Best Things To Do in Morocco
Introduction
Morocco is a place like no other—from sweeping desert expanses to rugged mountain peaks, breathtaking beaches to urban intrigue. A magical and exotic kingdom, Morocco will enchant every one of your senses and leave you wishing you had more time to explore. Come, let Morocco satisfy your curiosity. Whether you’re taking photos of the desert dunes or the magnificent mosaics, Morocco is a feast for the eyes.
The Sahara
While Morocco has a variety of idyllic landscapes, many people dream of seeing the light-brown desert dunes that stretch for miles on end. Taking a sunset camel ride through the Sahara Desert was the biggest highlight of the Moroccan tours. The unmolested expanse of beauty is dotted only with camels and stars under the moon as you enjoy an enchanting twilight camel ride with options of overnight in Bedouin tent camps under the sky or retreat to an air-conditioned riad or guest house/hotel. Amp it up and play in the Saharan desert on an ATV, or chill out meandering through dense date palm oases. Best enjoyed as a 5-day trip from Marrakech or as part of your Morocco multiday trip.
The Souks
The souks in Morocco are a combination of a marketplace and a meeting place that together form the heartbeat of cities like Marrakech and Fes. These Arab markets are known for their winding alleyways and boisterous vendors who sell everything from rugs and lamps to spices and leather goods. Even for the adventurous traveler, the souks can quickly become overwhelming, filled with hundreds of pathways and people.
City Culture
Morocco is a kingdom governed by Parliament. Steep yourself in history and heritage in any of Morocco’s major cities. The capital city of Rabat is where most governmental affairs are administrated. Casablanca, considered the economic epicenter, is the country’s most populace city and home to the prosperous and paupers alike. Imperial city, Fes, functioned as the capital several times throughout various dynastic rule and boasts the oldest known university in the world. Attracting scholars and artisans alike, this dynamic city is a must during your visit to Morocco.
Located at the feet of the majestic Atlas Mountains, Marrakech to the south is known to be Morocco’s most diverse and dazzling city. Fragrant spice bazaars and ornate palaces collide, making this city a cultural mecca for all senses. One of the prettiest places to visit among the lush agriculture and Rif mountains to the north is the blue town of Chefchaouen. It offers a more laid-back alternative to any of its more famous counterparts. Port town and gateway to Europe, Tangier, is a destination with its own culture.
The Photography Heaven
There’s no shortage of scenery to capture on your camera in Morocco. One of the country’s most giant calling cards is the colorful tiled surfaces throughout cities like Marrakech and Fes. The intricately laid designs adorn courtyards, walls, and mosques. Head to Majorelle Garden to take in the beauty of the mosaic artwork in an environment that’s more serene than the lively city streets. If rural landscapes call your name, there is plenty to see as you travel.

Trekking, climbing, skiing, sledding, swimming, mountain biking, and communing with nature and local villagers are all possible in these stunning mountains.
