Results for Morocco History

Marrakesh is not thought of as a "history" city as much as it is a gold mine of aesthetically pleasing sites. However, history can be found at every corner around the old city - called the Medina. If you're looking for a great guide to the historic sites of Marrakesh's old city! A few notes about this guide - the sites at the top start at the southern end of the Medina and work their way north. Additionally, there is a good mix of preserved sites and restored site - the Moroccan government and other private institutions have restored some sites to their full glory. While it may seem less "historically accurate", these preserved sites are just as worthwhile to visit. NOTE: I cannot verify sites will not be closed due to the earthquake. I have added some links to donate to charities assisting relief efforts in Morocco below.

I love Tangier. In a country where "relaxing" and "cities" don't usually mix, the Mediterranean air, sandy beaches, and craggy cliffs gives Tangier a certain laissez-faire vibe that Marrakesh, Fez, or Casablanca could only dream of. I like to say it's as though Morocco, France, and Spain had a baby featuring each country's best parts. It doesn't matter if you're in the old parts of the Kasbah or Medina, the Corniche, or in the west by Cap Spartel. It's magnificent. In this article, I (hope to) show off the best sites of Tangier by location along with some good points about logistics and hotel recommendations. Need anything more?

The Sahara is mystical, enchanting, and endless. And getting there is half the fun. While you might get your camel fix in the Agafay Desert near Marrakesh, the big and grand desert is a solid 10 hour drive away. And while it is easiest to get a guide to help, it is possible to do it (or at least part of it) on your own. Just make sure you bring four-wheel drive and a satellite GPS to get to your camp. Even if you don't want to go into the desert by yourself, there is a plethora to see along the way, including the High Atlas Mountains, the kasr's and movie studios around Ouarzazate, the fascinating Berber culture in the Dra’a Valley, and even some more off-the-beaten bath excursions towards Tazenakht. If you are looking for the best sites to and from Erg Chigaga, this guide is for you.
