Top 5 things to do in Morocco

Looking for romance under the stars, fun in the sun or an epic history fix? Holidays to Morocco deliver something for everyone.

Spend the night in a Bedouin camp to sleep under the starry skies of the Sahara Desert. The iconic Erg Chebbi dunes host your adventure, which can also include a camel trek or 4x4 safari. Don’t miss the dazzling sunrise and sunset across the sea of sand.
Jemaa el-Fnaa is the colourful hub of the famous Marrakech medina. The market square buzzes with hawker stalls, circus acts and snake charmers. By night, smoke rises from restaurant grills ready to serve up scrumptious street food.
Beach-hop along rugged coastlines with plenty of water sports action along the way. Surf at Essaouira and Taghazout. For seaside resorts, take your flip-flops to Agadir, Tangier and Tetouan.
Get your Instagram shot of the colourful dyeing vats at Chouara. The famous site in Fes is thought to be the oldest leather tannery in the world.
Toubkal National Park is home to Jebel Toubkal, the highest point of the High Atlas mountain range. Hike on a backdrop of crystal-clear streams, rolling hills and dramatic gorges.

Discover Morocco’s imperial cities

The imperial cities are Morocco’s four historic capitals and they offer a dazzling array of attractions.

Established as the capital in the ninth century, Fes is the oldest of the cities. Its ancient walls extend for around 10 miles and much of the population still lives in the atmospheric medina. Hire a guide to explore the maze of narrow lanes.
Morocco’s current capital blends modern, palm-lined boulevards with historic landmarks. Visit Rabat’s central beach, the walled medina and the Kasbah of the Udayas.
A city break in Meknes is a treat for history buffs, with mosques, palaces, dungeons and Moorish architecture to enjoy. Pose for a photo with the medina gates and visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail.
Founded in 1062, Marrakech is the poster child for Morocco tourism. History rests alongside lavish Marrakech hotels, vibrant souks and an exotic dining scene.
If you’d like to visit all four imperial cities in one holiday, Morocco’s train network is comfortable, efficient and budget-friendly.

From wonderful wilderness hikes to desert camping and history trails, family holidays to Morocco create memories to last a lifetime.

Atlas Film Studios occupies the world’s largest film set, in terms of land mass. Take a guided tour to walk in the footsteps of movie stars on a magnificent desert backdrop.
An easy day trip from Marrakech, Ouzoud Falls are among the highest in North Africa. Explore hiking trails through olive tree groves and admire the three-tiered cascades that drop 110 metres into Oued El Abid canyon.
Book a tour to visit Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains. You’ll experience warm, Moroccan hospitality as you meet the locals, enjoy a meal in a family home and discover time-honoured traditions.
The sandy shores and blue waters of Agadir are perfect for family beach holidays. Take a camel ride along the beach, visit the Agadir Crocodile Park and have a spin on the beachfront Ferris wheel.
When it’s time to cool down, hit the slides at Oasiria in Marrakech. Spin down the Cobra slide, splash in the wave pool and float down the Quiet Rio lazy river.

Morocco couples holidays

With backdrops straight from Arabian fairy tales, atmospheric restaurants and natural wonders, Morocco brings the romance on couples holidays.

Stay in traditional riads among lush courtyards, decorative tile work and opulent decor. The guesthouses are often run by locals and provide delicious, home-cooked meals on rooftop terraces.
A beautiful oasis in Marrakech, Majorelle Garden was designed by French artist, Jacques Majorelle, and restored by Yves Saint Laurent. The tropical setting features marble pools, cobalt blue buildings and exotic foliage.
Founded in the 15th century, the town of Chefchaouen is a charming jumble of blue-washed buildings and quaint cobbled streets. It’s also the gateway to wilderness hikes in the Rif Mountains.
Experience the bathing rituals of luxurious, private hammans. You’ll relax with black soap scrubs, argan oil massages and steam rooms.
For a peaceful seaside escape, pack your flip-flops for the picturesque village of Oualidia. It’s bordered by the Atlantic and a saltwater lagoon, and famous for its oyster farms.

Time to explore

History and culture in Morocco

Culture vultures and history hunters can expect an action-packed travel itinerary on holidays to Morocco.

