The best places to visit in Morocco

If you’ve ever dreamed of losing yourself in winding souks, riding camels over golden dunes, or sipping mint tea on a sunlit terrace overlooking the sea, Morocco is calling your name.

At Morocco Tourism Agency, we help travelers like you explore the magic of our homeland in a way that’s immersive, safe, and deeply unforgettable. Whether you’re a history lover, beach bum, foodie, or mountain hiker, there’s a piece of Morocco waiting just for you.

Let us take you on a virtual journey to the most beautiful places to visit in Morocco—destinations we love, and you’ll never forget.


1. Marrakesh – Best for Romance, Riads & Rich Culture

If Morocco has a heartbeat, it’s Marrakesh. This iconic city wraps you in a sensory embrace—from the aroma of spices in the souks to the vibrant colors of the Jardin Majorelle.

Why visit with us: We recommend staying in a traditional riad, like Dar Attajmil, where you’ll experience Moroccan hospitality at its finest. Let us book a hammam session or a sunset dinner on a rooftop terrace like El Fenn—perfect for couples or solo travelers looking for that “wow” moment.

Travel tip from your Morocco Tourism Agency: Add a day trip to the Agafay Desert for a luxe glamping experience under the stars—just an hour away from Marrakesh.


2. Aït Ben Haddou – Best for Movie Buffs & Ancient Vibes

Ever watched Game of Thrones or Gladiator? Then you’ve already seen Aït Ben Haddou. This UNESCO-listed mudbrick ksar looks like it’s been pulled straight out of a movie—and often, it has.

Why visit with us: Our private guides can walk you through the history and hidden corners of this ancient village, especially stunning at sunrise or sunset.

Insider tip: Extend your trip to nearby Ouarzazate—Morocco’s version of Hollywood. We’ll organize behind-the-scenes tours at Atlas Studios.


3. Taghazout Bay – Best for Surf & Chill Vibes

If your idea of a perfect day involves yoga at sunrise and fresh grilled fish at sunset, you’ll love Taghazout. This once-sleepy fishing village is now Morocco’s surf and wellness capital.

Why visit with us: From surf schools to luxury beachfront resorts, we’ll help you tailor the ideal beach break—whether you’re a beginner on a board or just want to nap in a hammock.

Planning tip from our Morocco Tourism Agency experts: Visit in January for pro-level waves at Anchor Point, or in September for quieter beaches and warm water.


4. Anti-Atlas Mountains – Best for Hidden Hikes & Authentic Encounters

Looking to get off the beaten path? The Anti-Atlas Mountains offer some of Morocco’s most underrated adventures—granite peaks, quiet valleys, and friendly local villages await.

Why visit with us: We arrange hiking routes from the Ameln Valley to the Painted Rocks of Tafraoute, and even multi-day treks to the volcanic Jebel Siroua. All with experienced Berber guides who know these trails like the back of their hand.


5. The Sahara Desert – Best for Stargazing & Silence

There’s nothing quite like arriving at the edge of the Sahara. The world goes quiet. The stars come out. And for a moment, you’re completely untethered from modern life.

Why visit with us: At Morocco Tourism Agency, we offer authentic Sahara experiences—camel treks, 4WD tours, and boutique desert camps in places like Erg Chigaga (our personal favorite for its remoteness and towering dunes).

Don’t miss: A sunrise over the dunes followed by fresh bread baked in the sand by your local guide.


6. Essaouira – Best for Laid-Back Seaside Vibes

Part fishing port, part boho artist town, and part windsurfing paradise—Essaouira is the perfect blend of beach and culture.

Why visit with us: We love pairing beach time with a stay in a traditional medina riad. Explore galleries, shop for handcrafted goods, and indulge in fresh seafood grilled right on the pier.

Extra tip from your Morocco Tourism Agency crew: It’s a great destination for families, couples, or solo travelers who want a mix of city buzz and coastal calm.


7. Fez – Best for Timeless History

Fez is Morocco’s cultural soul. Step into its labyrinthine medina and you’ll feel like you’ve gone back centuries. Leather tanneries, ancient madrasas, and one of the world’s oldest universities make it a true living museum.

Why visit with us: We offer guided medina walks (trust us, you’ll need a guide!) and curated visits to artisans keeping centuries-old traditions alive.

Nearby bonus: Make time for a day trip to the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes.


8. Tangier – Best for a European-Moroccan Fusion

Just a short ferry ride from Spain, Tangier blends Mediterranean ease with Moroccan flair. It’s stylish, artsy, and full of surprises.

Why visit with us: We recommend starting at Café Hafa for mint tea and epic sea views, then exploring whitewashed streets, art galleries, and tapas spots.

Use Tangier as a base to visit:

  • Chefchaouen (the Blue City)

  • Asilah (Spanish vibes + murals)

  • Cape Spartel and the legendary Caves of Hercules
