familiar with Fes, Meknes, and Rabat. For your knowledge, collectively

been the capital of Morocco one time. Each city has played an
important role in the country’s history and continues to provide so much
to tourists today. Here is a brief guide to Morocco’s imperial cities.

Visit Fes for culture &
crafts:
Still known as the cultural & spiritual
center of the country, Fes is an exciting
place to explore. Morocco’s oldest
imperial city, Fes is home to the Al
Quaraouiyine Mosque – known to the
oldest university in the globe.
At the heart of the city, you will witness
the globe’s largest medieval medina.
Enclosed by an 8 kilometers long wall,
this region boasts a labyrinth of
tapered streets & alleys filled with
vibrant souks, pungent tanneries,
mosques, and diligent artisans.

Visit Meknes for imperial treasures:
▪
Less than one hour of drive from Fes, you
can see it’s calm & smaller neighbor
Meknes. This royal city features a historic
medina & stunning Moorish architecture.
▪
The top highlight of this city includes Bab
Mansour – which is one of the most
beautiful gates in all of Morocco.

Visit Rabat for off-the-beaten-path
adventure:
▪
The lesser-recognized capital of Morocco, Rabat
has maintained an influential cultural identity & is
packed with remarkable landmarks.
▪ Apart from the royal palace & the King’s
Mausoleum, Hassan Tower is worth exploring. Once
you’re done with sightseeing, there are also many
beautiful beaches near by the city that deserves a
visit.

Visit Marrakech to experience the best of
Morocco:
▪
A renowned tourist destination since the 1960s, Marrakech is
perhaps the most popular of all the imperial cities. The city
truly is a treat for travelers of any taste.
▪
Standing tall at more than 70m in height, the minaret of
Koutoubia Mosque dominates the city’s skyline. Then below,
you can see the renowned Djemaa el Fna – which comes alive
after dark. The square overflows with story-tellers, fortune
tellers, musicians, food stalls, and more.
