Fez
Once Morocco's capital, this ancient imperial city is bursting with colourful mosques, leafy courtyards and towering minarets. Wander down alleys lined with food stalls (be sure to try briouat, a puff pastry stuffed with either sweet or savoury fillings from meat and cheese to almond paste and cinnamon) and head to the 14th-century Merenid Tombs at sunset for views across the city.
Where to stay: Palais Amani, a stylish riad where interiors are traditionally decorated with tiled floors, Berber rugs and beautiful mosaiced walls (zellige, the art of painting and placing tiles, originated in Fez). Head to the hotel's spa to book hammam treatments in the rooftop pergola overlooking the city.
