Top Things To See

Morocco

Saharan sand dunes
Witness the dazzling, shape-shifting dunes of the Sahara at Merzouga, where the next stop across the sands is the legendary Timbuktu.

Djemaa el-Fna
Marvel at the non-stop drama in the Djemaa el-Fna, the UNESCO-listed public square in the medina of Marrakech. See henna-painters, potion-sellers, snake-charmers and acrobats by day. At night, witness storytellers, Gnaoua musicians, cross-dressing belly dancers and the world's biggest alfresco restaurant.

Scenic landscapes
Boggle your mind with the spectacular outer-space landscapes of the Todra Gorge, reached through the dramatic Dades Valley carpeted with wild roses in spring.

Fes
Unravel the mystery of Fes, the refined ancient centre of sacred learning and imperial power. Labyrinthine streets are anchored by the soaring minarets of the Al-Qarawiyin and Al-Andalus mosques (not open to visitors) and centuries of history captured at the Dar Batha Museum.

Art at Asilah
Take in the art colony charms of seaside Asilah on the Atlantic coast where whitewashed walls are a ready canvas for colourful murals. Visit its delightful beaches, museums and quiet streets.

Essaouira
This charming seaside town is laced with history. Explore the historic medina, dotted with art galleries and enjoy fresh fish in the local restaurants. Strong winds make it a having for windsurfers.

Roman remains
Explore the third-century Roman ruins at Volubilis, which are on UNESCO's World Heritage list. A nearby archaeological museum preserves the area's Jewish, Berber and Roman past.

Chefchaouen
Mellow out in the blue-tinged medina of Chefchaouen, where Moroccan archways harmonise with Andalusian architecture.

Casablanca
Wander the streets of Casablanca's whitewashed old-town and admire its faded Moroccan art deco glories, from wrought-iron geometric arabesque gates to faded movie palaces.

Tangier
Flashback to the decadent Bohemian days of Tangier in the Grand Socco and Petit Socco, where writers like Paul Bowles, Beat poets and rock stars like the Rolling Stones found inspiration.
