Morocco is blessed with a centuries-old rich and exotic culture which can best be appreciated through its four magnificent historic imperial cities. Each of these ancient strongholds, with its labyrinthine medina and meandering streets, is surrounded by towering defensive walls and impressive entrance gates. Within, you will find colourful markets, grand mosques, Koranic schools and ancient palaces. You can visit splendid Roman ruins, too, Morocco’s most important pilgrim city, and its capital city, reached by journeying across the spectacular snow-capped mountains of the High Atlas Mountains.
