Morocco

There’s no shortage of animation while in Morocco. Your journey’s beginning will probably find you in the coastal city of Casablanca — made famous by the classic film of the same name — where you can visit the second largest mosque in the world, and admire Mauresque and Art Deco landmarks. Surf enthusiasts will revel at the chance to catch a wave in Essaouira, where windy shores and soft water breaks create the ideal condition for hanging ten. Other popular destinations include Agadir, Tangier, Fes, and Rabat, where organized chaos fill the streets and life is centered around the maze-like medinas. Marrakech, often referred to as the Red City, is a tourist hot-spot— and for a good reason. With its boisterous main square and proximity to desert excursions, the hub provides a digestible culture shock for first-time visitors.
