Must-see places in Morocco

This collection highlights Morocco's architectural history and natural diversity. It features the UNESCO-listed Roman ruins of Volubilis and the monumental 18th-century Bab Mansour gate in Meknes. In Marrakesh, the 19th-century Bahia Palace and Saadian-era El Badi Palace ruins stand alongside the vibrant Majorelle and olive-lined Menara Gardens. Modern craftsmanship is represented by Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque, the second-largest functioning mosque in Africa. Natural landmarks include the 110-meter Ouzoud Falls, the archaeological Caves of Hercules near Tangier, and Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa’s Atlas range.
