With a population of just 150,763, Taza is a modest Moroccan city that lacks the glitz of Casablanca or the cultural magnetism of Marrakesh. The old medina offers some historic charm, but the city's geographic isolation in the mountain passes can be a persistent headache, and the extreme summer heat reaching over 46°C is no small consideration. While the Rif and Middle Atlas ranges provide scenic backdrops, Taza is unlikely to captivate most expats seeking the excitement of Morocco's more iconic destinations.
