Jewish culture has been interwoven throughout Morocco for centuries and offers a golden opportunity for Jewish and non-Jewish travelers alike to discover the stories of the Jewish Mellah (old Jewish quarter), the vibrant Jewish community, Synagogues, Cemeteries, Zaouias, Andalusian and Moorish architecture, tombs and holy places, and the only Jewish Museum in the Islamic world.

When traveling to Morocco, these fantastic places are essential highlights not to be missed, all preserved respectively in the former Jewish neighborhoods of the medinas. All Jewish heritage sites in Morocco are either UNESCO World Heritage sites or protected by the Moroccan King and government and are regularly under renovation and preservation to ensure they remain a part of Morocco’s Jewish heritage.

Jews of Moroccan descent, in Israel and around the globe, are returning to Morocco often and some maintain second homes.  Jewish heritage tours are abundant and major sites of pilgrimage which are scattered around the country are visited, especially during the Hillouloth. A few of the most popular are Rabbi Yehouda Benattar (Fes), Rabbi Haim Pinto (Mogador), Rabbi Amram Ben Diwane (Ouezzan), and Rabbi Yahia Lakhdar ( Beni-Ahmed).
