The sand on the beach is very nice and clean, and easy to find some nice sea shells as souvenirs.

What a beautiful place 😍

One of the best beaches in Spain. Period.

Great view

White sands, clear fresh sea, wide horizons! What else can you ask for?

Stunning place

Wonderful atmosphere and nature.

Driving the coastal route from Málaga to Cádiz, Baelo Claudia provided a fascinating insight into the methods the Romans used for preserving fish, fishing for tuna, and producing ‘garum’ - a fish sauce delicacy. Managing to survive an earthquake and pirate raids, it stands as one of Spain’s most complete Roman towns. Efficient, clean set-up – well worth stopping off for.

Prepare yourself with information before visiting this place. It is a very powerful historical site, and if you are filled with knowledge of what happened there, you will gain unforgettable impressions and emotions from being there. It is very important to preserve such relics in order to have the opportunity to touch ancient history.

Lots to see, very well laid out. Interesting site thats right on the beach too.. Wrnt on a Sunday so the Museum was closed but could get access to the remainder of the site.

History is for me very important and can not leave without it. It’s everyone’s present and we need to embrace it. Baelo Claudia site is small and well kept. The government of Spain really does beautiful work to keep their heritage, weather is Roman, or Muslim heritage. Baelo Claudia was an ancient Roman town in Hispania, located 22 kilometres (14 mi) outside of Tarifa, near the village of Bolonia, in southern Spain. Situated on the shore of the Strait of Gibraltar, the town began as a fishing village and trading hub when it was settled approximately 2,000 years ago. Although a prosperous town at the time of Emperor Claudius, it went into a decline partially fueled by earthquakes and was abandoned by the 6th century

Truly a hidden gem in this part of Spain! We visited in the winter and it was so beautifully quiet despite the gorgeous sunny weather. Super cheap entry (particularly if you are an EU resident) and lots to look at and explore- just incredible to see the ruins of an old theatre and to picture what this place looked like so long ago. The museum is small but exquisitely curated, we learnt a lot and would love to come back to wander around again! So stunning right by the ocean, with all the lovely olive trees. There are places to have a picnic too, which I think is just so charming. Definitely recommend this place!

Nice location next to the beach. It’s free to visit for EU citizens. We came at 14:30 and we were constantly reminded by the staff that they were closing in 30.min (15:00)and we had to be “Rapido” 😅 A bit annoying but we still managed to hurry up and see the outside ruins. So be aware of the opening hours beforehand. There is a free parking outside the museum entrance. Worth the visit if you are passing by.

It's a beautiful place There's no admission fee

Only visit if you pratice some kind of wind surf. Also there's poop in the beach from horses and dogs. Nevertheless, is really beautifull.

A wide, spacious beach on the ocean in Tarifa, but if you want a calm and sheltered spot, it’s best to visit Carbones 13. Besides great cocktails, they’ll serve you delicious food. There are also sunbeds available.

Stunning white clean sand and stretches on for miles. Loads of kite surfers (so not ideal if you don’t like wind)

Huge playa, very windy so perfect for water sports

The most wonderful place in the world

Endless stretch of sand full of Water Sports fanatics - mind all the bloody ropes/strings/kites /equipment laying around on the sand 🙄 - about two miles walkable dunes swept by wind and salty water. As for the wind, it blows so hard that you can't even have a conversation 😁 It's not an easy task but the shore is amazingly clean and the light blinding white, the water is green and blue and grey and has no end. There's a very crowded Bar, the only one in the whole beach so expect crazy prices but the views are unbelievable. Bring litres of Sun Protection, the sun is very unforgiving and there is no shelter of any shape or form.

Great beach! Wide and long with white sand 👍 Still windy so you dont feel the heat, which is great, but beeare of sunburn 😉 The best place to see the sunset in Tarifa 👍

Definitely worth it the visit! An important historical spot, with a very well kept garden and scientific information. I would suggest to include English explanation in addition to french and Arabic.

Cap Spartel is a must-visit spot just outside Tangier. The views are breathtaking, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. The lighthouse adds a historic charm, and the surrounding gardens are peaceful and well kept. 💡 Tip: Best time to visit is late afternoon to enjoy the sunset. Bring some water or snacks if you don’t plan to eat at the café.

Beautiful location with incredible views. The spot gets busy, but it’s worth it for the scenery. Nice place and a bit of fresh air

Cap Spartel in Morocco marks the northwestern tip of Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Famous for its historic lighthouse and panoramic ocean views, it’s a popular spot for sightseeing, photography, and watching stunning sunsets over the sea.

Stunning views from the top. We went to watch the sun set. Absolutely worth going.

Cap Spartil is truly a hidden gem! The natural beauty of the place is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding landscape. The lighthouse adds a unique charm to the location, offering panoramic vistas that make it a perfect spot for relaxation and exploration. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the fresh air and scenic surroundings, makes it an unforgettable destination. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape or a place to connect with nature, Cap Spartil is the ideal place. Highly recommended!

