Lesser-known tourist areas in Morocco

Although these places are enchanting and known for spectacular scenery, they are not well known to many Moroccans and visitors. Here are the best lesser-known places in Morocco for enjoying its natural beauty:

Paradise Valley

It lies around 20 km from Agadir and was given this name because its scenery blends sea and mountains, creating a unique biological setting unlike any other.

Oued Laou

This valley lies 45 km from the city of Tetouan, and among the area's main attractions are its wonderful mild weather all year round and the quiet that defines the place.

Mirleft

A village between the towns of Sidi Ifni and Tiznit, considered one of the best summer spots in Morocco, where you can take part in a number of activities and pastimes such as surfing and fishing.

M'Hamid El Ghizlane

It was once a passage for the caravans of gold traders and is therefore a witness to Morocco's ancient history, with many sand dunes.
