Morocco
We have all heard so much about Morocco as its influence can especially be felt in large cities in the US and Europe. If you are into good food, shopping, and fashion, you have to visit Marrakech.
This once imperial city has beautiful palaces, gardens, and the typical old town family homes riads; many of which are transformed into luxury hotels. The medina or the old town feels like a labyrinth of shops with textiles, pottery, and jewelry. Your point of orientation should be the Koutoubia Mosque, a minaret of 12th-century very close to the famous square Jemaa el-Fna.