Beautiful! 🤩 Excellent panoramic views from the top of the lighthouse where you can see the joining of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea! Entry fee to get in to the lighthouse, museum, and garden, though the gardens were unfortunately closed while we were visiting. It’s a beautiful 4 km/2.5 mile walk/drive/bike ride between here and Hercules Cave. For those without a car, In Drive app is probably your best bet for visiting from Tangier. If you are friendly with the driver they might even bring you back for a good price and give you some history on the area.

The Caves of Hercules are a popular tourist destination near Tangier, Morocco. They're known for their unique sea-facing entrance that resembles the map of Africa and are often praised for their beautiful views, especially at sunset. Amazing spots to relax and spend some serene time here.

Grottes d’Hercule in Morocco is a stunning natural cave overlooking the Atlantic Ocean near Tangier. Famous for its legendary connection to Hercules, the site features dramatic rock formations, a natural opening shaped like Africa, and breathtaking sea views. Ideal for sightseeing and photography.

Visiting the Hercules Caves was such a unique and memorable experience. The place has a beautiful natural feel, and the famous opening shaped like the map of Africa is even more impressive in person. Walking through the cave, you can really feel the history and the atmosphere — it’s simple but very captivating. The area around the caves is also lovely, with amazing ocean views that make the whole visit even more special. It’s definitely a spot worth seeing if you’re in Tangier, and a great place to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended!

If it’s part of your tour or along your route, it’s worth a quick stop. The cave itself is beautiful, especially the view where the water flows through the opening—quite a unique sight. While the surrounding area is largely developed for tourism, it can still be enjoyable, especially for families. The flat terrain and minimal stairs make it very kid-friendly and easy to explore. Great for a short, scenic break and to pick up some souvenirs. Must visit this place

One of the most hyped up tourist spots in Tangier. it's a small space with minimal information, so do some reading before you go. It's overpriced for what is offered. We paid 80drh each (roughly £7.50-£8) for a quick 10 mins inside. there is another small section (i think it was called a gallery) for a separate cost In all honesty the cave is not big, There was a barrier blocking some of it so i don't know if that part is ever opened up to the public. the hype is mainly for the opening in the rocks where you can see the sea and rock formation is the shape of Africa. Everything i read online about a path etc, I did not see. If part of the cave was closed, they should have charged less. As a local citizen you can get the ticket for 30 dirham. Not really impressed with a cost that can't be justified

The history of this cave given by our guide was fascinating. I was surprised how large the cave was and how clean and well preserved it was as well. A very interesting and worthwhile visit.

Amazing views but the cave itself, besides not much to do with the true legend is not as impressive as hoped for but worth visiting while in the area.

Worth visiting. For 30-40 DH you can visit the contemporary museum as well as the Kasbah and it’s gardens. Garden is a little gem in the city centre.

Beautiful historic place, well presented chronologically. The garden is pleasant with many plants, however, signs with the plant and tree names would have been useful, it's a shame there weren't any. Visited in early Sept and there was no café nor shop to be seen.

Worth the visit. It takes 30min to see but you can spend more time. The gardens are beautiful and they have good pieces of different history periods. Unfortunately it’s only in French and Arabic, we would strongly encourage them to add English. I would go back if so to be able to understand everything. The ticket was 30 dirhams each. The staff was very kind and flexible to let us visit everything even though they were closing

Very beautiful, good historical background, very well-organized, and you can enter both museums (Kasbah and Contemporary) with the same ticket.

This was a concise museum in a nice old palace. Admission fee was reasonable 50 dirhams. Nice artifacts from the region. I’d have liked a little more explanation of the groupings and the exhibit focus. Staff was helpful but did not speak much English or Spanish.

Exquisite, quiet respectful visitors, free to enter.

30 MAD person - access to both the Kasbah museum and Art museum. If you enjoy visiting the past, exploring maps & artefacts definitely worth a visit. Also a delightful view of the ocean & marina from the top.

The staff were friendly and nice. Location was ok – in the centre of medina. Room description: dark, ugly, with a smelly bathroom which looks like a prison. The bed was too soft, I had a back pain after sleeping on it. If you don’t care about this and your main purpose is to save some money on accommodation – book it. Maybe you can handle 1-2 nights. Small breakfast in the terrace with a view included.

The hotel was a traditional Hotel. The rooms was ok , clean and warm. The only problem was the outside toilet. Difficult through the night or for shower.. The hotel was in the centre of the old town Medina. For me too much traffic and noise but i didn't know about the life rhythms in the old town. The breakfast was basic but the choices of bread really good ! The staff was really very kind and helpful ! Was a nice stay in a good price.

Good location, kind and attentive staff, good and plentiful breakfast on the terrace. Rooms are okay - clean and affordable. Only issue really was we were in the room adjacent to the lobby and the first floor above the Medina alley, so it was quite noisy.

