Morocco
Morocco is Europe's gateway to Africa, where Arab, Berber, Spanish, French, and other influences converge over centuries of history in the world's longest-lived kingdom. Morocco offers vacation experiences for everyone; spend some time in Casablanca, the country's largest city, before experiencing the four imperial capitals of Morocco, the towns of the Rif mountains, and the beautiful Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines.
Spain
Spain is one of the most popular countries in the world for tourists, and the experiences you can have while on vacation here can be just as varied as you are. The best way to experience Spanish life today is to visit one of its largest cities, such as Madrid, the country`s capital; Barcelona, its second city; and provincial capitals such as Seville and Valencia. Andalucia, the epicenter of Moorish rule in Spain, is known for its beautiful landmarks such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Alhambra. The north of the country features such varying experiences as Catholic pilgrimages in Galicia, skiing in the Pyrenees, and immersing yourself in the culture of the gorgeous Basque Country. For beach vacations, Spain is tops, from the Costa del Sol to the Balearic islands of Ibiza and Mallorca to the Canary Islands.

Madrid
In the last few years, Madrid has gained the reputation of being one of Europe's most active and attractive cities for its nightlife and cultural activities. Capital of Spain since 1562, Madrid's museums host, among others, Dalis, Miros and Picasso's Guernica. Madrid is a city of great contrasts: the Old City, the Madrid of the Hapsburgs, the Royal Palace, the Puerta de Alcala, the Retiro Park. At night, the city changes gears with its famous Madrid nightlife. The city's endless energy is hard to resist, and its sociable style invites you to jump right in.
Visit Palacio Real, Plaza Mayor, Prado Museum, Puerta del Sol, Puerta de Alcala, Plaza de Cibeles, Gran Via, Madrid Cathedral, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofia Museums and so much more! -
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.
Explore and enjoy The Medina, Agdal Gardens, Menara Gardens, Koutoubia Mosque, La Palmeraie, Gueliz, Jemaa el-Fna, Jardin Majorelle, Palais de la Bahia, and so much more. -
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.
Visit and explore the Essaouira Medina, Skala de la Kasbah, Mellah, Plage d'Essaouira, Plage de Tagharte, Diabat, Quartier des Dunes, and so much more. -
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.
Visit Hassan II Mosque, Place des Nations Unies, Arab League Park, La Corniche, Plage Ain Diab, Morocco Mall, Bouskoura Forest, Mohammedia, Rick's Café, The Old Medina, and so much more. -
Tangier
Tangier is a fascinating Moroccan city, with a mysterious air, an interesting history, breathtaking views, unspoiled beaches, and friendly people. Climb on the top of the hill on which Tangier is built; you will have the chance to see two continents at once. Also, take some time to visit the Tangier American Legation - the oldest American overseas legation. Another interesting sight is the Kasbah Museum, the former Sultan's palace. It deserves to be seen not only for its collection of artifacts from the Phoenician to modern times, but also for the building and garden.
Visit Kasbah Museum, Tangier American Legation, Ancien Medina, Dar el-Makhzen, Place Petit Socco, Park Rmilat, Caves of Hercules, Church of St. Andrew, Gran Teatro Cervantes, Grand Mosque, Playa Blanca, Tomb of Ibn Battuta, and so much more!
