The Best place to visit in Morocco

Climate and seasons in morocco, food & drinks.

Morocco is a country that is unique in the Muslim world. Its richly diverse culture has been shaped by 3,000 years of history, by ethnic groups whose roots go far back in time, and by its geographical location, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west and sub-Saharan Africa to the south. Morocco is an enticing blend of quiet traditional life and attractive tourist, a place where atmospheric souks and sublime scenery converge to create enthralling travel experiences.

Bordered by the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, joined to the African continent by the Sahara, and diagonally bisected by the long mountain chain of the High and Middle Atlas, Morocco does not have a uniform climate. It is cold by moist northwesterly winds and seared by hot, dry south easterlies such as the chergui. In summer, conditions are those of a hot arid zone. In winter, which is very mild except in the mountains, conditions switch to those of a temperate coastal zone.

Renowned for its delectable and various dishes, Morocco was classified second in the 2017 ranking of the best gourmand’s global destinations, according to the British blog Worldsim Travel. The kingdom offers its visitors an exceptional culinary experience. Marrakech, Fez, Agadir, and Rabat are among the most tempting culinary destinations. More than 15 Moroccan restaurants are amongst the 1000 best restaurants worldwide.

The Best time to visit Morocco

The best things to do in morocco, how many days should you spend in morocco.

Morocco stretches from the Mediterranean coast to the dunes of the Sahara, with lots of varied geography in between. As a result, climate and weather vary greatly depending on where you spend your time. September through May works well for most travelers, and those prioritizing a trip to the desert should stick to winter and spring. If you are traveling in the summer months and want to beat the heat, Tangier in the north and Essaouira on the Atlantic Seaboard are great options.

Morocco has activities for travelers of all ages and interests. With such a diverse landscape — from plains to mountains to coast and desert — Morocco is a great place for both adventure and relaxation. Check out our list of favorite things to do below. Exploring Souks and Medinas, Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, Visit a Hammam, Camel Trekking in the Sahara Desert, Quad Bikes & ATVs…

One week is a solid amount of time to explore Morocco’s desert and Imperial cities at a moderate pace. In two weeks you can add hiking in the Atlas Mountains and relaxation on the Atlantic coast. With less than 5 days, it’s best to focus your time: see Casablanca, Chefchaouen, and Fes in the north, or stick to Marrakech and the Sahara in the south.

TESTIMONIALS

Our experience with Gate Travel Morocco was amazing, the people were incredibly respectful and welcoming, and they went beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The city itself has some beautiful attractions, but the desert experience was truly unique. We spent the day traveling through villages, cascades, and mountains, and rode camels through the desert. At night, we enjoyed a private dinner in a luxury desert camp with fire and singers. The camp had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Overall, we highly recommend Gate Travel Morocco for an unforgettable experience.

We had an amazing time touring Marrakesh with Mustafa, our tour guide, and Mohammed our driver. they took us to the garden, the YSL Museum, the palace, the Souks, the square, the mosque, and so much more. Mustafa was an amazing man who explained very detail of the city to us, and Mohammed was an excellent driver who made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. they answered all our questions and made sure we had one the best days of our visit to Marrakesh. we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. top marks for Mustafa and Mohammed.

A family of four, including two teenagers, set out with Gate Travel Morocco on a personalized twelve-day tour of Morocco. The experience was truly amazing. The company carefully customized and expertly executed an itinerary that included preferences. The tour includes luxurious accommodations, a wonderful special guide named Mohammed, and interesting local guides at various locations. From exploring the cities of Fez, Marrakech, and Chefchouen to a nomadic village in the desert to hiking in the Dedes Gorge, every moment was full of excitement for Gate Travel Morocco to customize the destinations worked well, and made the trip enjoyable for the family. Meeting Mohammed was a highlight as he is kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver.

Overall it was pretty good. There were some disappointments and most of the extra trips were not worth taking at their price. One thing I find dishonest is the reviews on their website, There are no negative comments and there was plenty of room for improvement on the trip we just took in Feb 2013.

This post was determined to be inappropriate by the Tripadvisor community and has been removed.

