These African countries are among the world’s 20 best places to visit in 2020

Marrakech, Morocco – 6th position

Marrakesh, is a former imperial city in western Morocco and a major economic center and home to mosques, palaces and gardens. The Medina is a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire, with mazelike alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewelry. A symbol of the city, and visible for miles, is the Moorish minaret of 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque.

Stating why Marrakech is another up-and-coming destination on the list of the 20 best places to visit in 2020, Ovation Travel Group travel advisor Susan Ganis says: “It has one-of-a-kind experiences such as a candlelit dinner in the middle of the desert replete with camel rides, belly dancers and fire eaters. Travelers who are active and adventurous and interested in different cultural experiences are encouraged to pay a visit.”
