Right on the border of the Sahara Desert, Erfoud offers a fine platform for desert-based tours, 4x4 tours and camel trips. Home of the Moroccan specialty 'kalia', Erfoud will cater for all your senses leaving you feeling more than satisfied.
Fez
It seems that the city of Fez is still lingering back in the middle Ages. As you arrive in the city and begin to walk around your senses are torn between beautiful sights, intricate sounds and colourful smells. Much of the city still is still holding on to its French roots. Fez has enough sights to keep you busy for three to four days. The streets are filled with mosques, medersas, fondouks and monuments.

Rabat

A good thing of Rabat is that you can easily explore the city on your own without the help of a guide, and chat with locals in the café's who do not depend on the money of the tourists.
Tetouan
Whereas the coast gets dry in summer, the capital of the Rif Mountain region, Tétouan, lies in the cool valley of the "Wadi Martil", just kilometres inland from the Spanish coastal enclave of Ceuta. Formerly the capital of Spanish Morocco, this pretty city has a tangible connection with Andalucía: balconies and windows framed by iron grilles, shaded squares and patios with refreshing Moorish-Andalusian fountains, white plasterwork and flamenco.
This connection is accentuated by the fact that many of the Moriscos, expelled from Spain by King Felipe IV in the 16th century, settled here. The extent to which their descendants are still nostalgic about Andalucía is borne out by the 400-year-old tradition in which the keys of homes left behind in Spain are still passed on from generation to generation, yet the locals have recreated the beautiful Hispano-Moorish architecture of old in this charming capital of northern Morocco.
Tangier
Tangier also known as the White City revolves around its brilliant import, export port, and assures you to see many millionaires' yachts, where the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean meets. Tangier is very popular to tourists and Moroccan holidaymakers and it has beautiful beaches to entertain them.
