  Casablanca
  Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco and the country`s commercial and social epicenter. The Romans founded a settlement called `Anfa`, and within a short time it quickly became one of the most noteworthy ports in North Africa. The French influence on Casablanca is undeniable and is on display in the tree-lined avenues south of the Old Medina. The Old Medina and La Corniche, two compact areas full of adventure and surprises, are popular tourist attractions.

  Marrakech
  Marrakech has a long and storied history tied to the tragedies and triumphs of the sultans and kings of Morocco. Along with Fez, Meknes and Rabat, Marrakech was one of the four `imperial capitals of Morocco`. The heart of the fortified Old City is an area called The Medina, filled with historical buildings and great shopping opportunities at the myriad souqs. The Medina, along with Menara Gardens and Agdal Gardens, have all been named UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The thriving center of town is the Jemaa el-Fna, which explodes with activity and color after nightfall. Marrakech is also a jumping-off point for tourists to explore the beautiful Atlas Mountains.

  Fez
  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.

  Agadir
  Agadir is Morocco's premier coastal resort arranged along a magnificent bay of golden sand. It is a modern city, showcasing a progressive Moroccan urban style. Its biggest attractions are its holiday facilities and its year-round sunshine. Agadir has relatively few tourist sights, but the markets, fishing port and brand new marina are worth a look and golfers have three courses to choose from. There's part of the original fortress which is at the top of the hill beside the city, over the huge painting. The small zoo, called "Vallée des Oiseaux" hosts birds from all over the world, some goat-like animals from the Atlas, and even exotic mammals. Take a day trip to Paradise Valley - a beautiful palm-lined gorge leading to mountain trails to Berber villages and the seasonal waterfalls of Immouzer des Ida Outanane (at their best in spring).
• Ait Benhaddou

  Ait Benhaddou
  Aït Benhaddou is a ksar, or a fortified village, built entirely out of native earthen clay, which was one of the key links on the trans-Saharan trade route from Marrakech. It was built in the 11th century due to its strategic position on a hillside next to the Ounila River. Once housing everyone who lived in the area, the ksar is now home only to a few families, with most townspeople living in the valley. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is open to tourists, giving glimpses and flickers of authentic Berber life still being lived to this day.

• Asilah

  Asilah
  Asilah is a oft-overlooked historic gem located on the Atlantic coast just 20 miles south of Tangier. The Almohad dynasty built the city walls and the Portuguese, who called this city Arzila, strengthened the defenses to what you see today. The medina of Asilah has a distinct Portuguese feel as most buildings date from the colonial era. Asilah is a popular seaside resort, and tens of thousands of wealthy Moroccans vacation here each year. The delicious dishes of Asilah are a fusion of Moroccan, Portuguese, and Valencian cuisines.
