Alisah was under Spanish rules for years. That, coupled with its proximity to its former ruling country and the number of Spanish tourists visiting every year, Asilah's restaurants are very heavily influenced by the Spanish tradition. Many of their menus will offer dishes like paella, tortilla, tagine and couscous. Given this city's proximity to the coast, you'll also want to take advantage of any fresh seafood dishes you'll find. Walk along the Avenue Mohamed el Hassani near the southeast wall of the medina to choose from any of the restaurants with covered terraces. Have a seat and enjoy a mint tea. If you'd rather serve yourself, visit the fruit and vegetable market just south of Bab Al-Homar.
Many hotels provide breakfast at no additional cost, while others charge extra. The quality and price can vary widely from hotel to hotel. Knowing this ahead of time can help you decide if you should budget more. You might find the hotel's buffet is a worthwhile investment, or perhaps a nearby bakery or cafe could be a cheaper alternative.
Fill up a water bottle rather than buying drinks every chance you get. It's also kinder to the earth.
Thinking about a tour? Check which meals are included beforehand. You might need to budget for some meals on your own, which can add to your expenses.

Most Moroccan cities will have an old town, known as the medina, and a more modern side of town, known as the ville nouvelle. The medina in Asilah is small, clean and known for its iconic stone fortifications flanked by palms. These structures were built by the Portuguese in the 15th century, and today, are the town's landmark.
Another shining example of the Moorish style can be seen in the center of Asilah's small new town. The Church of San Bartolome was built by Spanish Franciscans in the colonial Moorish style,and is one of the few churches in the country allowed to ring the bells for Sunday Mass.
If you happen to be visiting during the Asilah Festival, visit the seaside of the medina to view the Palais de Culture (Palace of Culture). Built in 1909 by the powerful Er-Raissouli, this palace is only open during the festival or for temporary exhibits. This gorgeous building has a main reception room, and a glass-fronted terrace with an ocean view and a grisly past. From this spot, Er-Raissouli forced convicted murderers to jump to the deaths on the rocks below.
If the haunting history of Asilah isn't on your itinerary, perhaps you'd be more interested in lounging some of the beautiful beaches. The main beach in Asilah is a long stretch of golden sand, but be prepared that if you're there in the summer, it can get quite crowded and noisy. If you need a bit more peace and quiet, go a little south to Paradise Beach. This spot offers a pleasant walk along the coast, and even has horse-drawn carriages in the summertime.
For a truly unique experience, try to plan your trip to coincide with the Asilah Festival. Focused on the Centre de Hassan II Recontres Internationales, this festival brings artists, musicians, performers and over 200,000 spectators in for three days of workshops, public art demonstrations, concerts, exhibitions and events. This event, drawing in visitors from around the world, is also known to include a Moroccan fantasia – a musket firing cavalry charge – toward the end of the festival.
The city of Alisah has become a haven for local, African artists. You'll want to take advantage and go to as many galleries as you can find – including the Aplanos Gallery. Created by Belgian painter Anne-Judith Van Loock and her Moroccan husband, Ahmed Benraadiya, this gallery hosts many works from local and foreign visitors. Another gallery hosting young local artists would be the Galerie Hakim – started by artist Hakim Ghailan.

Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget
It's important to set realistic expectations for your travel budget. Many assume they can get by cheaply in Asilah, but most people don't enjoy traveling on a very tight budget. Think about how you like to travel, and whether you prefer resorts, hostels, or vacation rentals. Do activities like sightseeing and dining out matter to you? These factors will help shape your travel budget.
What Defines a Budget Traveler?
You might think you're a budget traveler, but unless you're willing to sacrifice many comforts, expect to spend a lot more than the average of $39 per day that backpackers typically manage.
Younger budget travelers sometimes stick to a shoestring budget, which usually means staying in hostel dorms, eating at budget restaurants or fast food, relying on public transportation or walking, and limiting activities to free attractions.
So, are you average?
If you're a family or couple enjoying a vacation, you'll most likely want to stay in a mid-range hotel, eat at trendy restaurants, and check out the main museums and attractions that charge for entry. Tourists visiting Asilah generally aim to explore the major attractions, museums, and significant landmarks. Keep in mind that most activities have costs associated with them. Hence, you should realistically expect your daily budget to hover around $91 per person, per day.
Looking to Travel in Luxury?
If your ideal trip includes every luxury and top-tier service, be ready to budget around $180 per day. A stay at nicer hotels, meals at prestigious restaurants, fancy excursions, and getting around the destination with taxis or private drivers will cost you more.
