From the blue city of Chefchaouen to multi-tiered waterfalls, we highlight the landmark attractions from across Morocco.
Chefchaouen
A blend of Moroccan and Andalusian influences, Chefchaouen is nestled in the Rif Mountains, two hours south of Tangier. So-called for the brilliant hue adorning most of its buildings, the ‘blue city’ is undoubtedly one of the country’s prettiest. Visitors frequent Chefchaouen to explore its souks (markets) and winding cobalt streets, whilst it is also becoming an increasingly popular spot amongst social media influencers.
Ouzoud Waterfalls
A multi-tiered cascade located in the Atlas Mountains, the Ouzoud Waterfalls are the tallest in Morocco and are known for their impressive beauty and height, with the largest drop at 110 metres. The lush greenery surrounding the falls, including olive trees, is an unusual landscape to behold in the arid country, and tourists enjoy taking short boat trips around the bottom of the falls to absorb the beauty.
Chouara Tannery
In operation since the 16th century, the medieval Chouara Tannery in Fes’ oldest historic quarter, Fes el-Bali, is a sight to behold. Early each morning, the vast grid of stone tanning pits becomes awash with naturally coloured dyes as local leathermakers soak raw hides and leather goods for sale at the shops that frequent the area. Many tourists watch from the surrounding terracotta roof terraces overlooking the tannery.
