Best Places to Visit in Morocco
In Morocco, there are immense deserts to pass, exotic cities to roam, and hidden nuggets of history to uncover just in one trip.

The Ultimate Desert Getaway
Unearth the treasures of the Sahara in Morocco’s scorched desert destinations. Whether you are staying in the village or camping out in the desert, Merzouga will deliver the ultimate desert dream. Camel trekking on the endless Erg Chebi dunes will make you forget about time. It is one of the best places to visit in Morocco. At night, come out from your tent for stargazing. The desert night sky is like no other, especially away from the city lights in Merzouga. When it comes to the matchless desert camp atmosphere, Zagora is also a Moroccan highlight. In the dreamy oasis, you will lose yourself in the authentic tunes of the Sahara surrounded by the hearty Bedouin culture.
High on the Atlas
In Morocco, mountains mean sinuous old ravines, kasbah-studded towns, and an intransigent road-bound culture. Deep in the Atlas, Dades Valley is a natural passageway that seems to connect them all. You will admire it best for its ageless kasbahs and dynamic spirit where the Bedouin nomads and nature are in united motion. Hike down from the valley and you have Ouarzazate. In itself, it is a cascade of red earthed Berber kasbahs and houses tumbling down the Atlas. Visit the spectacular Ait Ben Haddou at sunset, as the entire land catches fire with the sun. Things simmer down a notch in Azrou, another one of the best places to visit in Morocco, right at the foot of the Atlas. It is worthy of a day trip with its uneventful town and vivid nature.
A Bedazzling City Scene
When it comes to Moroccan big-city hassle and frenetic spirit, the golden trio of Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakech blaze the trail. A stream of cultural happenings rule the cities, from feverish souqs and stimulating stalls to age-old arts and crafts. Give yourself a few hours in the legendary Djemaa el-Fna of Marrakech to soak in the boundless cultural happenings. Pay a visit to the Bahia Palace for a taste of the Islamic heritage. But for its true landmark, visit the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. This is where the diverse character of Morocco is most vigorous, with Portuguese, Islamic, Spanish, and French influences painting the cityscape. In Fez, the eye-catching leather tanneries alone deliver the picture of a city run by artisanship.
There are also a handful of ravishing towns in the shadow of the Moroccan giants. Chefchaouen is the prettiest by far with its blue-washed streets. And for the exotic Atlantic coast, head to Essaouira, where old traditions blend with fresh-faced activities. These towns are among the best places to visit in Morocco.
