Fes

Fes, often referred to as the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco, is known for its vibrant medina, rich history, and stunning architecture.

Fes El Bali: This is the oldest part of the city and home to the sprawling Medina of Fes, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Marrakech

Marrakech is often referred to as the "Red City" because of its vibrant red-hued buildings and its status as a historical trade hub. It's a city full of history, culture, and vitality.

Jemaa el-Fnaa: This is the heartbeat of Marrakech. During the day, it's filled with snake charmers, henna artists, and market stalls. As night falls, the square comes alive with food stalls, musicians, and storytellers.
