Morocco enchants with its medinas, desert landscapes, and Atlantic-Mediterranean coastline. Marrakech's Djemaa el-Fna square — a circus of acrobats, musicians, storytellers, and food stalls — is one of the world's great public spaces. The medina's souks, Bahia Palace, and Majorelle Garden reward exploration.
Fez's ancient medina (the world's largest car-free urban area) is a labyrinthine marvel. The Sahara Desert near Merzouga offers camel treks and sleeping under the stars. The blue city of Chefchaouen, Atlantic coast surf towns, Roman ruins at Volubilis, and the High Atlas Mountains round out a country of extraordinary variety.
