CASABLANCA

Morocco’s capital and largest harbor. It is also the Maghreb’s most populous city. Development and modernity are represented by economic, industrial, and financial capital.
Casablanca is home to the Moroccan government and large industrial complexes. The city has a significant modern architectural heritage as a result of the architectural diversity it experienced during the twentieth century.
There are some noteworthy tourist attractions, such as seeing the Great Mosque Hassan II, the Old Medina, the colonial city, or Marif Gautier, which features a mix of classic and contemporary architecture.

FEZ

Along with Marrakech, Meknes, and Rabat, it is considered one of the four “imperial cities.” It is regarded as the country’s religious and cultural heart. The city is divided into three zones: Fez el-Bali, the old zone within the city walls, Fez el-Jdid, the new zone, which includes the Mellah, the Jewish district, and Ville Nouvelle (New Town), the French zone in the city’s northwest. The greatest of the city’s two medinas, Fès el-Bali, is the world’s largest pedestrian zone and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.

RABAT

The fourth Imperial city, located on Morocco’s Atlantic coast in the northwest, is the result of a synthesis of Arab-Muslim tradition and Western modernism. UNESCO designated the city’s historical center, which contains the main buildings and squares, as a World Heritage Site in 2012. The Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohamed V, the Kasbah, and the city’s medina are just a few of the attractions in Rabat.

MEKNES

It’s a city in northern Morocco that sits at the foot of the Middle Atlas Mountains, surrounded by a lush green valley. Meknes is the capital of the Fes-Meknes region, and one of the four imperial cities of Morocco designated as World Heritage by UNESCO for its representative character as an urban and architectural complex of a seventeenth-century Maghreb capital that harmoniously combines elements of Islamic and European design and planning.

MARRAKECH

It’s one of the four imperial Moroccan cities and the square Jamaa el Fan, has been declared Oral Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The city is an important cultural center where important festivals of cinema, music and crafts stand out. Likewise, there is an atmosphere of greater tolerance than in other parts of the country. Marrakech is a chaotic, picturesque, fun, beautiful and undoubtedly unique city.

ESSAOUIRA

It is a Moroccan port city on the western Atlantic coast that is also known by its previous name of Mogador.
Apart from being a walled coastal city with magnificent sandy beaches and naturalistic treasures aplenty, it is also a walled city with a rich history. Its distinct seafaring aroma, wealth of craftsmen and culture, as evidenced by the presence of woodworking workshops, painting studios, exhibitions, art galleries, and musicians, as well as the provincial character of a small city that, despite everything, does not cease to be one, all contribute to its unique appeal.

THE DESERT ; Erg Chebbi and Erg Chegaga

Spectacular visit, the dunes of Erg Chebbi reach a height of up to 150 meters in some places and extend over an area of 50 km from north to south and 10 km from east to west covering the border with Algeria.
It is one of the most famous in Morocco. With its fine orange sand, its dunes famous for the passage of the Paris-Dakar rally, you can visit its extensive dunes on the back of camels and sleep in haimas under the stars, in the company of Berber hospitality
At the entrance to the desert we find the villages of Hassi-Labiad and Merzouga to connect with a wonderful culture.

THE ATLAS

The Atlas Mountains are a mountain range that runs for 2,400 km in Northwest Africa. Its highest peak is the Toubkal, at 4165 m, southwest of Morocco and is divided into the Anti-Atlas, Middle Atlas and High Atlas. We can visit small villages of adobe and clay, with their quiet and silent streets. The enormous gorges and their valleys full of streams and palms, landscapes of photographs, that open us to a circuit of Kasbahs, Berber villages, artisan cooperatives of oil of argan or waters of roses.The options are many and all punishable.

CHEFCHAOUEN

This city is considered a “Holy City”, its narrow cobbled streets full of small craft shops, its houses painted in blue and white, and its welcoming and friendly inhabitants with an eternal smile are worth visiting.
It has several places that we must not miss like the Medina, the Plaza Hamman, the Great Mosque, the Alcazaba or Casba, the washhouses or the old mosque, which we can reach after a pleasant 30 minute walk from the washhouses and the river that have been located at one of the gates of the medina.
The Hammam of detro of the medina: in which it is possible to try a steam bath for a few euros. It is located next to the Hotel La Castellana and the old caravanserai, currently occupied by small tents and craftsmen.
