Eagerly anticipated visiting the grand architectural legacies of 800 years of Arab rule in Spain. Andalusia region is your best choice, redolent of Moorish history, flamenco guitar music and the fragrance of orange blossoms: Cordoba, Granada and Seville, the last ones that remember a rich history where Peace, Culture and Love make a difference to a dark world of barbarism.
The Mezquita, or Great Mosque of Cordoba, is even more breathtaking in person, as is the Alhambra palace in Granada with its fragrant, blooming rose gardens and the beautifully preserved colorful mosaics of the Alcazar, the royal palace in Seville. To change the future for better life, recently Moroccans can enter Spain without visa, as long as their stay does not exceed 90 days and they don’t engage in any lucrative activity. Good Do!
Watch a video about forgotten libraries of the Sahara:

You could also visit Museums & Galleries, Ensemble Artisanal de Marrakech that was edified to preserve endangered Artisans know how. Essaouira is charming town to include in your holiday in Morocco. There's a range of Riads (Guest Houses) in the traditional, bustling medina and Boutique Hotels from which to explore the medina and active fishing port or to enjoy the long sandy beach on the Atlantic coast.
It is well suited to first time visitors wishing to explore a Moroccan walled town, the sandy beaches offering activities including water sports, for which it is renowned, and horse riding is available nearby. It lies around 2.5 hours west of Marrakech with which it ties in well for an interesting two centre holiday.
The heart of Essaouira is a small traditional medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, relatively unspoiled by tourism. The souks are quiet compared with Marrakech and offer an exciting range of craft goods including exquisite marquetry, made from the fragrant local thuya wood. The beautiful Portuguese architecture of the walled town ends at an attractive traditional fishing port, where many fish restaurants enjoy beautiful views of the Atlantic.
Essaouira is an exceptional example of a late 18th century fortified town, built according to the principles of contemporary European military architecture in a North African context.
In modern times the town has been well loved by artists and poets, and today offers visitors a seaside destination to relax or be active. Its 10 km long sandy bay offers an excellent range of water sports and is protected by the offshore island of Mogador.
There is the option of travel to/ from Marrakech by excellent coaches certified by travel agencies like Link Travel, Peak Adventure Travel Group or Atlas Voyages. It is feasible to visit Essaouira as a day trip from Marrakech, but it is well worthy of staying for a night or more.
Essaouira enjoys a very temperate (10°/22°C) climate and, therefore, is an ideal all year round destination (although it can be windy, especially in peak summer months). The coast is often breezy or windy in summer, and therefore feels several degrees cooler than inland.
Don't forget to explore other cities and villages with certified coaches and connect with people, they are friendly and in good mood and harmony with mother nature. They don't have the possibility to travel abroad to share with others the hidden treasure and richest culture of Morocco that's why they install satellite dishes on the roofs to connect with the world! We are humans
By the way I recommend solo traveler to wear something descent and join up with a group of travelers while on the street and also negotiate products if there's no price indicated.
