The Sahara Desert (Erg Chebbi) – Sleep Under the Stars

Golden dunes that ripple for miles, camel rides at sunset, and nights under skies bursting with stars — the Sahara is what adventure dreams are made of. Stay in a luxury camp, eat tagine by the fire, and wake up with sand between your toes.

Marrakech – The City That Never Stops Buzzing

Snake charmers, labyrinthine souks, hidden riads, and lush gardens — Marrakech is a sensory overload in the best way. Don’t miss the vibrant Jemaa el-Fnaa square or the calming Jardin Majorelle.

The Atlas Mountains – Epic Views, Tiny Villages

If Morocco had a scenic drive award, the road through the Atlas Mountains would win. Whether you’re skiing in Ifrane, hiking to monkey-finger-shaped rock formations, or sipping tea in a stone village, this is high-altitude heaven.

⛰️ Feeling the hiking itch? Pair this with our top hikes around the world and start planning that ultimate trekking trip.

The Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca – Majesty by the Sea

Sitting right on the Atlantic coast, this mosque is as big as it is beautiful. It’s one of the only mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims — and the detail inside will leave you speechless. Think marble floors, mosaics, and a retractable roof.

Todra Gorge – A Hidden Canyon Playground

Todra is where the mountains rise straight into the sky and a tiny river carves its way through the rock. It’s dramatic, peaceful, and ideal for hiking or just marveling at nature’s architecture.

🚗 Side note: if you love a good road trip through natural wonders, add Todra to your itinerary. Or check out our favorite scenic drives for something closer to home.

Fes – A Medieval City Frozen in Time

Lose yourself in the narrow alleys of Fes — seriously, Google Maps won’t help. Home to the world’s oldest university and legendary leather tanneries, Fes is a time warp in the best way.

Essaouira– Windy, Beachy, Boho

This coastal town is full of whitewashed houses, blue shutters, and the smell of grilled fish in the air. Great for surfing, chilling, and pretending you’re in a movie.

🎨 Want seaside vibes without the sand in your shoes? These places to visit in Virginia Beach might just scratch the itch.

Rabat – Underrated Capital Cool

Often skipped for flashier spots, Rabat is where modern Morocco meets its regal past. Palaces, museums, and chilled-out beaches? Yes, please.

🏛️ It’s the capital city energy with zero stress. Looking for other cool capital cities? Washington, D.C. day trippers, we got you.

Koutoubia Mosque – A Marrakech Icon

Towering above the city, this 12th-century mosque is a stunner, even if you can’t go inside. The surrounding gardens are perfect for a break from the buzz.

Merzouga – The Edge of the Earth

If the Sahara is calling, Merzouga is the front door. This village is the launchpad for desert camps, quad biking, and sandboarding down those crazy orange dunes.

Jardin Majorelle – Marrakech’s Most Instagrammed Garden

Created by a French painter and later revived by Yves Saint Laurent, this garden is a technicolor dream. Bold blues, cacti from around the globe, and calm paths that feel like magic.

UNESCO Gems: Meknes, Aït-Ben-Haddou & Volubilis

Morocco’s UNESCO sites are like stepping into different centuries. From the imperial city of Meknes to the desert fortress of Aït-Ben-Haddou (Game of Thrones fans, take note), these places are dripping with history.

Morocco isn’t just one destination — it’s dozens of stories unfolding across deserts, mountains, coasts, and ancient cities. Whether you’re chasing sunsets in the Sahara or sipping mint tea in a hidden riad, every moment here feels a little bit magical.
