Who has been to Morocco? Any good recommendations?

My wife and I were there 2 years ago. My favorite places were Chefchaouen (the blue city) in the Rif mountains, Fez, and Tangiers. Casablanca was a tourist trap. Rabat on the Atlantic was cool as was Tetuan on the Med. We wanted to check out Marrakech but it was shut down due to the big earthquake they had. We hopped over from Spain on a puddle jumper, we didn't want to waste time with the ferries.

We flew from Malaga in Southern Spain to Tangiers, Morocco.

We ended up going to Marrakech.

JZ, you make such beautiful photos! This one inspires me to post the lyrics of the song Marrakesh Express Brings back memories of my trip there in the 1990s. 'Marrakesh Express' by Crosby, Stills, and Nash... Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes Travelling the train through clear Moroccan skies Ducks and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall-to-wall American ladies five-foot tall in blue Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen not to what's been said to you Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? They're taking me to Marrakesh All aboard the train, all aboard the train I've been saving all my money just to take you there I smell the garden in your hair Take the train from Casablanca going south Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth my mouth, my mouth Colored cottons hang in the air Charming cobras in the square Striped djellebas we can wear at home Well, let me hear ya now Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? They're taking me to Marrakesh Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? They're taking me to Marrakesh All on board the train All on board the train All on board
