Awesome and enormous countrysides cover this piece of North Africa as the lavishly decorated blankets you will ask for in the markets, and Morocco’s cities are a few of the most fascinating on the African continent. 

Important places to explore in Morocco

Here are the most interesting places that you should visit in Morocco:

Fes

The medina of Fes is the most difficult labyrinth between all labyrinths. There is just one method to know it is to drive and descend straight ahead. Don’t be scared of missing out the way. Just go after the mass of people to lead you to one of the major pathways or simply ask a salesman to guide you to the right way. 

Your visit to Fes can be described as an adventure into the middle ages, the world of concealed places, mazes of workshops and colored markets. Don’t forget to check for and watch complex metalwork, richly engraved sandalwood, brilliant patchwork and curled Arabic handwriting.

Marrakesh

When you visit Marrakesh you will feel that it is taken out of a movie show. Whether we are talking about its captivating views or about its sounds that impress, frazzle and fascinate, doing as they have done for thousands of years. It still has the same charming effect. 

Cirques exhibitions can’t be compared to the most famous halqa “street theater”. You can find this theater in Marrakesh’s central spot, Jemaa el-Fnaa. Every day, Djemaa attracts a lot of people with its snake-loving entertainers and dentists with pulled teeth jugs. 

About dusk, 100 restaurant huts begin the world’s most powerful barbecue tournament. After dinner, Djemaa music lyric meetings get in progress. In such sessions, the contribution of the attendance is always urged and spare changing assures repetitions.

Chefchaouen

Sharp, sudden and paved, the  Instagrammable blue cleaned up roads of the medina of Chefchaouen roll down the mountainside in a scattering of red house tops, verandas made of wrought-iron and vivacious verbenas. You could be pleased just watching people while you are drinking a mint tea in the café which is crowded in the central square, being covered by an awesome red-colored Kasbah, or stroll down the river alley lane, go shopping the souks “markets”, walk to the Spanish Mosque on the mountain or even enter into the nearby Talassemtane National Park to discover and view the Rif Mountains. 

Tangier

For the first part of the 20th century, Tangier was one of the Mediterranean’s most world-wide tourist centers, famed for its luxurious hedonic exaggerations, but when it was restored to Morocco in 1956, it started to descend and change into an apparently severe declining. The tale is shifting now that capital is contributing in making luxurious novel ocean, hotels and block of flats are emerging near to the bay, and streets are being cleaned up. But it isn’t missed. Its louche airing valued of the Beat Generation. 10.

Essaouira

Quiet, cheerful, Essaouira is Morocco at its peak, it’s most peaceful and relaxed. It has long been a prosperous cultural diversity, and these days tourists are driven by its sweet city walls, postal card, lovely bay and massive ranges of golden shiny sand, where the powerful wind _known as alizee on a local level, brings out the perfect state for windsurfing and kite boarding, fashionable riads, healthy fish and enchanting art spectacle complete the vision. As any resident will inform you, Jimi Hendrix was a lover and you are compelled to fall in love with it, too. 11. 

Moulay Idriss Zerhoun

 Being called after Morocco’s blessed holy man, the sacred little town of Moulay Idris Zerhoun includes the mausoleum of Moulay Idris which is one of the most significant holy sites in the country. Actually, it wasn’t until 2005 that non-Muslims were allowed to spend the night there. It stretches over two hills, and whatever side of town you are on, the sights through the green tiling house tops and out to the continuous rolled countryside beyond, where olive orchards provide a sweet-smelling oil, are undoubtedly nice, mainly in the evening light. Searching for Morocco’s unique cylindrical round minaret. 12. 

Volubilis

Amazigh King Juba 2nd, whose wife was the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra, was placed at Volubilis by the Romans. The district turned into a prosperous flourishing agricultural area making olive oil, wheat and wine for the ancient Roman army. These days, you can still stay on the church steps, watch out over the same rich fields and look at his kingdom. A museum has launched, you can stroll properly without fear around this World cultural heritage site stopping to watch the impressive tiles. 

 Casablanca

If anyone says to you shouldn’t expect anything to discover in Casablanca apart from the Hassan 2nd Mosque, this means that they don’t know the city well enough. A unique, distinctive blend of neo-Moorish and art antique decorative designs that go back to the period of the 20th century, when Casablanca was the treasure of the French colonization , stuffing the center with attractive classical aesthetic carvings and impressive tiling work, in addition to post-independent, self-rule contemporary and post-modernist buildings. Some have been renovated to their previous magnificence and grandeur, while others are tragically abandoned. Come and take a guided tour group to explore this awesome historical site.

