Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Essaouira, Fez, Marrakech,and many more Moroccan cities have one thing in common and its their medina. If you travel to any city in Morocco, you must absolutely check where the Medina is and plan a couple hours at least to visit it.

Some of the most famous Medinas in Morocco include the Medina of Marrakech, the Medina of Tangier, the Medina of Fez, the Medina of Tangier and the Medina of Chefchaouen.