The rooms are just average. If you are a light sleeper. The doors are thin. Could hear everything outside the room. I did not sleep properly. The staff is amazing. Kindest people.

Perfectly located , nice and clean rooms. Kind and always helpful service. Good breakfast with fresh bakeries.

Nice, big room. Clean and well appointed. Fantastic rooftop terrace. Would stay again.

If you want an authentic, spotlessly clean hotel in a prime location 👌 the Tanger Medina is perfect for you. Nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff. They are so special and kind. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace. It will take your breath away. Soothing background music and delicious fresh food and spectacular views of the Casbah and to the harbour. We are hoping to return one day 🙏 Right in the heart of the medina and the atmosphere is pure Tangiers.

This Legation was formed in the 1777s when USA just became a country and was recognized by Morocco. This place displayed many of the friendship materials over the ages. If you are an American, this place is worth a visit.

It was the unexpected highlight of my Tangier visit. Wonderful building and amazing history. Important Note: Entry Ticket is 50 Moroccan Dirham (about 5 euros) but they only accept Cash in dirhams. No euros or dollars. Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling US in 1777. The US signed its first ever international trade treaty with Morocco in 1786. The building was gift to the fledgling United States from the Sultan of Morocco in 1821, and the Tangier American Legation was a diplomatic mission and home for over 140 years, until 1957. The building is still owned by the U.S. Department of State and is America's oldest diplomatic property globally. It is the only U.S. National Landmark located overseas.

Fascinating! Great to see and read about the history between Morocco and the US. A living example of countries with completely different cultures respecting each other’s values. I love the way it is exactly as it was with furniture, newspapers, radios and music to match the time in history or an event. A must see when visiting Tangier!

It’s a great place to come. Cost is 50dirram. Not bad place to learn some local/American history. You can do the entire place within 30mins.

Nice experience. Ticket was 50dh per person (for tourists). The entrance is hidden in the Medina.

Very interesting experience exploring the relationship between Morocco and the US!

A place that tells you about the history of the first American ligation, and more, i loved it

Definitely try to visit the wall inside. It’s something that you for sure don’t expect. I didn’t want to upload fotos because it can not present not even close how it is there..

stunning walls and clear blue waters

Beautiful place, the best in cueta, in my opinion.

We recently enjoyed a 10-night Western Mediterranean Cruise on the MSC Lirica sailing from Alicante (cost £420 each in January).  The sixth stop was Ceuta and from the port there was a short walk to all the main attractions including the Murallas Reales de Ceuta (Royal Walls of Ceuta).   The Royal Walls is a well maintained fort that dates back to the 16th century. At the fort there are lots of artefacts including cannons The fortress walls are divided by a moat that connects both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.  From the top of the moat there are fantastic views of the port, Mount Hacho (mountain) and the beaches Playa de la Ribera and Playa del Chorrillo. The Royal walls are surrounded by the historical city of Ceuta that has beautiful fountains, monuments (Hercules, Escultura Pedro Meneses, Escultura de Enrique el Navegant, Escultura del Alcalde Sanchez Prados and so on), gardens and squares including Plaza de Africa and Plaza de los Reyes. There are also a number of museums including the Military Museum of the Legion, Fuerte del Desnarigado fort and museum, the Museo del Revellín and the Museo de la Basilica Tardorromana. Other attractions include the Triumphal arch, the casino, the Cathedral, the House of Dragons,  Puerto Califal Fort, Ceuta Park Mall, the Shrine of Our Lady of Africa, the lighthouse Faro Punta Almin, the food market Mercado Central and Park San Amaro. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ceuta, because we felt relaxed, the people were very friendly and there was so much to do and see We would definitely recommend a visit to both Ceuta and the Royal Walls.

Great place to visit we loved ceuta on our day visit off a cruise and especially in and around the Royal walls medieval but also lovely shops restaurants and bars its all there if you want it

Impressive set of fortificarions, built in the 1540s by the Portuguese.

Super cool! So much history to take in and enjoy. Excellent views.

Honestly great place, you must brave the cold water tho. There is food and snacks and coffee almost everywhere around and a bar in the middle of the water. The only issue I have is how you have to go get the mats for the beds and umbrellas in different places and sometimes far from where you sit.

Salty and really cold water. Goal is more staying in the sun then swimming pool. One you're through it is nice. For me: it took me one hour... 😁

Place looks nice, BUT!!! Zero service, people does not know even a word in english. I had to go to other side of park just to get the umbrella, no information at all about what is included to the ticket.

Very clean and super good pool. The price is very affordable

Wonderful September afternoon spent in a relaxing manner in the park. Fresh, clesn, quiet and sunny!

Very good pool

Beautiful pools and views of the Mediterranean Sea

Great location. Easy walking distance to town centre and all restaurants and cafe. The room we stays was very nice, got comfortable bed and good hot shower. The staff were kind and there was no hassle or problems. Would recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay when you visit Asilah.

