Travel to Asilah, visa requirements
Asilah lies on the rail line linking Tangier to Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, Meknes, and Fez.

It should also be easy to flag down a grand taxi along the road.
Get around
Asilah attractions and sightseeing
Like most Moroccan towns, Asilah consists of a medina and a ville nouvelle. The medina is small, clean, and features wall paintings by African artists. North and east of the medina, the ville nouvelle is also pleasant.
City tours
There are beautiful beaches both north and south of the town.
Shopping, Asilah souvenirs
Good restaurants and cheap meals
Due to its proximity to Spain and the large number of Spanish tourists it sees, Asilah's restaurants offer Spanish classics such as paella and tortilla in addition to the ubiquitous tagine and couscous. As there is only one restaurant in the medina, the ville nouvelle is a better bet for finding food.
