1. Marrakech
The Red City is Morocco’s beating heart: the Jemaa el-Fna square, the souks, Majorelle Garden and the Bahia Palace. A perfect start or finish to any trip.
2. Fes
Home to the world’s largest car-free medina and the famous tanneries, Fes is Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital — a living medieval city.
3. The Sahara at Merzouga
The Erg Chebbi dunes, camel treks and desert camps under the stars. For many travellers this is the highlight of Morocco.
4. Chefchaouen
The blue-washed mountain town in the Rif — one of the most photogenic places in the country.
5. Aït Ben Haddou
A UNESCO-listed fortified village and film set (Gladiator, Game of Thrones) on the old caravan route to the desert.
6. The Todra Gorge
Dramatic red cliffs rising 300 metres, perfect for a walk between the desert and the mountains.
7. Essaouira
A breezy Atlantic port with ramparts, seafood and a laid-back arty vibe.
8–10. Casablanca, Rabat & the Atlas valleys
Round out your trip with the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, the capital Rabat, and the palm-filled Draa and Dades valleys. Most of these connect naturally on a grand tour.