Every time someone posts about Gate 1 tours, and this has happened on both threads initiated by the same OP, people with no previous reviews crawl out of the woodwork and stumble on the thread "by coincidence" and say how absolutely fantastic and great it all was. However, an internet search shows that there are many people who think they're rubbish. And it seems they don't allow negative reviews on their own site.

My advice? To be avoided perhaps.

Your Itinerary

Arrive in casablanca.

Touch down in Casablanca, the coastal city where your Moroccan journey begins. You’ll be picked up and taken to your hotel, just a 10-minute walk from the Old Medina. Gather in the lobby for a welcome meeting at 6pm with your Local Insider, who will accompany the group throughout the trip. It’s then time to head into the city centre for dinner in an authentic riad (a traditional Moroccan house centered around an inner courtyard) – a perfect opportunity to break the ice and discuss the days ahead with your fellow travellers.

Accommodation

Gray boutique hotel casablanca, activities included.

  • Welcome dinner
  • Airport transfer

Stroll through the photogenic streets of Chefchaouen

After breakfast, head straight to the Hassan II Mosque, the second-largest functioning mosque in Africa, which is dramatically situated on a rocky outcrop jutting into the Atlantic Ocean. Its 210m (690ft) high minaret, completed in 1993, is the second-tallest in the world. After exploring the complex, leave Casablanca behind and head north to the enchanting city of Chefchaouen, which lies beneath the craggy peaks of the Rif mountains. Take a walking tour through the atmospheric cobblestone alleyways and admire the beautifully preserved 15th-century buildings painted in shades of blue.

Dar Echchaouen Maison d'Hôtes & Riad

  • Hassan II Mosque visit

Explore the Roman ruins of Volubilis and eat with a local family

This morning, your journey continues south to the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, built around 300BCE on a fertile plain surrounded by wheat fields. Formerly the capital of the Berber kingdom of Mauretania, it gained Unesco World Heritage status in 1997 and is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Morocco today, replete with marble columns, intricate mosaics and plinths bearing Latin inscriptions. After you’ve finished exploring, head to Fez, considered by many to be the cultural and spiritual capital of Morocco. Here, you’ll join a local family for a home-cooked dinner in the old medina district and enjoy a unique storytelling experience.

Palais Houyam

  • Volubilis guided tour
  • Home-cooked meal and storytelling with a local family

Soak up the atmosphere of Fez Medina

Embrace the eclectic mix of colours, sounds and aromas as you wander through Fez Medina – the sprawling, walled centre of the city. Its labyrinthine streets are lined with souks selling everything from street food and spices to handwoven textiles and homewares, while architectural highlights include the Bou Inania Madrasa with a green-tiled minaret, the ornate Bab Bou Jeloud gate and the Nejjarine Fondouk, which houses a woodwork museum. End the tour by tucking into lunch at a traditional restaurant in the Medina, before spending the rest of the day at leisure.

  • Fez Medina walking tour
  • Nejjarine Fondouk visit
  • Bou Inania Madrasa visit

Venture deep into the Sahara

Rise and shine – it’s time to leave the city bustle as you head into the pristine wilderness of the Sahara. After breakfast, you’ll journey to the far south of Morocco, eventually arriving in the tiny desert village of Merzouga, close to the Algerian border. It’s the gateway to the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes, which reach 150m (490ft) high and cover a barren, golden expanse of 28km (17mi) from north to south. You’ll stay overnight in a luxury riad – an idyllic spot to unwind, tune into nature and take in sublime sunset views.

  • Merzouga desert visit

Visit a Gnawa village and dine Berber style under the stars

Travel by 4x4 to a remote village where you’ll learn about the culture of the Gnawa people who originated from sub-Saharan Africa, and are renowned for their spiritual music and unique dancing. For lunch, tuck into medfouna, a southern Moroccan speciality that’s similar to a stuffed pizza but without cheese. Brace yourself for a bumpy ride as you continue across the dunes to the desert camp you’ll call home for the night. Expect lots of mint tea, songs around a campfire and hearty Berber food. Come nightfall, enjoy a wine-tasting session and gaze in awe at the starry sky through a telescope, guided by an expert astronomer.