The apartment is perfectly located, and it has a beautiful view on the ocean and the walls of the medina. The room was very modern and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was really nice and flexible, and he even offered help when we needed to print out our tickets urgently. If I visit Morocco again I will definitely return to this place.

Really comfortable and clean place. The furniture of the apartment and the bed were so comfortable. You have all the things you need for cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. Big fridge for storage. The view is incredible because you can see the beach all the time during the day and night with nice place to rest.

The hotel is clean and tidy and we got a great deal on the place. The staff were pleasant and the sea view was lovely. On a negative the wifi is dreadful and there is still some building work going on. Also no access to the roof.

The apartment was small but clean and cosy with very good placement. Close to the city center and in a quiet neighborhood. They just need to renew some furniture items, toilet and kitchen equipments

Quite overpriced for the kind of stay you are offered. The location was good. Parking underground was also a good option, but there is quite a hassle to call for someone to open the door everytime you want to exit. Also the sea view wasn't much of a view. Some of the staff were quite impolite. You have to track one of them down each time you need any necessities like towels.

I really can not understand why Moroccans just want to make money without improving the quality service. We booked for 3 persons and we got an apartment with 2 single beds. We asked the owner and said the third person can sleep on the couch. The toilets were not clean, the kitchen equipments were dirty and dusty. Come on it is a modern apartment so keep it clean. Just avoid that place please.

This blue old medina was a marvelous experience. You gonna have to climb a few step and by a few steps I mean all the way. Everything is painted blue and white which is actually a color theme that you'll see all around the north of Morocco. A must see city.

i like this clean city

Took

Beautiful building and has a cultural load

wow

Neglected history

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful city on a human scale offering superb panoramas. We let ourselves be transported into the streets with a European style with a strong Spanish influence but also buildings with an Arab-Muslim style. One of my favorite cities in Morocco with Al Hoceima. The charm of towns located in mountainous terrain 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 (Original) Très belle ville à taille humaine proposant de superbes panoramas . On se laisse transporter dans les ruelles avec un style européen avec une forte influence espagnole mais également des édifices au style arabo-musulman . Une de Mes villes préférée du Maroc avec Al hoceima . Le charme des villes situées dans un relief montagneux 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Huge site, lots to see, marvellous views of Larache and the estuary. Definitely worth a visit. There are not enough information boards and those they have are only in French and Arabic, so you may well find yourself uncertain what you are looking at. Nothing to stop people climbing over the ruins and walking across the centuries old mosaics; seems ridiculous.

Great archeological site, worth the visit, the ministry of culture can do a better job to develop its infrastructure and make the visit more enjoyable.

A truly amazing site were you can get up close to ancient buildings and artifacts. This is a must visit if in the Area.

Excellent views of Larache from the top and the estuary. Ancient roman ruins. The site is well looked after, guards are friendly and public services and bathrooms were very clean

One of the nicest places l've visited. The place is clean, safe, and the employees are really friendly.

Definitely worth a visit. A beautiful, magical place, with beautiful views of the meanders of the Loukos River where it flows into the ocean - the ancestors really knew how to choose a place to live. Freely accessible, well-maintained excavations, preserved amphitheater, mosaic floors... simply amazing. Descriptive signs in Arabic and French were translated by Google, otherwise we received a printed guide in English. The only thing that is disappointing is the much higher entrance fee charged to foreigners than to locals

I spent a lovely couple of hours here, wandering around the ruins. 80dh to get in which includes the small museum on site. The guards and people were super friendly. I was there on a Wednesday and it was deserted which I admit I liked. It was hot so take water with you. Also is not wheelchair friendly as there is some steep walking and lots of steps. The views are amazing. The information is in both French and Arabic. I'm English so was no good for me.. However I still really enjoyed my time there and recommend a visit if you are in the area... Paul

Excellent tourist site in Morocco. This landmark destroyed during an earthquake in Portugal that demolished this structure as well in Morocco. Some of the boundary wall remains. A separate mosque is now constructed to offer prayer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A breathtaking symbol of Rabat must-see! Visiting the Hassan Tower was one of the highlights of my trip to Rabat. The minaret dates from the late 12th century and was intended as part of an enormous mosque commissioned by Sultan Yaʿqūb al-Mansur work halted after his death, leaving the striking 44-metre tower and the rows of marble columns that mark the mosque’s original footprint. The setting is dramatic: the tower’s red stone rises above a wide, open esplanade dotted with column stumps that make for superb photos and a real sense of the scale that was planned. The intricate Almohad decorations on the tower and the calm, airy space around it give the whole complex a powerful, timeless atmosphere. It’s perfectly placed next to the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the beautifully kept gardens you can easily visit both in one trip and the contrast between the medieval monument and the modern royal mausoleum is fascinating. Entry to the site is straightforward (many visitors report it as free), and the area feels safe and well maintained. Practical tips: aim for early morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer crowds; wear respectful clothing if you plan to visit the mausoleum; allow around 45–90 minutes to wander, photograph and take in the views across Rabat. There are often local guides nearby if you’d like historical context. Overall I loved the Hassan Tower, it’s historic, photogenic and peaceful, and an essential stop when exploring Rabat’s imperial quarter. Highly recommended for history lovers, photographers and anyone wanting a memorable slice of Moroccan heritage.

The Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Muhammad V are two of Rabat's most important attractions. Beautiful sights to see. The Hassan Tower, a famous red sandstone structure – the remains of an unfinished minaret from the 12th century. The royal family mausoleum and mosque are known for their ornate Moroccan architecture with a green roof. Admission is free, but photos are welcome with the guards.

Hassan means Beautiful. So it’s a beautiful tower planned to be a mosque. But because of earthquake, it was collapsed and pillars and part of the wall remained. Hijri Year is 355 days, so you can find 355 pillars, The father king mausoleum Mohammad V, newly mosque and a museum for royal family only. Soldiers riding horses near entrance gate. Pleasant visit.

Unfortunately, I only got to see Hassan Tower from the outside, but it was still absolutely worth the visit. The structure is stunning and the scale is impressive, even from a distance. The surrounding plaza with its rows of stone columns gives you a real sense of the unfinished grandeur that was planned here. It is a peaceful area with the Mausoleum of Mohammed V nearby and views over the river. The red stone contrasts beautifully with the sky, making it a great stop for photos. Even if you only have time to see it from the outside, it is one of Rabat’s most iconic and meaningful landmarks.

The area is peaceful and very well maintained, with plenty of space to walk around and take photos. From the site, you can also spot the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which adds even more depth to the visit. It’s one of those places that’s both historically significant and photogenic — perfect for a short cultural stop while exploring Rabat. You don’t need a lot of time here — 20 to 30 minutes is plenty to take in the sights, admire the architecture, and capture some great photos. It’s more about appreciating the beauty and atmosphere than spending hours exploring.

Historic Landmark adjoining the uncompleted mosque and masoleum. Beautiful marble fountain in front of it makes it great picture opportunity.

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V is a truly magnificent site and one of Rabat’s most iconic landmarks. The architecture is stunning — a perfect blend of Moroccan craftsmanship and Islamic artistry, with intricate tilework, marble floors, and beautifully carved ceilings. Inside, the atmosphere is serene and respectful, honoring King Mohammed V and his sons, King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. The site is well maintained, and the guards in traditional uniforms add a ceremonial touch to the experience. A must-visit for anyone exploring Morocco’s royal and historical heritage.

This is where Mohammed V was buried and available to visit. The Mausoleum was designed by a Vietnamese and it has semblance of the Taj Mahal with white marbles and shapes. The place has many guards and they are friendly for photos. One of the best part of this place is the guards on horses and their exchanges. A nice ceremony if you can catch that changing of the horse guards.

Interesting place, definitely worth a visit. I was impressed by the guards in their traditional uniforms. Unfortunately, we visited on a foggy and rainy day. Outside, there are street vendors who sell fresh orange juice and roasted nuts. The architecture is beautiful and fascinating both inside and out. There’s a huge, impressive fountain outside, though it’s fenced off and visibility is limited.

I only got to see the Mausoleum of Mohammed V from the outside, but it was still an unforgettable stop. The white marble, green-tiled roof, and intricate carvings make it one of the most beautiful buildings in Rabat. Even from a distance, you can feel the importance of the place and the care put into every detail. It sits right next to Hassan Tower, and together they create one of the most striking sights in the city. The area feels peaceful and dignified, with guards in traditional uniforms and wide open courtyards that add to the atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting, even if you only view it from the outside.

The tomb of Mohammed V Ben Youssef is a building designed by Vietnamese engineer Eric Van Town, built opposite the Hassan Silo on Yacoub Mansour Almohad Square in the Moroccan capital Rabat. It was built on a height opposite the city of Salé overlooking the Abu Ruqraq River and close to its Atlantic estuary. The construction of the tomb of Mohammed V took about ten years, as it began in 1962 to lay the closing brick in 1971. The mausoleum is registered as an Islamic archaeology in accordance with Article 4 of the Antiquities Law of the League of Arab States at the Third Archaeology Conference held in Fez. It was also on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012. The idea of building the mausoleum was to commemorate the late King of Morocco, Mohammed V. The mausoleum contains the graves of the late Kings Mohammed V bin Yusuf and King Hassan II, who was buried at the mausoleum after his death in 1999, as well as the tomb of Prince Abdullah.

Incredible experience! Free entry and no queues. Really polite staff and guardians who were posing to photos. Worth visiting!

