Morocco, a North African country that shares its border with the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is characterized by its Berber, Arabian, and European cultural influences. This country has an interesting mix of the exotic and familiar with a very versatile landscape and a striking difference between the urban Vile Nouvelle and the ancient Medina. Offering a plethora of experiences ranging from hiking in the Atlas or wandering in the alleys of Fez, we would rate this as one of our top favorites for solo travel.

Meknes

An imperial city of Morocco, Sultan Moulay Ismail played a great role in transforming Meknes into a spectacular city. With a Spanish-Moorish appeal and surrounded by high walls, this city is now famous for its historical monuments and natural sites.

Chefchaouen

A breathtaking mountain situated in north-eastern Morocco, Chefchaouen is a really popular holiday destination. With the majestic Rif Mountains as a backdrop, the gorgeous medina has a unique vibe owing to its white-washed homes and powder-blue shades. Tourists throng to this place to shop for handicrafts and hand-woven woolen garments.

Djemaa El-Fna

Djemaa El-Fna is a prime tourist destination in Morocco. That is precisely why any holiday to Morocco is incomplete without visiting this spot. Come day time, one would see this place frequented by snake charmers, people urging monkeys to do some tricks, and also plenty of food stalls that have an array of Moroccan dishes. But as the night falls, the scene changes completely. With storytellers and magicians stealing the show, the evening time sees more crowd enjoying some time out.

Tangier

This Moroccan city packs in an irresistible European charm in it. This city's history has heavily influenced the 20th century literature, and has grown into a major attraction for tourists. Some great pieces of literature such as Paul Bowles' "The Sheltering Sky" and William Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" drew inspiration from this enchanting city. Though Tangier is no longer home to bohemian cafes, the place is still very charming.
