Morocco is a country of ancient traditions deeply embedded in modernity and offers a unique tapestry against which historical sites take each visitor on a seeming time travel. From the winding alleys of old cities to majestic remnants of civilization left behind by Romans, the rich history of Morocco comes out remarkably vivid with its extremely well-preserved landmarks.

The current report focuses on three historical places: the ancient city of Fes, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, and the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. In this context, these sites not only underline Morocco's cultural heritage but also portray an exceedingly realistic case for tourists to trace their way through time.

Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah
