Casablanca is the economic and financial capital of Morocco and a destination not always included in the tourist itineraries. Its highlight is undoubtedly the Hassan II Mosque, the largest mosque in Africa and the third-largest in the world, and the only one that can be visited in the whole country: a detail that should not be underestimated. Do not miss the medina and the “corniche” in Casablanca, especially in the evening.

Fes: its medina is declared a World Heritage Site UNESCO as it’s the largest and best-preserved one in the whole Islamic world. Impossible to orientate for those who are not used to it, the references are lost in a few minutes. The narrow alleys of Fès host all kinds of local crafts while its tanneries are a place not to be missed, capable of transporting you back in time.

Chefchaouen is the blue pearl of Morocco, so beautiful that it doesn’t seem real. Nestled in the Rif mountains it is difficult to access. Chefchaouen is one of the country’s less Moroccan cities, it looks more like a mix between Greece and Andalusia. The center develops around Uta Al-Hammam Square, which houses the Grand Mosque and the Kasbah.

Capo Spartel is another nice stop for anyone who is taking a tour on the North coast. Beautiful panorama from this location, in the distance you can see the coasts of Spain, the beautiful lighthouse symbol of Morocco, and the meeting between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Here the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean join easily.

The fortified city of Asilah is located on the northwestern tip of Morocco, 42 kilometers south of Tangier. Today it is a rather recognized tourist destination, but despite the influx of tourists, the Medina retains its charm. The alleys are narrow, the houses all white and blue, many of these decorated and embellished by local artists. Asilah boasts a great culture and artistic tradition and every summer a street art festival is organized to repaint the walls of the Medina. The result is a colorful open-air museum.

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V in Rabat is a masterpiece of classical Arab – Andalusian style according to traditional Moroccan art, made between 1961 and 1971, with the project of the Vietnamese architect Eric Vo Toan, with the masterful work of 400 craftsmen. The exterior of the Mausoleum is covered with very white Carrara marble and covered with a green pyramidal roof, like the interior of the star on the Moroccan flag.
