Morocco is a land of contrasts, between nature and culture and between the varied terrain of the sea, the desert and the mountains. Go to Marrakesh and revel in the “Red City”, the Koutoubia gardens and the renowned, Festive Jemaa El Fna Square. From there, set your sights on Fes or Meknes, but don’t overlook the great sites along the way: Azilal, Beni Mellal, the Ouzoud waterfalls, Lake Bin El Ouidane and Ifrane, known as “Little Switzerland” because of its architecture and cedar forest. Enjoy the imperial cities by walking through the Fes medina and passing through Bab Mansour Gate in Meknes. Then tour the famous ruins at Volubilis just a few miles away.
