There are plenty of historic sites to discover like El Badi Palace, restored 19th century fortresses like Ait Benhaddou or Fes-Inn SLF, traditional Berber villages, desert oases such as Ouzoud Falls or Agafay Desert, medinas offering a multitude of exciting shopping experiences, hammams (public bathhouses) to relax in after a long day's exploration - there's something here for everyone!

Two popular tourist destinations to visit include Jemaa el Fna Square - an expansive public square located at the center of old Marrakech bustling with activity throughout the day - and Medina Ben Youssef - an ancient mosque built in 1157AD by Yusuf ibn Tashfin as part of his rule over Almoravid dynasty. An interesting historical fact about this region is that it was used during World War II by French forces as part of Operation Torch against Nazi-occupied North Africa.
