Fez is one of the best sights in the world. It is famous for its ancient walled city, often compared to the walled city of Jerusalem. The whole old city of Fez has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The immense medina of Fes-l-Bali (the old city) is a huge labyrinth. Lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of the various markets, and find your way out once you have had enough of all the sights, sounds, and smells that will overwhelm your senses. You should at least try to find the Medersa Attarine, the Medersa Cherratine and Medersa Seffarine, three stunning old buildings near the center of the maze. The other thing you shouldn't miss is the people at work in the median: coppersmith, tanners, and dyers. The view from the hills surrounding the old city is breathtaking - there are two fortresses overlooking the old city, the Borj Nord which contains an armaments museum, and the Borj Sud, which is being developed for tourism.

Cities in Morocco:
X
Casablanca
Immortalised through the famous Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman movie and forever associated with honorary citizen Sir Winston Churchill, Casablanca is a vibrant metropolis, a blend of western modernity and Arabic tradition. The most important tourist attraction is the awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque - one of the largest in the world and the largest in Morocco, and with the tallest minaret on the planet. It is one of the two main mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims. It has a beautiful interior completed with water features, a roof that opens to the sky and beautiful tile work. Other interesting sights are: the Old Medina - a small traditional walled town in the north of Casablanca, and the Shrine of Sidi Abderrahman - built on a rock off shore, accessible only at low tide. The shrine itself is off-limits to non-Muslims, but visitors are permitted to explore the tiny, medina-like neighborhood that has sprung up around it.

Marrakech
The core of the Berber culture, Marrakech is a fascinating city, offering several historical, architectural sites and some interesting museums. One of the most important tourist attraction is the Jemaa el Fna, Morocco's UNESCO-recognised platform for halqa (street theatre). Musicians, dancers, and story tellers pack this square at the heart of the medina (old city). Towering over the scene is the stately Koutoubia minaret, a simbol of the Hispano-Mauresque architecture. Afterwards, relax in the Majorelle Gardens admiring the collection of plants from across the globe. Inside the gardens you will find the Museum of Islamic Art, that is also well worth a visit. Don't miss the Dar Si Said Museum, housing a wide range of artifacts from Morocco including a collection of popular art: carpets, clothing, pottery, wood carvings and ceramics, and El Bahia palace with its nice garden.