Free entrance, beautiful mausoleum and gardens. Good transport options including tram, with station within 5 minute walk.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-visit gem in Rabat! Cellah (Chellah) is one of the most fascinating and peaceful places I’ve ever visited in Morocco. The moment you enter through the grand gate, you’re surrounded by a mix of Roman and Islamic history that’s simply breathtaking. The ancient ruins, beautifully weathered walls, and ornate tombs tell countless stories of Rabat’s past. The gardens are lush and full of life storks nesting on the old minarets add a truly magical touch. It’s quiet, well-maintained, and perfect for those who want to slow down and take in the city’s heritage away from the crowds. The views from the site are also stunning, especially at sunset when the light hits the ruins. You can feel the layers of history here. Roman remains blending seamlessly with medieval Moroccan architecture. Whether you’re a history lover, a photographer, or simply someone who appreciates peaceful and authentic places, Cellah is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Rabat!

Absolutely wonderful archeological and historic site. The walking path is well marked with site signs. There is also an audio program that can be rented. The grounds are beautifully maintained with plantings that were new to me. Just gorgeous.

A very charming place on so many levels. So much history. We had a wonderful tour guide. The food at the restaurant was wonderful. I want to go back.

A lovely historical city with Mauritanian, Roman, and a few other civilizations contributing to this place. The place has some Roman ruins, a very small museum, a mosque, some baths, a lovely garden, and residentials. The place also has a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a gifts shop. Tickets are bought at the entrance by cash or card. They have ample parking onsite. Timings of the place differ around the year. The restaurant onsite remains open until after the ancient city closes, and has a separate entrance. Expect to spend 1 hour exploring the place.

Absolutely loved this place. The mix of Roman ruins and later Moroccan architecture makes Chellah one of the most atmospheric sites in Rabat. My highlights were wandering through the crumbling walls covered in greenery, watching the storks nesting on top of old minarets, and hearing nothing but wind and birds. It feels calm and untouched, almost like stepping back in time. The gardens are beautiful, and the sense of history here is powerful with layers of civilizations in one spot. Bring comfortable shoes and visit in the late afternoon for soft light and fewer crowds. A must-see for anyone who enjoys ancient ruins and quiet, magical places.

A must-visit spot in Rabat if you love peaceful views and natural scenery. The green side of Chellah is perfect for photos, sunlight through the trees, old walls covered in nature, and a quiet vibe that feels timeless.

Fantastic place, rich in culture and history. I recommend taking a guided tour. Definitely worth the 300 dirhams. A big thank you to our guide Icham.

Current price is 100 MAD for foreigners. Parking is free, but the attendant was so friendly and calm that we tipped him. If you don't tip, it's not a problem. We arrived before 10am and it was nearly empty. It has a few wonderfully reconstructed structures, but otherwise it is mostly not excavated or renovated. This is kind of cool. It is very raw. You can walk almost everywhere. It's not as impressive as major Roman ruins, but it's so far South East, and the valley is really something. Was worth the visit in my opinion.

An amazing site, slightly run down (not because its about 2000 years old) but from the fading and torn signage at each of the sites! Sad. But albeit the signage, a warm friendly welcome - the guides politely wait for you to ask for assistance. Theres a lot of history here. Definitely worth a visit . Be prepared for a 2 or 3 hour visit - advisable to carry some water before you wander across

If you love history, you should plan a visit. We stopped here during a drive from Casablanca to Fes. We spent about two hours walking around the ruins.

Well worth visiting but best to get a guide as information signs we sparse and there is so much to see. The mosaics are stunning. Whole site could do with weeds controlled and a bit more signing.

Really interesting site to visit! I’d recommend going with a guide if possible — they can add great context and help structure the walking tour efficiently. There are clean restroom facilities on site and a small café offering drinks and light snacks.

First up parking we are in a Motorhome, there is an attendant, and he asks for 20dr after backing you in. The cost as a foreigner is 100dr and we spent 2 hours there. We didn’t get a guide as we wanted to wander around and google was our friend for information. We arrived at 9.00am just before the buses. Was it worth it, we believe ‘yes’ amazing history. A tidy up of the weeds and grasses would make it so much better, especially when there has been a rise in tourists to Morocco.

This site is a delightful surprise. Amazing mosaics, great restorations. Worth the drive out to see it. Plan several hours to explore it all.

The property is rented using airbnb which is how we stayed at this place. This is an old palace converted into multiple airbnb units. It’s more like a guest house with multiple airbnb units within this palace with a full time staff running this place (cleaners, cook, helpers, etc.). Please note that this place is not wheelchair or stroller friendly as there are multiple steps (7-8 at least) without any ramp. We were here with a stroller, and at least during checkin and checkout Jawad (who is the help at the property) was able to help us with the stroller. Wifi was a bit spotty during our stay (we mainly ended up mostly using our data plan during our stay) even though the host tried to help. Another point to note that the helpers at the property do not speak english, to the degree where it becomes really hard to communicate with them. Property is beautiful albeit a bit dated (e.g. bathrooms were just okay and could really use an upgrade). Some amenities like hand soap could be improved. There is food available upon request/payment delivered to your room by Jawad. Morning tea/coffee is free of charge and can be requested but was unclear. Some definite room for improvement but overall it was a good stay.

