Tetouan

Tetouan — the White Dove — is Morocco's most Andalusian city: rebuilt by Muslim and Jewish refugees who fled Granada after 1492, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 for its extraordinary Hispano-Moorish medina, and overlaid with a second layer of Spanish colonial architecture from the Protectorate era. Framed by the Rif foothills with Mediterranean beaches 10 kilometres away, Tetouan is one of northern Morocco's most complete and beautiful urban experiences.

Rabat

Rabat is Morocco's capital and one of its most pleasant cities — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Almohad towers, Merinid gardens, and a living medina, softened by Atlantic sea breezes and the elegant pace of a working governmental capital. Less hectic than Casablanca, less touristy than Marrakech, Rabat combines royal monuments, one of Morocco's finest kasbah complexes, outstanding museums, and a genuinely comfortable urban environment for exploration.

Casablanca

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and the beating heart of its economy — a dynamic metropolis where Art Deco boulevards, a thundering Atlantic coastline, and one of the world's most spectacular mosques coexist with a fast-paced modern urban life.

Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is Morocco's most visually bewitching small city — a mountain medina where centuries of Amazigh and Andalusian heritage are expressed through lanes, stairs, and archways washed in every shade of blue. Tucked into a fold of the Rif Mountains at 564 metres, it is a place to slow down, breathe mountain air, and get intentionally lost.

Meknes

Meknes is one of Morocco’s historic imperial cities, located in the north-central part of the country. The city is renowned for its ancient history and rich cultural heritage, having witnessed the succession of several civilizations and dynasties since ancient times. It reached the height of its prosperity during the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century, who made it the capital of the Alaouite dynasty and an important political and military center.

Fes

Fes is Morocco's most profound city — an immense, labyrinthine medieval medina that has been continuously inhabited for twelve centuries and is recognised by UNESCO as one of the world's greatest living heritage sites. Home to the world's oldest university, extraordinary tanneries, and a Jewish Mellah of remarkable age, Fes rewards those willing to get genuinely lost in its thousand-year-old streets.

Kenitra

Kenitra is northern Morocco's main agricultural port city — an industrial and commercial centre at the mouth of the Sebou River with a relaxed Atlantic seafront, a medieval kasbah at Mehdia, and excellent beaches that attract weekend visitors from Rabat and Sale. Less touristed than its neighbours, Kenitra rewards visitors who venture beyond the highway with river landscapes, fish markets, and genuine everyday Moroccan urban life.

Larache

Larache is one of northern Morocco's most charming small cities — an Atlantic port where Andalusian white medina lanes, Spanish colonial arcades, and a dramatic kasbah above the Loukkos estuary create a layered, literary atmosphere. Made famous to the wider world as the final home of French writer Jean Genet, Larache rewards slow exploration with Roman ruins at Lixus, empty Atlantic beaches, and an unhurried pace entirely its own.

Al-Hoceima

Al-Hoceima is a captivating coastal city nestled between the Rif Mountains and a brilliant blue Mediterranean bay. One of Morocco's least-touristed coastal destinations, it offers exceptional beaches, pristine national park waters, and a deeply felt Amazigh Rifian identity that distinguishes it from any other Moroccan city.

Nador

Nador is a lively Mediterranean port city in Morocco's northeastern Rif region, set between the Mediterranean coast and the vast Marchica lagoon. A working city with genuine urban energy, Nador rewards visitors with its magnificent lagoon landscape, a laid-back seafront, the beaches and rocky coves of the surrounding Cap des Trois Fourches peninsula, and a strong Amazigh cultural identity rooted in the Rif heartland.

Sefrou

Sefrou is a small, jewel-like medieval town in the Middle Atlas foothills south of Fes — a place of cherry orchards, a rushing mountain river through the medina, a beautifully preserved Jewish quarter, and an annual June Cherry Festival that draws visitors from across Morocco. One of the country's most perfectly preserved small medinas and a superb day trip or overnight stop from Fes.

Safi

Safi is Morocco's pottery capital and one of its great Atlantic fishing ports — a working coastal city of immense artisanal heritage, where the Hill of Potters has produced distinctive terracotta and glazed ceramics for centuries, Portuguese fortifications guard the old medina, and the world-class sardine fleet has made Safi a cornerstone of Morocco's fishing economy. A genuinely authentic destination far off the main tourist circuit.
