Tangier, departure of your tour of Morocco

Tangier, crossroads of civilizations, is a city located in the far northwest of Morocco. The city is Morocco’s main gateway to Europe. The latter two are separated by the 14 km Strait of Gibraltar. A rapid transformation of infrastructure and the modernization of the airport have made the city even more attractive.

Seduced by its luminous beauty and its scenery, several world celebrities have been inspired by this city. She encountered a real cultural effervescence representing one of the vestiges of a glorious past. Its monuments and historic sites bear witness to this. The Kasbah, the great mosque, the mandoubia gardens and the caves of Hercules make Tangier a unique city of its kind.

Rabat : Morocco´s capital

Rabat is the capital of Morocco and the second largest city in the country after Casablanca. The city is located on the Atlantic coast, on the left bank of the mouth of the Bouregreg. We recommend that you take the highway to get from Tangier to this next destination. Rabat today presents a combination of an Arab-Muslim past and Western modernism. The old quarters are home to the Hassan Mosque, built from 1184, as well as the Almohad ramparts and gates. The only remaining fragments of a major investment project initiated by the Almohad Caliphate. Elements of the 17th century Moorish or Andalusian principality also exist.

Casablanca : the economic hub

Today Casablanca is the economic center and largest city in Morocco. Located about 80km south of Rabat, Casablanca is the third tourist city in Morocco and people go there mainly for business. What is striking here is the diversity of worlds which seem to oppose each other but which remain very complementary. The city operates at 2 speeds, one foot in the present, another firmly anchored in the past. And that’s what makes it rich. Take advantage of this passage and visit places like Sqala, La Médina and Habous to get a unique and local experience.

Marrakech : The red city

Probably Morocco’s best-known tourist destination, Marrakech sits at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and the desert. You will be amazed by the abundance of markets, gardens, palaces and mosques. Marrakech, a historic site renowned for its hospitality, has welcomed visitors with open arms for centuries, making it much more than just a destination. The city’s colors, atmosphere, smells and smiling faces all make it attractive to travelers. With its palm grove and minaret, Marrakech is a world-renowned city that highlights the art of living in medieval times alongside the folklore of its inhabitants.

Agadir : last stopover on your tour of Morocco

In the west of the country, bordered by the waves of the Atlantic, Agadir is one of the best tourist destinations in Morocco. The sun shines there whatever the season and the city enjoys a pleasant climate all year round.
