Known for its diversity, Morocco cements itself in every traveler's must-go-to list. The historic sites, the breathtaking views, the interesting mix of cultures, and the budget-friendly souks keep tourists coming back for more.

One of the countless must-dos is de-stressing in a Moroccan steam bath. Guests can expect a refreshing experience at traditional hammams. Tabbayas or assistants make use of savon noir (black soap) to get rid of dead skin, as well as essential oils for a rejuvenating massage that follows.

A magnificent view of the northwestern Sahara is best enjoyed on a camel caravan. Spending the night camped under star-speckled skies is part of Moroccan lifestyle. Desert kasbahs tell the country's rich history through fortresses that have also been used as sets for Hollywood blockbusters.

Moroccan festivals also attract travelers with a passion for music. Just a few of the notable annual music fests are Tangier's Tanjazz in May, Essaouira's Gnaoua and World Music Festival in June, and Fes's Festival of World Sacred Music and Marrakech's Festival of Popular Arts, both in July.

For adrenaline junkies, the country serves as an exciting playground as well. Trekking up the High Atlas Mountains offers a magnificent bird's eye view of Morocco.

Watersports enthusiasts may also opt to ride the waves of the Atlantic, while mountaineers are sure to get their fix by rock-climbing and spelunking across the Middle and High Atlas Mountains, in view of millennia-old Berber petroglyphs.

Enjoy your trip to Morroco even more by staying at a world-class resort like Amanjena. One of Amanresorts’ jewels, it is composed of 18 air-conditioned Pavilions guaranteed to please guests with the highest standards. These consist of a bedroom/living area, a bathroom, a dressing area, and a private courtyard furnished with a gazebo, a sofa, and a dining area. Of the 18, six are Bassin Pavilions, located right in the heart of Amanjena. Eight Pool Pavilions include a terrace that opens up to the beautiful crystal waters of Marakkech.
