Tangier, Morocco
Tangier is a gorgeous coastal city that can be reached by ferry from Spain or by
airplane. If you take an early ferry from Tarifa or an early flight, you’ll have
the whole day to explore the city. Tangier has an aura of mystery. It was a hot
spot for spies and international intrigue during the second world war. It was
also the favorite city and home of many literary expats such as William
Burroughs and Paul Bowles * Cafe Hafa * Phoenician Tombs * Old Kasbah * Kasbah
Museum * Petit Socco * American Legation * Grand Socco & Cinema Rif * Berber
Farmer Market * St. Andrew’s Church * Teatro Cervantes * Sour al Maagazine *
Cafe de Paris

Rabat, Morocco
Rabat, Morocco’s capital city, has a long and rich history and is a great place
to visit many captivating historical landmarks. Rabat also has its own blue city
that reminded me of Chefchaouen in so many ways. Whether you are a lover of
history, architecture, or nature, Rabat will find a way to seduce you. Here are
the places I recommend on a day visit to Rabat:
- Hassan Tower and mausoleum of Mohammed V
- Rabat’s cemetry
- Kasbah des Oudaias
- the Andalusian Gardens
- Old medina of Rabat

Marrakech, Morocco
There are eight trains per day between Casablanca and Marrakesh departing every
couple of hours. Travel time between the two cities is around 2 hours and a
half. Ticket prices and time schedules can be found on the ONCF website and
here’s the train station in Casablanca from where you have to depart. Marrakesh
is the last of the imperial cities on this Morocco itinerary and its history
stretches back a thousand years. Morocco is even named after Marrakesh!
Marrakesh can feel a bit intimidating at first, especially if it would be the
first place to visit in Morocco. But if you follow this itinerary, it’s a good
place to finish your trip in Morocco. On your final day, I recommend to visit
the following places in Marrakech: - Jemaa el Fna Main Square - Jardin Majorelle
- Marrakech souk and medina - the Saadian tombs - Koutoubia mosque - Ben Youssef
Madrasah
