5 Most beautiful cities in Morocco

Morocco is overflowing with beauty as reiterated by these stunning cities.

Morocco is one of those countries that take your breath away from the very first step. With miles of beaches, mountain ranges and barren lands, the country is filled with colour, charm and warmth.

Below we give you some beautiful cities in this country you must visit.

Asilah

Located on the Atlantic coast of northern Morocco, Asilah is known for its cleanest, most cared for and long beaches. It is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Morocco with a rich history dating back to the 16th century BC. The modern-day Asilah is a combination of the successive cultures and society that left their mark in the city. We recommend visiting the city during summer, as it hosts international festivals at that time.

Marrakech

Also known as the Red City, Marrakech is a walled city full of palaces making it the perfect destination for those looking to dive into the beauty of Moroccan history and culture. They have abundant markets and a maze of alleys, which house new treasures like colourful textiles, sparkling jewellery, aromatic spices and more. Do not miss the JemaaelFna Square, the central square in the city.

Taroudant

Taroudant is a beautiful older Berber city with a rich heritage. The town gained its popularity back in the 16th century becoming an important town for culture and trade of spices, cotton and rice. Even today, the 16th-century walls and mosque stand intact and the old souks continue to display handcrafted items by local artisans. It is still one of the most popular markets in the entire country.

Chefchaouen

Located in the north of Morocco, Chefchaouen is a small city adorned with blue houses set against the backdrop of rough brown and green mountain scenery.  Founded in 1471, the old part of the town is influenced by Andalusian and Islamic architecture, from its blue-washed walls to the iconic keyhole-shaped doorways. Also, the people are extremely friendly so expect some sweet hospitality in the city.

Rabat

Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is another beautiful city to visit. It has year-round good weather combined with tranquil beaches, guaranteeing an exquisite experience. The new part of the city has outdoor cafes and wide boulevards. But the old town has fortified walls adding a distinct charm to the city.
