Fez, Morocco

Africa has plenty of great travel destinations, but when most people think of Morocco, Marrakesh is normally the first place that comes to mind. While it’s worth visiting, there’s another Moroccan town that is just as exciting: Fez. Here you’ll find a great blend of the old and the new. It’s a place of seemingly contrasting colors and textures which is exactly what gives it its appeal. Narrow alleyways give way to ancient buildings, crowded main streets open up to huge, sprawling markets.

Simply put, the vibes are immaculate. There’s an unmistakable thrum of energy to Fez, a feeling of “alive-ness” which makes it particularly welcoming to travelers with a taste for excitement.