Beautiful old palace. Lovely grand rooms. It's not in perfect condition but that doesn't stop it being charming and picturesque. The breakfast is the best we had in Morocco and great to also have parking on site. Definitely recommend!

Just a beautiful space and our meals and room where the nicest we have had in our 3 weeks so far in Morocco. We found our room on Airbnb and it was called the bird room💞 aptly named since it has oodles of beautiful pigeons around the balconies! My only issue is the stairs to this specific room, 54 up 54 down. If you are old(like me) choose one on the bottom floor for sure. :)

Strange from the outside, kind of beautiful from the inside, can be tremendously outstanding. A XVIII century palace which needs to be cared of and a continuously work of repair and restoration. The path to get there is not easy though it really is straight ahead until the end of the road. But the end of the road, downhill, leads to a metal gate that reveals a chicane that continues on descending until you see what seems to be an entrance to a big construction. Pinned on maps as El Palace Mokri, not Riad Lalla Fatima, sits on a quiet area, on a corner of Fes. The family that ownes the palace lives there but that should be a reception or at least someone to receive you, tell you everything you need to know and welcome you. Unfortunately, for us, that was not the case since we have to search around the rooms and corridors to find a nanny/cleaning lady/housewife sweeping a living room full of dust and garbage. She was the one whom, very kindly and without speaking a word of English, French or Spanish, showed us the way to our room (which eventually was not the right one), explained in her way and with gestures how the locks worked, the wifi pass, where the towels were and got us some toilet paper. And we were "installed". A member of the family approached us later in the afternoon to say sorry and to ask about breakfast (which we didn't get the chance to try). As for the rest, the palace is beautiful and it would be even better if it got take care of and if someone would give us (other visitors) a tour. With a warmer reception, directions and explanation on how to get there, a small tour of the place and a little big cleaning up, it really can become an unforgiven experience.

A wonderful place to stay in Fes as the facilities are incredible! It is spacious, clean, and a great deal! One of the largest challenges is getting here as it can be a little confusing based on Google Maps. One needs to enter through the arhc/gate and head downhill towards the entrance. There is no reception, but a staff member greeted us at the gate to help! The staff are incredibly kind and this is truly a wonderful place to stay in at Fes

An incredible and unique place to stay or have an event. This family owned palace is rich in history and character. The owners are currently updating many of the rooms and common areas. While there is still work to done I would consider the palace one of the true gems in Fes and would happily stay here again.

We stayed here for 3 nights while making a short visit to Fès. It was one of those rare experiences where you have accommodation in a REAL palace and important national monument! Built in 1906 as a personal residence for a Moroccan minister during the French protectorate the palace is a wonderful remnant of what must have been a very opulent period ( for the privileged at least!) ? It apparently had/has a number of "firsts" for the city of Fès: first grand piano in Morocco, first electric lighting, and first integrated music sound system in the whole palace! Today it's showing signs of needing a full scale restoration, but nevertheless it is still a beautiful place to stay. Our ground floor room was a masterpiece of the most beautiful tiling, carved wooden ceiling and furnishings and would presumably once have been one of the main reception rooms of the palace. Whilst at the palace we ordered breakfast and evening dinner on two occasions, all deliciously and beautifully served by our hostess Hamza. Just a couple of criticisms , which often seem to apply to these locations within Morocco's medinas , it's difficult to find on first arrival and for those among us who are less athletic in our senior years , these little hilly streets are hard work!

A memorial monument of ismailian city meknes, where various people show off their talents (singers, comedians, musiciens...)

The square was empty, nothing was going on. A walked through the souk on the left-hand side of the square and visited the Dar Jamai - National Museun of Music, located at the square's back wall. There was nothing exciting for me, but others may find it fascinating. However, when you turn around, you'll see the Bab El Mansour Lellej - famous gate.

Lahdim Square in Meknes is a perfect for soaking in local culture. The square is filled with street vendors, cafes, and shops, offering a variety of goods and local foods. It's a great spot to relax and watch the lively activities around. The architecture and atmosphere provide a charming glimpse into the heart of Meknes.

Crowded but beautiful view of the restored city gate

The gate is very nice, freshly renovated. There is plenty of snack bars right across the street at the square. Reasonably priced, speed of the service quite vary (we left one not being served, whilst just the next one was really quick). The local market is just a step from here, very ‘local’ one-worth to see.

The castle grounds cover a very large area. To explore most expect a lot of walking. It is worth seeing!!

The square is an interesting point in central part of old Meknes. Part of it was under renovation, but I was able to walk around the market and it was quite interesting.

Such a beautiful experience in meknes in bab el mansour

Still under construction, but you can get a good glimpse of its glory. It will be fabulous when finished.

