Discover Morocco

Marrakech and Fez have narrow old streets, busy souks, and mosques decorated with zellij tiles. Jemaa el-Fnaa square fills with musicians, storytellers, food vendors, and snake charmers. The Atlas Mountains hold Berber villages with their own language and traditions. Arab, Berber, African, and European influences meet here.

The Sahara Desert reaches into Morocco, where people ride camels on sand dunes. Essaouira is a windy coastal city with beaches and seafood. Meals include tagines, slow-cooked stews, plus couscous, mint tea, and sweet pastries.
