Tangier Palace - Tangier has many palaces, and many of them have been well taken care of. Styles and size vary, but many are of high artistic class. It used to belong to American multimillionaire Malcolm Forbes. The palace is open for visitors, and exhibits Forbes' collection of military miniatures. |

Merenid tombs - There is not much left from the Merenid tombs anymore, here to the north of the city near the Bab el Guissa. But the view over the city, as well as the knowledge that the Merenid rulers were central in making Fez the cultural and religious capital of Morocco, will make the visit worthwhile. |

Marabout - A few kilometers from "Casa", on a rocky island that can only be reached at low tide, stands the Marabout de Sidi Abderrahmane koubba, magnificent in the light of the setting sun. The holy man was said to have had miraculous powers - and judging by the sick and infirm who come to visit his tomb hoping for a cure, there must be many who believe that it is true. |

Fez - The capital of Morocco for all together more than 400 years, home of the oldest university of the country and the leading cultural and religious center. Fez is also the home of the oldest an largest medieval city in the world, a city that is almost unchanged through the modern ages and still most definately alive. Fez was founded in 789 at a place between the mountains where the river was flushing by. History has provided the city with long periods of hardship, but Fez has never died. Today it has its own culture, pride, art and even cuisine.

Spanish lighthouse - Out of town, at a tiny little cape on the Atlantic shore, the old, still standing Spanish light house is located. Rising 240 steps, it is visible from most places inside Dakhla. From the top of the light house, about half of the peninsula of Dakhla can be seen, and of course. |
 |
Atlantic beaches - There are several Atlantic beaches west of Tangier, which all offer a good alternative to the town beach. The setting of these beaches can be most attractive, with mountains on all sides, yet with a wide and clean beach with all necessary amenities. |
