Situated next to the Djemma Fnaa, the souks are worth a stroll. Make sure you don’t miss the Moroccan spice vendors, and the paintings, leather goods, and carpets are a great souvenir to take home.

Dating back to the 16th century, the Saadian Tombs are the resting place of Sultan Ahmed el Mansour and his family.The tombs are lavish and breathtaking with the cemetery garden alive with rich fragrances of rosemary and roses, with large palm trees providing shade.

Chez Ali delivers all sorts of entertainment food, music and dance. Once there, you can enjoy horseback stunts, the flying carpet, fireworks, belly dancers, folkloric spectacles, and fantasia shows.
One of the most intriguing things to watch is the fantasia show. The show is originated from the Rif; it is basically a war ceremony where each group of horseman exhibits the best rides if his tribe. Each group member quivers away and points his rifle to the sky and shoots at the same time as his tribe members.
