<\/p>\n

From the aromatic spice markets of Marrakech\u2019s buzzing medinas to the endless expanses of Saharan sand dunes, Morocco is a richly diverse country. Whether you want to sleep under blankets of stars or barter for handmade handbags, this is the place for you.<\/p>\n

As soon as I set foot in Morroco, I fell in love with the local architecture and charming aesthetic. There is something truly magical about the splashes of color and stunning mosaics that line even the quietest of streets.<\/p>\n

As you plan your itinerary, Marrakech will likely come up as a top spot \u2014 but there is so much more to see and do.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 places to visit in Morocco that might not be on your radar!<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Chefchaouen<\/h2>\n

Nestled in the Rif Mountains of northwest Morocco, this striking little city is famous for its blue-washed old town and welcoming atmosphere. It\u2019s one of the country\u2019s most popular destinations and it is easy to see why.<\/p>\n

Chefchaouen, the Blue City of Morocco, is one of my favorite places on the planet. It\u2019s one of the destinations that I was thrilled to include on our TBA Escapes Moroccan tour, and it\u2019s a photographer\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Essaouria<\/p>\n

Essaouira<\/h2>\n

A world away from the chaotic streets of Marrakech, Essaouira is a breath of fresh air. It\u2019s an easy two-and-a-half-hour drive from Marrakech or you can fly over to soak in a more authentic side of Morocco.<\/p>\n

Essaouira is a haven where you can eat up the authentic cuisine of this magical county. Wander the markets and chat with locals as you shop handicrafts. This friendly and welcoming city is a perfect introduction to the best of this beautiful country.<\/p>\n

Fes<\/h2>\n

Morocco\u2019s cultural capital, this northeastern city has the oldest medina in Morocco \u2014 and that\u2019s a very big deal! The old town of each city, or medina as they\u2019re referred to in Arabic, is the beating heart of the community. These vibrant marketplaces are where locals and tourists alike go to eat, shop, and mingle.<\/p>\n

Plan at least one day in the center of Fes and find that perfect souvenir.<\/h4>\n

Once you\u2019ve had your fair share of haggling, it is time to go out and explore the Kairaouine Mosque along with the beautiful grounds of the former school of Medersa Attarine.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
