✨ Must-sees in Morocco

The real must-sees in Morocco go beyond the postcard spots. These are the places locals point visitors toward once the obvious sights are out of the way.

In Morocco, must-sees comes down to a few things: fes el-bali, the atlas mountains, and chefchaouen.

Fes el-Bali

The world's largest car-free urban area. 9,000 streets, working tanneries, medieval mosques. It's overwhelming, beautiful, and smells like leather and cedar.

The Atlas Mountains

Berber villages, terraced valleys, and North Africa's highest peaks. Imlil is the base for Toubkal treks. Day trips from Marrakech are easy.

Chefchaouen

The blue city in the Rif Mountains. Every building is painted blue. It's photogenic and peaceful. Try the goat cheese and local kif culture (legal grey area — be careful).
