Beyond its ancient heritage, Morocco has an enchanting blend of modern luxury and an array of unforgettable experiences for travellers. During a six-day press trip, Guardian Life explored the rich culture, buzzing cities, and serene landscapes in Morocco.
Here are the top places and tourist destinations you should visit in Morocco – The Kingdom of Light.
Casablanca: The Modern Morocco
There would arguably be no match for a stunning city to give a traveller a glimpse into the beauty and serenity of a country than Casablanca did.
The Moroccan largest city was the perfect place to start and end our six-day trip. It is the dream destination for shopping. From arrival at Mohammed V International Airport, one is immediately struck by the city’s blend of modernity and tradition.
While Casablanca is a gateway to other amazing destinations in Morocco, it also offers plenty of attractions, including the stunning Hassan II Mosque and the bustling Morocco Mall.
Tangier: The Meeting Point Of Two Seas
Tangier is a city that perfectly illustrates Morocco’s unique position at the crossroads of Europe and Africa. A train journey from Casablanca presented a charming introduction to Morocco’s diverse landscapes.
A historic city brewing charm, Tangier – a new and old town known as Medina – boasts stunning coastal views to the comfort of dwellers and every traveler’s delight.
Tangier hosts the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Chefchaouen: The Blue City
Chefchaouen, known as the Blue City due to its distinctive blue-painted buildings, is a serene town nestled in the Rif Mountains. It offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of larger cities.
Walking through the narrow, winding streets, surrounded by calming blue hues, Chefchaouen gives the feel of stepping into a dream city. The views of the surrounding mountains added to the town’s enchanting atmosphere.
Marrakech: Morocco’s Culture Revealed
Marrakech houses a host of cultural heritages of the Moroccan history. One such is the Musée des Confluences, which showcases Morocco’s rich cultural heritage through its diverse exhibits.
A stroll through Jamaal El Fna Square showcased the vibrant life of Marrakech, with its lively markets, street performers, and tantalizing food stalls.
Without a doubt, Morocco is a land of contrasts and beauty, where every city and town has its own unique story told in charming beauty. From the historic streets of Tangier and the beauty of Chefchaouen to the vibrant energy of Marrakech and the modern allure of Casablanca, our trip to Morocco was nothing short of magical.
