The Orient of Morocco is an area in the country's northeast that is known for its rich cultural history and stunning landscapes. The region has seen a rise in tourism due to its stunning natural beauty, traditional culture, and exciting activities. Tourists can explore the Kasbahs of the Sahara Desert, hike through the Atlas Mountains, or take part in adventure activities such as camel rides and sandboarding. Those looking for a taste of traditional Morocco can visit medieval fortified villages like Ait Benhaddou or explore historic cities like Fez with its labyrinthine medina (old city).

One of the highlights of visiting this region is Chefchaouen, a hillside town known for its pastel-colored buildings and cobblestone streets. Other places worth checking out are Volubilis - an ancient Roman ruin among rolling hills - and Ouarzazate - famous for its desert scenery used in many Hollywood movies. One interesting historical fact about this area is that it was once home to one of North Africa's largest Jewish communities until their expulsion during World War II.
