Destinations 01

Casablanca

Morocco's economic capital pairs Art Deco boulevards with ocean-side living, and is home to the monumental Hassan II Mosque.

Highlights: Hassan II Mosque · Art Deco walk · Corniche

Rabat

Morocco's elegant capital on the Atlantic: the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the blue-and-white lanes of the Kasbah of the Udayas and a calm, green city made for walking.

Highlights: Hassan Tower · Kasbah of the Udayas · Chellah

Destinations 03

Tangier

Where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, just across the strait from Spain. Explore the white medina and its kasbah, sip mint tea at a historic café and watch the waves at the Caves of Hercules.

Chefchaouen

Tucked into the Rif Mountains, the Blue Pearl is all blue-washed lanes, mountain air and an easy, unhurried pace.
