Marrakech

Marrakech is home to some of Morocco's most famous monuments, including Bahia Palace, El Badi Palace, the Saadian Tombs, Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Almoravid Qubba.

But the city's heritage can also be discovered throughout the Medina, its souks, gardens and traditional artisan workshops.

Fez

Fez is one of Morocco's great historical and cultural centres.

Within Fez el-Bali, madrasas, mosques, funduqs and traditional workshops reflect centuries of history.

The city is also an essential destination for discovering Moroccan craftsmanship, including zellige, ceramics, carved wood and traditional leatherwork.

Rabat, Salé and Meknes

Rabat and Salé

Located on opposite banks of the Bouregreg River, Rabat and Salé offer a remarkable concentration of Moroccan heritage.

The Kasbah of the Oudayas, Hassan Tower, Chellah and the historic monuments of Salé provide an insight into different periods of Moroccan history.

Meknes

A former imperial capital, Meknes preserves a rich architectural heritage closely associated with the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail.

Its monumental gates, walls and historic sites also make the city an excellent starting point for discovering Volubilis.

Tangier, Tetouan and Chefchaouen
