🎨 Asilah is a charming whitewashed town on Morocco's northern Atlantic coast, just 46 km south of Tangier. Known for its annual International Cultural Festival and stunning street murals, this small town punches well above its weight in beauty and cultural significance.
🖌️ Art & Culture
Every August, the Asilah International Cultural Festival transforms the medina into an open-air gallery. Artists from around the world paint murals on the whitewashed walls, creating an ever-changing outdoor art exhibition that remains throughout the year.
🏘️ The Medina
Asilah's compact medina is one of Morocco's most beautiful — whitewashed walls draped in bougainvillea, blue-shuttered windows, and colorful murals at every turn. It's quieter and more relaxed than Essaouira, making it perfect for a peaceful day trip.
Getting There
Rent from OLIVIANA CAR in Tangier for a scenic 45-minute coastal drive to Asilah. Continue south along the coast for stunning cliff-top views and deserted beaches.
