There are plenty of tourists around, some hustlers, but all in all Asilah is a relaxed place to be. Beautiful Asilah is well worth a stop on your Morocco journey. Asilah is beautiful with whitewashed houses, broken by some blue wall painting or door. In many areas the standard is higher than in Morocco in general. Asilah is much of a hangout for artists, and walking around the place you will spot many traces of their activity, like paintings on house walls. Before heading to Tangier.