Desert Camp Jaimas Madu

  • Gnawa village visit
  • Wine tasting
  • Astronomy experience

Go camel riding at sunrise and explore the Todra Gorge

No visit to the Sahara is complete without experiencing the most traditional mode of desert transport: camel riding. Saddle up first thing in the morning, taking in the gorgeous sunrise before swapping the desert for the High Atlas mountains as you head north to the Todra Gorge. Prepare to be dazzled – this otherworldly, rust-coloured expanse of steep-sided canyons ranks among the most spectacular scenery in Morocco. You’ll arrive at your cosy, mountainside accommodation in time to sip cocktails while watching the sunset paint the sky with a pinky-tangerine glow.

Riad Bahammou

  • Sunrise camel ride
  • Todra Gorge visit
  • Sunset cocktails

Hike through the Dades Gorges and join a local family for lunch

Over many centuries, the Dades River, which flows for 350km (220mi) from the High Atlas mountains to the Sahara, has carved dramatic gorges and canyons into the rugged interior of the country. Today, you’ll set off on a guided hike through this epic landscape and gain a fascinating glimpse into life in this part of rural Morocco. Eventually, after traversing farmland and riverine forest, you’ll arrive at a series of striking rock formations, aptly named the Monkey Fingers due to their peculiar shape. A well-earned lunch at a local guesthouse awaits.

  • Dades Gorges hike

Explore kasbah Ait-Ben-Haddou and enjoy a street food tour of Marrakech

Of all the kasbahs dotted around Morocco, Ait-Ben-Haddou is arguably the most impressive. Feel like you’ve stepped back in time as you explore this Unesco World Heritage site, which you may well recognise from Game of Thrones (2011-2019) and Gladiator (2000). Stop by a tea house for a thirst-quenching mint tea and home-baked Moroccan pastry before hitting the road to Marrakech. Expect a sensory feast as you join an evening street food tour and if you're brave enough, try some local delicacies! Dishes you can try include tagine and couscous, doughy pastries, sheep’s head and snail soup.

Unlock the secrets of Moroccan cuisine in a cooking class

Now familiar with Moroccan food, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to make it for yourself. After discovering the core techniques and flavour combinations used in Moroccan cuisine, enjoy the fruits of your labour for lunch. Spend the afternoon exploring the city at leisure or treat yourself to a soothing massage at the hotel spa. Reconvene for a farewell group dinner at L’mida restaurant and embrace an innovative, modern twist on classic Moroccan dishes. The candlelit roof terrace, overlooking the medina, is the perfect spot to conclude your epic Morocco trip.

  • Cooking class
  • Farewell dinner

Depart from Marrakech

After one last breakfast, it’s time to bid farewell to your new friends as your Moroccan adventure comes to an end. Check out of the hotel at midday and make your way to the airport to catch your flight home – or extend your stay and explore what else Morocco has to offer.

This stylish gem of a hotel is perfectly positioned for city centre exploration. You're just 10 minutes from the old Medina, and about the same from the Corniche with its parks, shops and sparkling Atlantic views. Inside, decor feels high-end and design-led, with a warm organic colour palette and elegant furnishings. 

Experience life in an opulent Moroccan riad overlooking the resplendent blue houses of Chefchaouen. Wood-beamed ceilings, candlelit terraces and communal lounges with roaring fires create a warm, soothing ambience at this atmospheric retreat. The outdoor pool, with mountain views, is the perfect place to relax and cool off.

This traditional riad is an oasis of tranquility, tucked away from the bustling streets of Fez Medina. Zellige-tile floors, traditional four-poster beds, and handcrafted furnishings made by local artisans create an authentic vibe in every room. Take a trip to the spa and hammam (bath house) to unwind and recharge.

Image #1 of Desert Camp Jaimas Madu

Sip mint tea around a roaring fire, enjoy hearty Berber cooking and dine under the stars at this isolated desert retreat. You’re bound to sleep well in the cosy haima tents, all of which come with private bathrooms and ensuite showers. When you wake, emerge from your tent to freshly squeezed orange juice and Moroccan crepes.

Terracotta walls blend in with the ochre landscape at the traditional Riad Bahammou, in the Dades Gorge valley of the High Atlas. Tuck into Moroccan fare at the restaurant before finishing your day with a nightcap in the onsite bar. The pool is the perfect place to cool off after a day of exploring and the rooms are traditionally decorated and comfortable enough for all to enjoy. This is a magical place and we're sure you'll enjoy your stay.
