With a brace as strong as the Rif Mountains at its back, Tetouan stands as a shining relic of the beauty of Northern Morocco as it looks over the Mediterranean Sea. When the Berbers in between the second and third centuries BC founded the city, the first inhabitants would have never guessed how popular, or how varying their history would become.

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of: an enchanting palm oasis set against the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is Morocco’s second oldest Imperial City and retains the majestic splendor of its ancient past.

Asilah's history has another commonality with that of its sister port town of Essaouira – they both have a turbulent history. Being ruled by Rome, Morocco, the Portuguese, and the Spanish, it is a wonder that the town remains so calm after such a historical juggling of identity. Iberians were shipped here during Rome’s brief rule over the area and the Portuguese came near the end of the 1400s. Spain re-captured the area near the end of the 1500s, while Morocco regained the territory with the rule of Moulay Ismail near the end of the 1600s.

Coming across the boat from Spain into Tangier, you might immediately be presented with Morocco's worst – touts, faux guides (false guides), and taxi drivers claiming that they will give you a deal, wherever you are heading.
