An African skiing adventure
Sat in the foothills of the Atlas mountains, the city has a wonderful mix of the traditional souks and bazaars for those looking to find themselves a bargain.
But for those more concerned with alpine activities, skiing on the snows of the Atlas mountains in January or February could be a welcome change from a trip to the Alps.
The nearest resort to the city lies at Oukaimeden, with both ski lifts available to carry you to a height of above 3,200 metres.
Views from the mountaintops over the country below may alone be worth the journey, whether you are a skier or not.
With the highest mountain in the range nearby and views towards the Sahara on offer, skiing in Morocco can make an interesting change from a traditional trip to the increasingly-crowded Alps.
But for those looking to stay in the city, there's nothing to beat the haggling and bartering in the city's famous markets.
