Asilah
The fishing village of Asilah, south of Tangier, has become a
popular seaside resort because of its nearby Paradise Beach,
relaxing ambience, and picturesque 15th-century Andalusian medina,
which extends to the sea wall. The town is small enough to explore
on foot (donkey carts are also a fun option) and is renowned for
its restaurants specialising in seafood. It is accessible from
Tangier by train, which makes it a popular spot for young tourists
to recuperate after seeing the sights of the city. Asilah is fairly
quiet for most of the year, except when artists and performers
descend for the Asilah Arts Festival each August.
Information & Facts
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