3 April 2023. Under renovation. It is covered by a big plastic poster. But you can see the finely painted stucco from the edge.

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Desert Experience! Staying at Merzouga Paradise Luxury Camp was truly the highlight of our trip to Morocco! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The tents were spotless, beautifully decorated, and surprisingly comfortable—with real beds, private bathrooms, and even hot showers! The food was absolutely delicious—freshly cooked Moroccan dishes served under the stars by the campfire. The camel ride at sunset through the golden dunes was magical, and the Berber music around the fire at night created memories we’ll never forget. What really sets this place apart is the team. They treated us like family, always checking if we needed anything and sharing their culture with pride. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely disconnected from the noise of the world. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic, and luxurious desert experience—this is the place. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Merzouga!

Gate it's opened and restaured

You Cant see it properly. There are like 10 police cars stationed in front and next to it it's like a construction site. The Medina also, such a mess.

The most beatifull door in Morocco the Lahdim square make it "grandiose".

Beautiful mausoleum with intricate carvings. It's free to enter, but it wasn't too busy. You need to take off your shoes to enter the burial chamber.

A must see when you visit Meknes. They are closed during lunchtime, reopening around 3pm (when we visited it was 3.05-ish…). Not that much to see in the courtyards leading to the Mausoleum, but the Mausoleum is really spiritual. Leave your shoes outside and sit on a carpet and let the room inspire you.

Certainly worth seeing when you are in Meknès, the entrance is free. Note that the working hours on google are incorrect. I went on a Sunday, and they closed the doors behind me at 12h30 for a lunchtime break until 15h.

Great place! It is not only important for religion, but also for Alawite dynasty. There is no entrance fee, but it is nice to leave some money for the conservation of the site to immam (having custody over the mausoleum).Modest dress is required (for men and women). To enter the last part you habe to take your shoes off and leave themnoutside. It is closed from 12h00 to 15h00.

As a non Muslim I visited on a Friday, and was told no entrance until after 3pm. I'm not sure whether this restricted viewing applies everyday. The gate, entrance and the whole area I beautiful

Most beautiful application of Zellige I've seen in Morocco. Meknes, in general, really reflects the traditional Moroccan spirit, and this is where it peaks.

A beautiful, clean, well kept, and culturally important site.

Unfortunately there is no water anymore. The lake is completely dry due to the severe drought. It was really a sad view. Visited on July 31, 2022.

There is no water left

No water at this time of the year, it was a lovely place 6 years ago

البحيره جافه تماما We have visited the lake and we found it completely dried

No water, no maintenance, natural space only!

when i been there was no water but i hope in the future will because it's a beautiful place and antic

Nice service. Good quality food.. very clean place

⭐ 5/5 The towering Atlas cedar trees create a cool, shaded atmosphere perfect for relaxing walks or quiet moments in nature 🌳✨. Some of the trees are ancient and absolutely breathtaking. One of the main attractions is the wild Barbary macaques 🐒. They roam freely and are used to people, often coming close hoping for a snack 🍌. They’re fun to watch but can be sneaky, so keep your food and belongings safe 😄. The forest trails are well-maintained and great for nature photography 📸 or escaping the summer heat. Visiting in spring or autumn provides the best weather 🌤️. Bring comfortable shoes, water, and some snacks. Be respectful of the environment—some areas near the entrance can be littered, so it’s important to clean up after yourself ♻️. This is a magical, easy-to-reach nature spot perfect for families, solo travelers, or anyone who loves trees, animals, and fresh mountain air 💚.

Impressive forest. Do note that this particular spot will require you to drive 4km on unpaved road, which is slightly uncomfortable in a street car. No need to go through this hassle if you only want to see and feed the monkeys, you can do that on the side if the main road too.

We had a short stop during the tour and it was a beautiful natural spot known for its towering cedar trees and peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great place to take a walk, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and watch the famous Barbary macaques in their natural habitat. The forest feels serene and untouched — perfect for nature lovers or anyone looking to relax away from the city.

Always a lovely time. Note that there are standard prices for the peanuts and horse rides. They're posted. Currently 5dh for peanuts and up to 100dh for the horse ride/pictures. The rates are posted at the entrance to the park. Its a beautiful place to visit and semi-relaxing...those monkeys can get aggressive though

Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and families. Just remember to be respectful of the wildlife and avoid feeding the monkeys directly

Eight centuries, forty metres of skyward reach, and an 8-metre crown of wisdom Cedre Gouraud is the living king of Azrou’s forest. Worth a visit - Ifrane Natural Park 2025 - By Morocco Exposure Travel company- Abderrahmane Oukajji/ Anir Bastos

Dirty, not maintained and a bit forgotten, maybe it’s due to macaque which are freely occupying this and place around (you can find them in whole Henri Gourard forest). Multiple hiking trails inside this national forest park makes the occurrence with macaque monkeys 🐒 very easy.
