Fes el Bali and Fes Jdid, collectively known as the Medina of Fez, were included on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1981.

Fes el Bali, often recognized as the Arab world's best-preserved medina, is a living museum, where you can explore Moroccan history and heritage. Mosques, madrasas, hammams, and donkeys hauling carts down the cobblestone paths are still present in fascinating maze-like streets today.

It is the world's largest urban region without automobiles, so it's an ideal place for couples to walk, taking time with Morocco.

A Moroccan cooking class in the medina will give you many incredible experiences. It is not just about cooking but a chance to experience Moroccan life in depth. The staff will lead you to buy fresh goods in the farmer's market, show you how to prepare the ingredients, and guide you to cook traditional Moroccan food. It is also an appealing activity for couples to enjoy leisure time together.

Just outside of the medina, there is the Spanish Mosque on the hill. Around the mosque, fields of vibrant flowers dance in the breeze and shine in the sun. From the top of the hill, you can have the best views of the entire city and its surroundings.

5. High Atlas

Some of Morocco's most fascinating and stunning places may be found in the High Atlas, the largest mountain range in North Africa. The High Atlas has special wildlife, including birds like Moussier's redstart, butterflies like Moroccan copper and some species of reptile. Local flora can also leave you a deep impression with its brilliant colors and wide range of variety.

New couples can sit on the beach, watching the sun rise and set as the water is cast by the sun in red, orange and purple.

Asilah medina is also worth visiting. Its buildings are painted in all kinds of colors, mostly including white, blue and green. Some visitors recommend this old town as a place in picture books, which attracts you to take photos.

It is the largest city in Morocco, regarded as the center of economy and business.
