Meknes
(From Fes) | Meknes (or Mequinez) is the most modest of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities, which gives it a special charm. Its name comes from the Amazigh (Berber) word Meknasa, the name of the tribe that founded the city, and the atmosphere in Meknes is more modern than in Fes. One of the most famous works in the city is the Bab Mansour Gate.
Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate

It is common to see on its beaches the practice of various types of water sports, such as kitesurfing or surfing, thanks to the marvellous weather conditions and its year-round wind.
Ourika Valley
