Morocco’s Attractions

The attractions of Morocco are located in its 3 primary mountain ranges - the middle, high, and anti-Atlas - and the Sahara. Touring in the High Atlas is especially popular. But anyway visit Morocco's great old cities. Tangiers and Casablanca are still fascinating. And they are finally much less appealing than the ancient imperial cities of the interior: Fez, Meknes, and Marrakech.

Marrakech, also dubbed the “red city”, is framed by its own wall and the grander wall of the High Atlas Mountains. Marrakech is a city with rich cultural heritage and history, offers many interesting sites, colorful souks (markets), and is regarded as a city of gardens. The marketplace is filled with snake charmers, storytellers and acrobats during the day and transforms into a vivid carnival of musicians, clowns and street entertainers and vendors in the evening.

Todra Valley is an extremely vivid, cleft cut from sheer rock that towers hundreds of feet high.

”Trail Of A Thousand Kasbahs” is the driving way from Skoura to the Dades Valley, for over 40 miles passing hundreds of ancient kasbahs, that evidence that this was a very busy part of the old-world salt and gold trade route from Timbuktu.

Fez is famous as one of the best preserved medieval cities in the world and considered to be Morocco's intellectual and spiritual center. Fez tends to exist balancing in time somewhere between the Middle Ages and the modern world. The city was declared by UNESCO to be one of the world's cultural World Heritage treasures.

Touring in the High Atlas is unrivaled experience. Visitors will be rewarded with some of the most spectacular scenery and views in Africa. Morocco's highest mountain, the summit of Jebel Toukbal, offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding country.

The Sahara boasts of romantic sceneries of vast unending sands, charming desert oasis, and of course the sheltering sky. The most extreme way to get away from it all is to set off across the great desert. Though Morocco offers a glimpse of Saharan dunes at the southern extremity of the lovely Draa Valley, it is also a suitable starting point for a trip to the Grand Erg Occidental (the western sand sea of the Sahara) in western Algiers.
