What to see, what to do in Morocco?

Places to Visit

Every trip to Morocco is an adventure. Our neighboring country has a lot to offer you, from great imperial cities to amazing landscapes that seem from another era. Cultural trips, family trips, or relaxation, this country adapts to the demands of every traveler. So close and so different, it is a most exotic destination. The hospitality of its people will make you feel as if you were walking through your own city, while you come across a curious and different culture, influenced by the Berbers, Spanish and French, an irresistible combination. Many of its towns and cities look like a little piece of Andalusia! These are some of the essential places you have to see in Morocco.

• Marrakech: a city that will impress you not only because of its architecture but also because of the way of life of its inhabitants. You cannot miss its souk, the Bahia Palace or the Koutoubia Mosque, among others. Wandering and letting yourself go without haste is the trick to be part of this unique atmosphere. This is how the alleys enchant one and guide you to, for example, the Plaza Jemaa el Fna, el corazón de Marrakech. Su constante ebullición hace que este lugar lata con fuerza por el día y sobre todo durante la noche, cuando las guirnaldas de luces iluminan su cielo anunciando música y acción. Desde aquí puedes hacer varias excursiones como a la costa en Essaouira, joya del atlántico marroquí; o a Ouarzazate, con su impresionante kasbah anaranjada en medio de la nada.

• Xauen: a small blue city high in the Atlas Mountains with Berber, Spanish and Sephardic influence. The color that floods everything will make you feel calm walking through its alleys and interacting with its inhabitants. Located in the middle of nature, you can get closer to its waterfalls and walk through the valley, while the day fades and gives way to a clear sky in which you will not stop seeing shooting stars.

• Tangier: this beautiful city will remind you of Andalusia and you will surely hear Spanish spoken. To visit it is to embark on a journey to the 50's full of charm and nostalgia. Tangier offers a more “western” atmosphere but without neglecting tradition, embodied in its mythical cafes with terraces facing the sea.

• Sahara Desert: sleeping one night in the Sahara desert and watching the stars is one of the adventures that you must experience at least on one of your trips to Morocco. It looks like a landscape from another planet, simply made up of an immensity of dunes, camels and small camps. You are going to enjoy one of the most beautiful celestial vaults you have ever seen.

To do?

• Discover the tanneries of Fez with their impressive smells and colors.
• Delve into Casablanca, the economic and financial capital of Morocco, a city marketed by the French protectorate and where you will find the highest mosque in the world, the Hassan II Mosque.
• Get lost in the souks of each and every one of the Moroccan cities you visit, and haggle with the buyers to get the best souvenirs.
• Travel to the Sahara desert and sleep under the blanket of stars.
• Hike through the High Atlas, reach the top of Toukbal (the 'roof of North Africa') and discover the quietest part of the country.
