Hidden Gems of Morocco

Explore Morocco's diverse cultural landscape through these five distinct locations. The UNESCO-listed Medina of Tétouan offers a glimpse into northern architectural history along the Martil Valley. In the heart of the medina, traditional tanneries provide elevated viewpoints over ancient leather-dyeing pits. Cultural heritage is preserved in Marrakech at the Boucharouite Museum, specializing in Berber rugs, and the Tiskiwin Museum, which displays theater costumes and props. Along the southern coast, Mirleft Beach provides a secluded retreat featuring white sands sheltered by steep cliffs.

Medina of Tétouan

Tétouan, also known as Tettawen, is a city in northern Morocco. It lies along the Martil Valley and is one of the two major ports of Morocco…

Tanneries

Rather ambivalent experience - the tanneries are smelly and it can be hassling, too.

Boucharouite

A small museum with a collection of Moroccan traditional rugs made by Berber women.

Tiskiwin Museum

Although this museum is quite small, it presents traditional Moroccan theater costumes, decorations and props.

Mirleft Beach

Beautiful white sand beach hidden between cliffs. Secluded place with tranquil atmosphere - a perfect spot for relaxing.
