Casablanca is one of the world's most iconic cities.

Michael Curtiz's noir classic instantly ensured millions of tourists would pay homage to the place where Humphrey Bogart and Ingmar Bergman played out a love affair as Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet and Paul Henreid engaged in derring-do as WWII simmered in the background. 

Ah, Marrakech. This fantastical city set at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains is bursting to its ancient fortified walls with markets, mosques, medrassas, museums, gardens, synagogues and rooftop restaurants. 

Morocco's laid-back capital is packed with markets with an endless variety of produce.

The glaring white of some of Rabat's buildings sets off magnificently against the cobalt sky at night.

You can explore the tiny back streets, whose parallel walls you can touch by extending your hands.

Don't miss the Casbah des Oudaya - a secretive world which dates back into the Middle Ages. 

Rabat also has a wonderful public garden - the Jardins Exotiques - where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of street life for a while.

Agadir is one of the major arrival points for travellers to Morocco, with a stunning beach, vibrant sea-front cafes and huge apartment blocks and hotels crowding its oceanfront.

At night Agadir's promenades teem with life as people take advantage of the excellent weather.

Lying just across the strait from Gibraltar, the city that gave its name to the tangerine is eponymous with '50s and '60s hedonism.

A fascinating history of Greek, Roman and Arabic rule along with the indigenous berbers underpins its multicultural vibe.
