  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).

  Essaouira
  Essaouira, formerly known by the name Mogador, is a city situated on Morocco`s Atlantic coast. The Old Town of Essaouira is situated on a clifftop protected along the coast by ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah; here you will find Essaouira`s Medina and the Mellah (Jewish Quarter). Essaouira thrived in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became Morocco`s first world-class seaport. The sea is still important to the city`s economy today as a tourist destination. Southeast of the Medina, there are two beaches, Plage d`Essaouira and Plage de Tagharte, which are popular with all types of visitors, from sunbathers to professional surfers. Essaouira and the nearby village of Diabat are very well-known for their shared `hippie culture`, popularized as a result of Jimi Hendrix`s 1969 visit to the area.
