Morocco

A pre-Saharan ksar — a fortified village of earthen tower houses — on the historic caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding example of Trans-Saharan trading architecture.

The blue-washed mountain town of Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains, founded in 1471, famous for its indigo-painted medina streets and relaxed atmosphere far from Morocco's major tourist circuits.

The oldest of Fes's two medinas and one of the world's largest urban car-free zones, founded in 789 CE, with an intact medieval street plan, caravanserais, tanneries, and craft quarter that has operated continuously for over twelve centuries.

One of the world's largest mosques, begun in 1986 and completed in 1993, standing partly over the Atlantic on reclaimed land with a 210-metre minaret — the tallest religious minaret on earth.

Marrakech's great market square and cultural hub, where storytellers, musicians, and food stalls have performed in continuous oral tradition since at least the 11th century.

The ruins of the principal Roman city in Morocco, Volubilis was the capital of the province of Mauretania Tingitana from the 1st to the 3rd century CE and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site with exceptional in-situ mosaics.
