From the colours and snake charmers of Marrakech’s infamous medina, to the religious hive of Fez and even a camel safari through the Sahara Desert, discover the wonders and be ‘wowed’ by Morocco’s ways.
Wonders of Morocco
Of all Morocco's magnificent sites, eight particularly stand out: those which are officially registered on Unesco's World Heritage list.
Protecting and handing down
Since 1975, the UN has identified, protected and preserved extraordinary places or monuments in Morocco that have an exceptional value for humanity. To the north, you can admire the unrivalled medina of Tétouan. UNESCO naturally selected it for having maintained its unique style, a blend of Andalusian and Arab influences.
Towards Volubilis
Heading southwards, stop at Meknès, a friendly imperial city. The impressive 11th century old town, with its superb eclectic architecture, has been on the list since 1996. A few kilometers further, you may admire the remains of the Roman Empire's town planning genius. Volubilis is the largest ancient site of Morocco, the best preserved and the most evocative... The medina in Fez, with an age-old appearance but still full of life, has also been selected by Unesco. The first Moroccan site to join the list in 1981, its Islamic layout is a model in its genre.

World heritage
Two other prestigious places are on the Atlantic coast: the old Portuguese town of Mazagan and the Essaouira medina. Finally, in the centre of the country, you will find the sumptuous Place Jema El-Fna in Marrakech and the astonishing Aït-Ben-Haddou ksar, in the region of Ouarzazate. All the regions of Morocco have been honored by at least one Unesco classification. So whatever your destination, you can be sure to be close to one of the most prestigious sites in the world.
