Ait Bouguemez
Icht
Tiznit
Ait Benhaddou Ait Benhaddou Located in Ouarzazate, this recognized UNESCO site is considered the most outstanding Kasbahs in Morocco. Ait Benhaddou is made up of 60 individual Kasbahs, and shows a perfect example of pise clay architecture. This picturesque Kasbah is best shot at sunrise or sunset, when you get the perfect golden rays that set across the village.
Marrakech Marrakech Marrakech, known as the "Pearl of the South," is an oasis in southwestern Morocco at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, with rose-colored ramparts and a thousand year old palm grove. Sumptuous and exuberant, it radiates splendor and mysticism and casts a magic spell on all who visit. Marrakesh has the largest berber market (souk) in Morocco and also hosts the busiest square in Africa. Founded in 1062 as the capital of the Almoravid dynasty, it continued in the 12th century as capital of the Almohads. Marrakech remained a political, economic and cultural center for a long period. Its influence was felt throughout the western Muslim world, from North Africa to Andalusia. Marrakech also became known as a magnet for some of the greatest saints of Islam, many of whom are buried within the city. Marrakech, like Fez, is a genuinely Islamic city in both its genesis and traditions. Marrakech has impressive monuments dating from that period: the Koutoubiya Mosque, the Kasbah, the battlements, monumental doors and gardens. Other architectural jewels include the Bandia Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Saadian Tombs and Place Jamaa El Fna, an open-air theater. The modern city was constructed in 1913 during the French occupation of the country and reflects the European influence. But the essence of the city remains the same.	Destination Guide
Bin El Ouidane
Khenifra
Chefchaouen Chefchaouen This picturesque town 50 mi/80 km southeast of Tangier in the Rif Mountains has more atmosphere than sights. Walk around the small medina with its light-blue-painted walls and drink tea at the main plaza. The main sight is the casbah with its enclosed garden and small museum. The town hosts the annual Alegria Festival, a music festival that draws numerous visitors to enjoy the special backdrop for concerts. A half-day stop or a one-night stay is sufficient.	Destination Guide
Tetouan Tetouan Sometimes dubbed "the little sister of Fez," Tetouan makes for a relaxing and interesting day trip. Like Fez, it has both a new town (ville nouvelle) and an old town (medina). The ville nouvelle has some nice Spanish colonial architecture, but the whitewashed, hillside medina is the main area for sightseeing. The architecture there was strongly influenced by Jewish and Muslim immigrants who were forced out of Spain in the 15th and 17th centuries. Various crafts (leather, textiles, woodwork) are sold primarily along Rue El-Mokadem. The Musee Archeologique has ancient Roman and Muslim artifacts, and the Musee d'Art Marocain displays furnishings, costumes and musical instruments in a beautifully renovated courtyard villa. A one-night stay in Tetouan is sufficient, or you can stay longer and make it a base for exploring the nearby Mediterranean coast and Rif Mountains, but that is best left to those with plentiful time in the region. Tetouan is 35 mi/57 km southeast of Tangier.	Destination Guide
Zagora Zagora Visit historical sites and learn about the fascinating history of Zagora, located in southeastern Morocco in the Draa River valley. Enjoy views of the mountain Zagora, from which the town got its name.	Destination Guide
Fes (Fez) Fes (Fez) Fes (Fez) has been the capital of Morocco for more than 400 years and is home to the oldest university in the country and the leading cultural and religious center. Fes is also the home of the oldest and largest medieval city in the world, a city that has remained almost unchanged through the modern ages and still very alive. Today Fes has its own culture, pride, art and cuisine. Bustling with artisans and merchants, its captivating sounds, fragrances and colors mesmerize the visitor with a constant swirl of activity.	Destination Guide
Tangier Tangier The "Gateway to Africa," located at its northwestern tip, Tangier is a fashionable resort retaining its age-old mystery and excitement. French and Islamic influences meet and merge in this fascinating old city. Mosques and minarets overlook the shadowy streets of the bazaar, while the higher part of town, with its broad boulevards and lovely parks, looks down on the ocean.	Destination Guide
