Check out Hassan II Mosque, Quartier Habous, Old Medina of Casablanca, Mahkama du Pacha, or take a day trip to Rabat. Consider a camel ride or a quad ride when you travel to Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Chefchaouen<\/strong> is the infamous Blue City, known for the Instagrammable blue buildings. This tradition started in the 1400\u2019s, when an influx of Jews escaping the Spanish inquisition came to the city and brought this tradition along. As the city has since expanded, the Old City still remains blue. If you travel to Morocco, it seems like Chefchaouen should be on your list. Try the creamy native goat cheese, step inside a mosque (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/11-proven-ways-to-be-a-responsible-traveler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dress appropriately!<\/a>), and take in the beauty of Cascades d\u2019Akchour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Agadir<\/strong> is southern Morocco\u2019s most popular city and a place to soak up the sun on the beach.
