ASILAH, Morocco 🇲🇦 | Why Visit?

Asilah أصيلة located on the coast of Morocco around 30km south from Tangier is a beautiful historic seaside town!
Its medina or historic center, is enclosed by exceptionally well preserved 15th-century ramparts and gates, originally built by colonial Portuguese.
Although small, its medina is a hub for art, known for its murals and Moussem Culturel International d’Asilah, an annual art festival.
In this video I'll show you around and you'll see why it's well worth a visit from Tangier if you have time.

    Chefchaouen and Ifrane are fantastic visits in North Morocco. I went on a surf trip to Morocco in 1978, met a French Moroccan woman and ended up spending a lot if time in Morocco.

    I am latin American and found out several years ago my father's father and all my great grandfathers were Moroccan. It was a total surprise and something no one in my family knew. I later found out my Moroccan relatives likely were originally from northern Morocco and likely lived in towns just like Asilah or perhaps even included Asilah. Thank you for sharing this great video so that we newly discovered Moroccans in the Americas can learn about our relatives homeland and what life is like there.

    Hi Chris, just wanted to quickly say that your videos are amazing, keep it up! I'm from Morocco and I like how you cover off-the-beaten-track cities and towns that we're familiar with but a lot of tourists might not be 👍 Btw, loved your Iran series too, maybe you should edit that into one long documentary and sell it to some tv channel because it was honestly that good 😉 All the best!

    "reacting great to the camera"? I know you have had mixed reactions, some outright negative? I know you are very open about what you are filming, but I'm wondering if you have a small camera setup as it may be less intimidating? 🤔

    Don't forgrt that a country like usa for expl is 250 time rich than Morocco. Barcelonna is more rich than the all 5 country of the nord africa so we don't have the budget to devlop every beach or part of Morocco.
