans of productions such as “Gladiator” or “Cleopatra” will find something for themselves here. Ouarzazate is 200 kilometers from Marrakech, which seems close, but the route you have to take is quite challenging to say the least.

The road is winding and very beautifully situated, but there is no tarmac in many places, so you will need to be patient. On site, in addition to the film studio, we recommend visiting the traditional Moroccan settlements – the so-called ksars and kasbahs. A ksar is a fortified settlement made of clay and stone, typical of Berber settlements. The kasbah is a Moroccan fortress towering over the city.

A big attraction located a few dozen kilometers from Ouarzazate is the Kasbah Hajja Ait Ben-Haddou, also known as Ait Ben-Haddou (Ait Ben-Haddou). Fans of Game of Thrones will love it, as one of the scenes with the Mother of Dragons was filmed here (one of the best in our opinion, by the way!). As an attraction in this neck of the woods, we recommend a visit to Kasbah Amridil. For an overnight stay, we recommend the charming Ouarzazate Le Riad Hotel for its courteous service and delicious breakfast. Overall, we really enjoyed this part of Morocco! The contrast of the red dry cliffs with the green palm trees growing in the valleys was especially beautiful. We drove through small inconspicuous towns and watched the life of the locals with fascination.
