THE KINGDOM
THROUGH THE LENS

Every landscape in Morroco tells a story before the camera even rolls.

CASABLANCA

Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and is well known to be Morocco’s economic powerhouse. Despite its modern, sophisticated and cosmopolitan look, it is still an ancient city with Berber roots and the colonial and art deco architecture tells its own story. Being positioned on the Atlantic, Casablanca has a moderate Mediterranean climate. During the summer months (June to September) rain is rare and temperatures are not as hot as elsewhere in Morocco. Its mild winters make Casablanca a comfortable year-round destination.

CHEFCHAOUEN

Founded in 1471 as a small fortress which still exists to this day, Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains in northwest Morocco, just inland from Tangier and Tetouan. The name refers to the shape of the mountaintops above the town, that look like the two horns (chaoua) of a goat. Its distinct blue-rinsed houses and buildings, and its proximity to Tangier and Ceuta make it a popular tourist and filming destination.

ERFOUD

Situated in the east of Morocco in the Tafilalt region, Erfoud is an oasis town in the Sahara Desert. Its appearance has been said to resemble certain areas of the planet Mars, and its beauty has attracted filmmakers and tourists for decades.

ESSAOUIRA

Formerly known as Mogador, Essaouira is a city on the Atlantic coast in the western Moroccan economic region of Marrakesh-Safi. The historic fortress walls that still enclose part of the city have given it an additional name which means “the little rampart.” The Medina of Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed city, an example of a late 18th-century fortified town as transferred to North Africa by European colonists. Essaouira’s climate is Mediterranean with oceanic influences, with a small gap between high and low temperatures, warm summers, and mild winters.

FES

Fez is located by the Atlas Mountains and was the capital city of modern Morocco until 1925. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is home to the oldest functioning university in the world and is considered one of the largest urban pedestrian zones globally./div>

MARRAKECH

Being one of Morocco’s three largest cities, Marrakech is an exciting and exotic destination with deep Berber heritage. The European-style pavement cafés contrast with the maze of traditional markets (souks), where Islamic art and architecture blend with vibrant nightlife. Marrakech attracts a vast number of tourists for its rich history, culture, and the scenic Atlas Mountains. With scarce rainfall, comfortable daytime temperatures, and mild nights, spring and autumn are the ideal seasons to visit. In June, hot desert winds may bring dust, while in August temperatures can exceed 40°C. Winter days remain relatively mild, while nights can drop to around 4–5°C.

OUARZAZATE

Nicknamed the “Door of the Desert,” Ouarzazate is a city in south-central Morocco. It is located south of the High Atlas Mountains at an elevation of 1,160 meters, set within a vast plateau. The town is home to both Darija (Arabic dialect) and Berber-speaking communities, who built many of the iconic kasbahs and structures the region is known for. Ouarzazate experiences hot, dry summers, while winters can be cold with icy winds descending from the High Atlas Mountains.

SIDI IFNI

Sidi Ifni is a city in southwest Morocco, located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. With a population of around 20,000, it is mainly inhabited by Berbers and Arabs from the Ait Baamrane tribe. The city has a desert climate, with temperatures ranging between 15°C and 21°C, and experiences very little rainfall throughout the year.

TANGIER

Situated on Morocco’s northern coast, Tangier has a rich and fascinating history shaped by a diverse mix of cultures. This unique blend has transformed it from a once overlooked city into a modern destination where Mediterranean charm meets traditional Arab heritage. Despite its Mediterranean climate, Tangier experiences relatively high rainfall for North Africa, especially during March and April. Summers are warm, with temperatures ranging between 26–28°C during the day and 17–18°C at night, making its beaches and attractions vibrant and popular. Autumn remains warm through September, while temperatures begin to drop in October and November, bringing a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere.
