Top 5 Places to Visit in Northern Morocco
Back in the fall of 2013, I visited Morocco for the second time and spent five days exploring the northern part of the country. We based ourselves out of the city of Tangier and took day trips to visit all of the places you’re going to see in this video. In this video, I’m going to walk you through the top 5 places to visit in northern Morocco. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Asilah, which is located about thirty kilometers south of Tangier, or roughly a forty-minute drive. This former Phoenician settlement dates back to 15oo B.C., and in its history has been a part of both Portugal and Spain in addition to Morocco most recently. Asilah is a fortified town, and its bastions, ramparts, and gate works are still fully intact. The bastions give the town a unique, secluded feel, and are the perfect place to catch Asilah’s spectacular sunsets. Asilah hosts annual music, arts, and culture festivals, including the International Festival, which features art exhibitions and jazz and Moroccan music, and a world-famous mural-painting festival.
Caves of Hercules, also known as Les Grottes d’Hercule. Located about 14 kilometers west of Tangier, or about 30 minutes by car, these caves are steeped in legend. According to legend, these grottos are where the mythological hero rested after he completed the twelve labors that ensured his immortality. Inside, these partially man-made caves are massive, and you can walk through to many other caves. Much of the cavern’s interior was created while quarrying for millstone, which left marks that are still visible. The cave’s most distinctive feature is its opening to the sea, the Map of Africa, which resembles the continent of Africa in reverse and changes color throughout the day as the tides shift and the time changes.
Chefchaouen, known as “Morocco’s Blue City,” which gets its nickname from the beautiful, blue-tinged buildings that the city is well-known for. Chefchaouen’s Medina, or old Arab quarter, is a colorful and vibrant labryinth of narrow streets and alleys that is best explored by simply getting lost and wandering on foot, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. If you want to avoid the tourist traps of the main square when you’re ready to eat, check out Tissemlal Restaurant in the Casa Hassan Hotel. It serves up mouthwatering local foods for reasonable prices, and is perfect for groups of all sizes.
Tangier, my home base during my time in northern Morocco. Beyond the gates of the medina, you’ll find hundreds of winding cobblestone streets, along which you’ll find lots of shops, open markets, restaurants, tea shops, and hotels. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes; the street layout is complex and there are some uphill climbs. At some point, take a few minutes to kick back with a mint tea and do some people watching at one of Tangier’s open-air cafes. Cafe culture is king in Tangier! For a pair of great souvenirs, buy a jalaba, which is a traditional jalaba gown, and traditional leather balghas, which are high-quality, heelless slippers that come in a variety of colors. If you can’t make it to the Sahara, I suggest going to Tangier Beach and spending 5 Euros to go on a thirty-minute camel ride. The ride is bumpy, but worth it! For the best dining in the city, I highly recommend Riad Tanja, which features live music every night and serves delicious moroccan tangines in an intimate dining space, and El Morocco Club, where you’ll eat mouthwatering Moroccan fusion cuisine.
Tetouan, one of Morocco’s two major ports on the Mediterranean, which lies just a few miles south of the Strait of Gibraltar and sixty kilometers east-southeast of Tangier. The city’s Berber name literally translates to “the eyes.” Tetouan’s medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site. There, you can find craftsmen like jewelers, weavers, and leather workers, and street vendors who try to sell carpets to tourists. Another point of interest in the city is the Royal Palace, which sits along a public square near one of the entrances to the medina.

Welcome to Tangier, Morocco! We started off our trip visiting the square of the ninth of April, one of the biggest squares in the city. We explored the old medina before stopping to shop for a jalaba and the traditional Moroccan sandals.
Next up we headed to Tangier beach to ride a camel. It cost about 5 euro per person for a 30 minute ride along the beach. If you don't make it down to the Sahara you should definitely try to ride a camel in Tangier.
There is two restaurants I recommend when in Tangier, Riad Tanja and the El Morocco Club. Riad Tanja, has live music every night and serves some delicious moroccan tangines. El Morocco Club serves more of a gourmet fusion Moroccan cuisine mixed with a few other cuisines.
This is Dar Nour Guest House, one of the few properties located in the Kasbah. It's a boutique bed and breakfast, they have 10 rooms and they have 3 terraces on the roof top with a 360 degree view of Tangier.

Town of Tetouan, (Morocco) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Town of Tetouan in Tetouan, Morocco -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Near the northernmost tip of Morocco, looking towards Spain, is the beautiful Arabic town of Tetouan.
The buildings of the town are mostly white and reflect the traditional architecture of the area.
Tetouan has been populated since the third century BC, and was later built into a city sometime in the 14th century.
The area has been a confluence of many cultures, and as such French, Spanish, Jewish, and Arabic influences can be seen throughout the town.
Throughout the town are many mosques, churches, synagogues, and other places of religious reverence, which serve as a testament to the tolerance of this community.
UNESCO has declared Tetouan's old town to be an official World Heritage Site, because of its historical homes and buildings.

Morocco Travel Guide: Marrakech, Atlas Mountains and Essaouira
On this trip you’ll be heading to Marrakech, the heart of Morocco, where spices linger in the market air, the sun sets on street performers, and the senses are treated to a whirlwind of sights and sounds. Discover life in the sprawling medina or get lost in the alleyways towards the souqs. Marvel at the tilework found in the royal Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said or learn how ancient traditions are woven into the fabric of Marrakech; there’s more than one way to fall in love with this cosmopolitan city.
Morocco is a North African country renowned for diversity, and this is one of the things that make it such a fascinating destination to visit. It’s a place where one will find many cultural influences, and the landscape offers visitors a chance to experience the ocean, Atlas Mountain peaks and the Sahara Desert all in one go. You might be travelling to one country, but in Morocco, there is a whole world to explore.
In Essaouira discover how coastal winds and different tribes can shape a port city. It’s a melting pot with Arab, Berber and European influences. While the sea attracts windsurfers, culture vultures flock to the medina’s alleyways for galleries and a spot of people watching. The vibrancy found in the country’s cities is matched by life in the Middle Atlas Mountains, where visitors can swap people watching and fortified walls for hiking, folk music and stargazing.
Observe nomadic shepherds, hike through limestone river canyons, enjoy impressive views and Berber hospitality and warmth as you make Midelt your basecamp for the Middle Atlas Mountains. As the sun goes down on the soaring peaks, the stars will light up the skies.
If we’ve inspired you to explore this north African country further, head over to TourRadar for all the different ways you can discover a world of flavour, culture and history in Morocco.