You might recognise the kasbah, Ait Ben Haddou, as a backdrop from Game of Thrones or Gladiator. Reddish, mud-clay buildings rest inside high defensive walls on the banks of the Ounila River. Walk to the top for spectacular desert views.
The UNESCO-listed Roman city of Volubilis is one of the country’s best-preserved archaeological sites. Founded in the third century BC, it features stunning mosaics, baths, temples and gates.
Wood carvings, tile mosaics and domed ceilings decorate the Saadian Tombs in Marrakech. Originally, the mausoleums were built as the burial ground for the sixth Sultan of the Saadi Dynasty.
Discover Berber heritage at the Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh in Agadir. You’ll see Berber artefacts including jewellery, daggers and photo galleries.
Impressive mosques are at the centre of local communities in Morocco. Don’t miss Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech and Kairaouine Mosque in Fes.

Shopping in Morocco

Are you a shopaholic? Leave plenty of room in your suitcase and get set to explore souks worthy of Aladdin’s Cave.

The Marrakech medina is heaven on earth for shoppers. Weave in and out of alleys to browse thousands of stalls piled with spices, antiques, woodwork, lanterns and jewellery. Don’t forget your haggling skills.
Carpet emporiums are a highlight in Fes and you’ll drink mint tea while picking your favourites. Visit Souk el Henna for magic potions mixed by herbalists. Souk El-Attarine offers a fragrant, colour explosion of spices.
Choose from rows of handmade Moroccan slippers at Souk es Sebbat in Meknes. Stroll the narrow streets around El Hedim Square for pottery, lamps and quirky trinkets.
Tiznit is the centre for Berber jewellery, with over 100 shops selling silver accessories at Souk des Bijoutiers.
Essaouira’s medina offers all the typical Moroccan souvenirs, along with a few specialities. Look for local art at galleries, surfwear and organic argan oil.

Food & Drink

Food and drink in Morocco

From decadent fine dining restaurants to mouthwatering tagines in Berber villages, foodies are in for a treat on Morocco holidays.

In Marrakech, snack on grilled skewers of meat and colourful salads at stalls in Jemaa el-Fnaa. Then, move on to some of the city’s top restaurants. Dine on the rooftop at Nomad and head to Al Fassia for authentic Moroccan cuisine.
Café Clock is an iconic restaurant in the heart of the Fes medina. Relax in leafy courtyards as you enjoy the café's legendary camel burger with a banana lassi.
Expats join the locals in creating a diverse dining scene in the seaside town of Essaouira. However, it’s best known for succulent seafood. Settle into a colourful chair with ocean views at Beach and Friends.
Inspired by the classic movie, Casablanca, Rick’s Cafe recreates the vibe with brass chandeliers, beaded table lamps and live jazz. It’s one of many fantastic restaurants in multicultural Casablanca.
Once you’ve tried Moroccan food, you’ll want to make your own at home. Luckily, many cooking schools, restaurants and riads provide lessons. Check out the non-profit Amal Centre in Marrakech.

Traditional dishes to try in Morocco

Morocco’s aromatic, spicy food is a delicious mix of Berber, Arab, Moorish and Mediterranean influences.

A tagine is a clay cooking pot with a cone-shaped lid that lends its name to Morocco’s most famous dish. You’ll find the saucy, vegetable and meat-based dishes everywhere from roadside cafes to fine dining restaurants.
Moroccan street food is great for your budget on cheap holidays and it’s always tasty. Snack on calamari, grilled sardines, kebabs and even snails. Maakouda are deep-fried potato balls with spicy sauce.
Originally prepared with pigeons, chicken bastilla is the country’s version of a savoury pie. These days, they’re made with herb-filled omelettes, saffron chicken, crispy pastry and cinnamon.
Unique treats await your sweet tooth. Try Chebakia, a fried, rose-shaped pastry soaked in honey and rosewater. Morocco’s oranges are among the world’s best and they’re served sliced with orange water and cinnamon.
Moroccan hospitality begins and ends with mint tea. Beer, wine and spirits are available in most hotels and restaurants in tourist areas.
