City walls are always in red in Morocco. Here, around Azemmour, you will find one of the nicest city walls in the country, with small but well-kept gates. But as soon as you enter, the colour red disappears, and white, blue and yellow start to dominate. Azemmour is a little visited town, not far from El-Jadida. It is nevertheless a nice town, with a living old city in better condition than many other old cities in Morocco. There are some sights around that you should head for: the Kasbah even if much of it is in ruins, the powderhouse, and the former Jewish quarters, of which a synagogue is still infrequently in use.
Being a foreigner to Azemmour is not a lonely experience, soon there will a group of kids following you around, doing every possible thing to draw your attention to themselves. The photo to the right shows the old synagogue of Azemmour, found in the Jewish quarters that were abandoned in the early 1960s.
