1. Take a City Break in Style in a Marrakesh Riad
Marrakesh’s accommodation is an attraction in itself, and for many travelers, one of the top things to do on a city break here is to stay in one of the medina’s (old town’s) riad hotels. A riad is a traditional Moroccan medina mansion, with a courtyard garden in the middle. Many have been restored to finery and opened as hideaway small hotels that have swags of traditional Moroccan artisan expertise on display, with wood ceilings, tadelakt (polished lime plaster) walls, traditional zellij (ceramic tile) details, and brass swinging lamps.
2. Photograph the Famed Blue Alleys of Chefchaouen
Chefchaouen is the most famous village of Morocco’s Rif Mountains, with the alleys and walls of its small medina all washed in blue tones, making it one of Morocco’s most photographed spots. The town is near Tetouan, 197 kilometers northwest of Fes, and 112 kilometers southeast of Tangier, making it an easy stop-off on a journey through Morocco’s northern region.
