Oct 25, 2022

It is hard to single out the top places to visit in Morocco as there are so many to choose from. When choosing a destination, women are often drawn to Morocco which is full of warmth, colour and  charm. It is one of the most exotic countries on earth with its unique landscape stretching from the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean to the peaks of the Atlas Mountains into the dunes of the Sahara. It is a blend of cultures, languages and cuisine.

Women travelling with The Adventurous Ewe will visit most of the places placed in the top 10. Let’s start the experience.

Fes was Morocco’s capital for over 400 years. The old walled part of the city, founded in the 9 th Century, was recognized by UNESCO for its architecture and

historical importance related to the Marinid rule. Talking about history, there is a clockhouse, Dar al-Magana, a 14 th century building which holds a weight
