Discover the Hidden Gems of Amizmiz

Nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, just south of the city of Marrakech in Morocco, lies a town that is relatively unknown to visitors and seldom visited. Amizmiz is a quaint and traditional town that seems to have been forgotten by time and passed over by modernization, yet is home to some of the most picturesque landscapes and adventures that Morocco has to offer.

Marvel at the Beauty of Medersa el-Attarine

The exquisitely decorated Medersa el-Attarine (also known as Attarine Madrasa) is located on the edge of the spice and perfume market in the fascinating medina of Fez, Morocco. Its proximity to the spice and perfume market gave rise to Medersa el-Attarine’s Arabic name.

The Zawiyyas of Morocco

Morocco is a country that is filled with beautiful landscapes and breathtaking historical buildings. Some are symbols of religion, some are reminders to struggles of the past, and others, such as the zawiyyas of Morocco, are memorials to great people who once roamed the town or city and made a significant impact on the community. Zawiyyas can therefore be described as a type of shrine to men and woman who made vital contributions to the community, including healers, warriors and leaders. Non-Muslims are not allowed entry into the zawiyyas of Morocco, but the buildings are breathtaking sights.

The Enchanting Rhythms of the Gnaoua Festival

The Gnaoua Festival is a four day music festival held in June or July each year in the beautiful coastal resort city of Essaouira in Morocco. Gnaoua (also known as Gnawa) musicians invite jazz, rock, pop and contemporary World music artists from other countries to enjoy the experience of an interchange of musical ideas.

Nador, A Financial Powerhouse

Morocco is known for its exotic mysteriousness, rich and vibrant colors, spicy foods and bustling cities. Most destinations in Morocco have endless amounts of tourist attractions, noteworthy historical sites and exciting activities. Unfortunately, it seems that Morocco has forgotten about the small city of Nador. Nador is located in the region of Morocco that is better known for sheep herding than tourism. The Spanish city of Melilla is a mere ten kilometers from Nador, and yet they are a world apart.