Skoura

Skoura’s charming palm orchard appears like a green blanket spanning across the Draa Valley. The grove is intersected by a net of filth roads and ancient Khettara “subterranean watering system” that assists amazing bounty of groceries that has continued generation after generation: tomatoes, mint, pomegranates, peaches, oranges, dates, figs, alfalfa and almond tree. Covered with historic adobe kasbahs, mazy Ksour ( walled villages) and fashionable hostels with restaurants that provide food from farm to your table. This what makes it the best place to stay and enjoy calm oasis life, hardly transformed and altered for ages. 

Draa Valley

Paths now grant and enable secure, fast way through the final reaches of old-fashioned caravan ways, lanes from Mali to Marrakesh, but beyond the stony cliffs viewed through car windows exists the Draa valley of desert, the aim of all traders. 

The blossomy, plumy date trees and admirable mud-brick palaces of Zagora, Tamnougalt, Timidarte and Agdz must in the past have appeared like a dream or an illusion after two months in the Sahara. 

Castles that once embraced gold-loaded caravans are now available to guests to stay at night and eat new fresh boufeggou dates, a cooked bread in earthy stoves and an exciting style of life. 

Tafraoute

It is a medley of pink houses and markets on streets with outstanding neighboring. The Ameln Valley is fraught with palmeraies and villages, and the upcoming mountains orchestrate dually, ochre and umber play of light, while the Ait Mansour Gorge is a grassy green breathing space to relax from the red rock. It makes an amazing basis for hobbies such as mountaineering, mountain bike and exploring ancient rock engravings. The granitic cliffs and oasis are so picturesque and breathtaking as if a Belgian artist used his brush to paint these cliffs with outcomes like dreams. 

High Atlas Mountains

They are the highest chain of mountains in North Africa. They are considered a heaven for hikers from the top to the bottom. The chain carries on diagonally through Morocco for nearly 620 miles (1000km), enclosing Marrakesh to the South and East from the Atlantic Coast north of Agadir to Khenifra in the northeast. 

Its dentate peaks serve as a weather boundary between the moderate Mediterranean weather to the north and Sahara to the south. If you are a lover of winter sports, you should go to Oukaimeden where snow drops down from September to May. Annual rivers that rush towards Marrakesh form a web of fruitful and productive valleys. 

Anti-Atlas Mountains

As un burnt, granitic chain guiding to the Sahara, the Anti -Atlas Mountains are left mostly undiscovered. The main attraction for adventurers is the crystal mountain range of Jebel El Kest, the “turquoise mountain” which you can hike to across the Ameln Valley. 

Livestock farming villages and collapsing Kasbahs are traced, detected near Jebel Aklim, another of the marvelous hiking options in this region of Amazigh. 

The land has enough diversity, fraught with palm valleys to dark gloomy volcanological Jebel Siroua, to explain several trekking.

Taroudant

The Souss Valley commercial town of Taroudant with sights of both the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas mountains has been called “small Marrakesh” for its red rock city walls that switch color with the light, but its crowded medina and calm souqs come without the city’s fuss. 

Come and discover the city walls by horse-pulled carriage and reach into the ancient Kasbah, slowing down and pausing at the Palais Salama previous Pasha’s castle changed into a worn off hotel, where you can walk around the decorated salons and Moorish parks in a very cheap price. 

Erg Chigaga

Get out of crowds of people and trot through the desert on a trusted Arabian camel, delighting in peace, the admirable sights and the camel’s sweetly swaying progress. Even if your camel came across leaves you sway backed, you’ll succeed to climb to the peak of an enormous sand dune at dusk and observe the desert switch gold, pink and purple. The stars have never appeared shiner, and with good cause: at Erg Chigaga, you’re not only off the wall, fence, but also many hours camel hiking from the closest street lights.

Mirleft

You can sail all along Morocco’s Atlantic coast, but one of the main beautiful spots to grab waves is Mirleft, a sleeping seaside town where the mountains face the Atlantic ocean with a chain of perfect wonderful, and often forsaken out of Moroccan touristic places, beaches and cheap hostels, it makes a quiet and less stormy choice to Essaouira. Low-price and cheap apparatus Spot-M carries and lifts expert and amateur sailors for class and private lessons and also leads a sailing training courses for one week with yoga in operation.
