Best Places To Visit In Morocco

Marrakesh

When thinking about Morocco – Marrakesh comes to mind. It is the country’s fourth largest city and a major hub. It is a fusion of colors, sounds, and smells that you won’t get anywhere else in the world.

At the heart of it all is Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, where street performers, food stalls, and local artisans bring together their goods and services for onlookers.

Explore the stunning Bahia Palace, with its exquisite gardens, mosaics, and intricate stucco work in true Islamic and Moroccan style. Admire the grandeur of the Koutoubia Mosque, an iconic landmark with a towering minaret that stands 77 meters (253 ft) tall.

A must see is Jardin Majorelle, a vibrant botanical garden that was once owned by the artist Jacques Majorelle and later by Yves Saint Laurent. Nearby, you can explore the rich cultural heritage of the Berber people at the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts or immerse yourself in the world of high fashion and art at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent.

Don’t forget to wander through the bustling souks, where you can pick up unique goods like handmade rugs, spices, and jewelry.

Fez

Fez, Morocco’s oldest city, is like taking a step back in time. It has one of the largest car-free urban areas, and its medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through the medina, getting lost in the stalls of leather, textiles, rugs, carpets, metal work, and other goods.

You can even witness the age-old art of leather-making at one of the largest tanneries in the world – a Moroccan specialty. Another iconic site to see is Al-Qarawiyyin University, one of the oldest universities in the world, founded in 859 AD. It’s a center of learning and the history of Islamic culture, and it is truly a marvel. After a long day of walking, rejuvenate in one of Fez’s traditional hammams (local spas).

Sahara Desert

If you are looking to escape to your own private oasis, imagine staying overnight in a luxury desert camp with stunning night views of the stars and unmatched tranquility. Embark on a camel trek over the dunes, go sandboarding, take an ATV ride, or visit oasis towns.

Perfect for a romantic honeymoon or a lavish trip, time in the Sahara is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Tangier

Tangier is a city where Spanish, French, and Moroccan cultures converge. This is especially evident in its vibrant café culture, which seamlessly fuses Moroccan traditions with European charm. Enjoy the Petit Socco, a charming little plaza full of cafes.
The squares are lively yet relaxing, offering a mix of languages spoken by locals and travers alike — Arabic, French, Spanish, and sometimes English. Check out the Kasbah of Tangier, an ancient citadel nestled in the medina, is a must-visit for its rich history and breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.

Essaouira

If you are looking for a change of pace, head over to Essaouira, a beach town on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. This coastal city offers a perfect blend of vibrant city life, scenic beaches, and historic charm, all surrounded by impressive ramparts (ancient city walls). The port is a central feature of Essaouira’s history, with its bustling fish market and colorful boats adding to the city’s lively atmosphere.

Essaouira’s long sandy beach is ideal for sunbathing, kite surfing, and windsurfing, making it a top destination for water sports enthusiasts. True to Morocco’s rich cultural heritage, the medina offers a wide breadth of market stalls offering everything from leather to spices.

Casablanca

Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and economic powerhouse, boasting the nation’s biggest port. Its colonial history blends French and Moroccan heritages.

Be sure to visit the iconic Hassan II Mosque, featuring a stunning 210-meter-tall minaret, the tallest in the world. The mosque is an architectural marvel, with hand-carved stone and wood, and intricate mosaics. Also, check out The Corniche, a scenic coastal promenade lined with delicious restaurants, charming cafes, and sandy beaches.

Atlas Mountains

Whether you’re interested in hiking or mountain biking, the Atlas Mountains offer something for nature and adventure lovers. The diverse range of hills, valleys, and rugged peaks provides stunning views, perfect for photography and outdoor adventures. A highlight is the Toubkal Summit, North Africa’s highest peak, offering an incredible challenge for hikers. You can also explore traditional Berber villages, immersing yourself in the local culture, or go camel trekking through the foothills for a unique experience.

Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen, often called “The Blue Pearl” of Morocco, is known for its beautiful blue and white houses nestled in the hills of the Reif Mountains. Most tourists simply stroll through the narrow winding streets looking at the homes while also shopping for artisanal goods, including handwoven rugs, woolen clothing, leather products, and Berber jewelry. A visit to the Kasbah, a restored 15th-century fortress, is a must—featuring a museum, beautiful gardens, and a tower that offers panoramic views of the stunning blue medina and surrounding mountains.

Rabat

Rabat, Morocco’s capital, is a city rich in history, culture, and architecture. The city retains its historical charm, still surrounded by ancient ramparts and fortifications, while serving as both an administrative and imperial city. Home to the royal residence and the iconic Hassan Tower, a famous mosque and minaret, Rabat is home to many Islamic heritage landmarks. One popular attraction is the Kasbah of the Udayas, a historic area with gardens, narrow streets, and ornate gates. Visitors can enjoy stunning ocean views while exploring the city’s architectural and cultural works.

Ouarzazate

Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara,” is a unique destination in southern Morocco. Known for its iconic kasbahs and fortified villages, it has served as the backdrop for many TV shows and movies, with Ait Benhaddou being one of the most famous. You can even tour the Atlas Film Studios, where blockbusters like The Mummy were filmed, making the film industry a major part of the region’s identity. The city is also home to stunning Moroccan architecture and design at every turn. Plus, its proximity to the Sahara Desert offers opportunities for exciting desert activities.
