The Sahara desert
To travel to Morocco is to travel to a multifaceted country between the sea, the Atlas mountains and The Sahara dunes.
From palaces to old Medinas, from kasbahs to adobe villages, Morocco is a timeless jewel of the African continent and a land of profound historical and cultural importance that constitutes an enchantingly exotic, welcoming, warm and attractive country.
Land of endless diversity and constant surprises, Morocco receives thousands of visitors around the world.
Here’s why you should travel to Morocco too:
Visiting Marrakech is a must if you haven't already! The city where all the flights of the world lead.
Marrakech is certainly the most known destination in Morocco, but there are also flights to Casablanca, Essaouira, Rabat, Tangier, and Fez. Many of these cities are also very accessible to other destinations across the globe.
This makes Morocco a great destination for long trips as well as for short trips.
You can climb the Atlas Mountains on a Friday, spend a night under the stars of the Sahara desert on a Saturday and shop in the souks on Sunday.
Essoauira
If you think of Morocco, you might imagine large desertic empty land, or dry, dusty towns. While this is valid for some places in Morocco, the country as a whole is phenomenally diverse.
If you explore the country on a road trip, the long distances and long drives will be highlighted by the impressive Atlas mountains home to intact Berber culture, fortified Berber villages and landscapes of a thousand colors, sandy beaches at Essaouira and Oualidia where you get to taste delicious fresh oysters, endless sand dunes near Merzouga and Erg Chigaga, green palm oasis in skoura, adobe villages and kasbahs and imperial cities such as Fez, each more fascinating than the other. Morocco is a land which will constantly amaze you.

From hiking the snow-capped mountains of the High Atlas to exploring the dunes of the Sahara on the back of a camel, and tasting wine by the wild Atlantic coast, Morocco will surprise you with its countless list of things to do and places to see.
Indeed, people of all ages will find much to love about this fascinating country.
I recommend visiting the beautiful white Cathedral of Casablanca and the surprising Hassan II mosque, the largest mosque in Africa, Fez, the spiritual and cultural capital of the kingdom, Meknes and its royal palace, The Roman ruins of Volubilis, listed as UNESCO heritage, Marrakech and the atmosphere of the court of miracles in its square Jemaa El-Fnaa...
So many cultural and historical marvels revealed to you on a trip to Morocco, at the gates of Africa.
Not to mention an enchanting nature conducive to hiking: the spectacular Todra gorges, the vast Todga palm grove, the splendid beaches of Tamouda bay, the crystalline lagoon of Oualidia or the golden sand dunes of the Sahara that you can explore back of camels before falling asleep under a sky carpeted with stars in the heart of the desert...
Along the alleys of the African and Andalusian, Berber and Arab medinas, from palaces to medersas, an adventure worthy of a thousand and one nights awaits you in Morocco.

Moroccan culture is a perfect blend of African, Moorish, Jewch and European influences making Moroccan cuisine one of the best around the world and a perfect representative of Morocco’s countless cultures and people who have called it home through time.
Morocco produces a large amount of fruit, vegetables and spices, making its cuisine wonderful for vegetarians, indeed, healthy and flavorful salads are a staple of the Moroccan diet.
Tagines and couscous are two other tasty dishes and the most famous among all, but there is much more to discover.
I recommend that you take at least one Moroccan cooking class during your Morocco tour, To truly make the most of your experience. A great deal of Moroccan culture is present in its cuisine, so being able to cook Moroccan food at home can be a wonderful way to take a piece of the country back home with you.

Morocco has different climates (Mediterranean, oceanic or continental type) with generally mild winters and hot summers. Inland, the climate will be drier and in the mountains, the climate will be more of a continental type. In Marrakech, temperatures vary between 19°C in winter in January to reach 37°C during the summer months.
Thanks to a high luminosity and temperatures that can reach 19°C in winter in Marrakech and 25°C on the Atlantic coast, Morocco is a destination that can be discovered all year round.
Although if you asked me the best time to visit Morocco, I would have to say Spring and autumn, when it’s generally warm and dry, the snow is off the peaks making the Atlas Mountains easier to navigate, and the Sahara isn’t too unbearably hot.
Taghazout
Morocco is a place of wonderful diversity, for centuries, people from all over the world have migrated to Morocco. When you walk down a street in Morocco, you’ll see Amazigh, Europeans, Arabs, and Sub-Saharan people all living harmoniously. A diversity making Morocco one of the most welcoming countries in the world.
Travel to Morocco and meet with the warm Moroccan people who will invite you with pleasure to share a moment of exchange around a cup of Moroccan mint tea.

As long as you are up to date with your standard vaccination schedule at home, you’re good to go.
However, make sure you have adequate health insurance before you travel to Morocco as private hospitals in Morocco tend to be expensive.
Most visitors to Morocco (including Americans, British, Australians..) do not need a visa to enter Morocco. You’ll be allowed to stay in the country for 90 days and you’ll also get a very cool stamp in your passports.
It’s never been a more exciting time to take the plunge and explore Morocco’s beautiful expanses. Plan your Morocco tour and create special memories of wanderlust moments.
