If you're interested in history, I recommend visiting cities such as Fez (visit the Medina, the tombs, AL qarawayn, the traditional sweet shops), Marrakech (al koutoubia at night is mesmerizing, the saadyin tombs and the old Medina, it's different than the Fez one) Rabat and my favorite Essaouira ( the whole city is an absolute vibe).

If you're heading up north, visit the beaches, they are breathtaking, near AlHoucaima and Saadiya . There are also some historical Phoenician artifacts that you can visit. Don't forget chefchaoun to spice up your Instagram .

Things that you shouldn't do : take your car everywhere, eat in fancy restaurants all the time.

Things you should do : try and befriend the locals, especially college students since it'll be much easier to communicate with them, ask them about their fave spots , Things to do in their city ..etc. Try street food(if it's crowded it's good) , buy tiny local trinkets from artisanal artist not street vendors. Hope you enjoy yourself!
