Here are the top places and tourist destinations you should visit in Morocco – The Kingdom of Light.

Casablanca: The Modern Morocco

There would arguably be no match for a stunning city to give a traveller a glimpse into the beauty and serenity of a country than Casablanca did.

The Moroccan largest city was the perfect place to start and end our six-day trip. It is the dream destination for shopping. From arrival at Mohammed V International Airport, one is immediately struck by the city’s blend of modernity and tradition. 

While Casablanca is a gateway to other amazing destinations in Morocco, it also offers plenty of attractions, including the stunning Hassan II Mosque and the bustling Morocco Mall.

Tangier: The Meeting Point Of Two Seas

Tangier is a city that perfectly illustrates Morocco’s unique position at the crossroads of Europe and Africa. A train journey from Casablanca presented a charming introduction to Morocco’s diverse landscapes.

A historic city brewing charm, Tangier – a new and old town known as Medina – boasts stunning coastal views to the comfort of dwellers and every traveller’s delight.
