Places to go in Morocco

Morocco is full of incredible places to go, each offering its own unique flavor of the country.

• Known as the “Red City,” Marrakech is where Morocco’s energy truly captivates you. Mooch through the medina to pick up spices, lanterns or handmade rugs, then head to the main square, Jemaa el-Fnaa, at night as it becomes a lively stage of street food stalls, snake charmers and musicians.
• Head to the serene Majorelle Garden (botanical gardens), once owned by Yves Saint Laurent, or the Bahia Palace, with its stunning tilework and intricate wood carvings and be sure to visit the impressive Koutoubia Mosque.
• Agadir has a completely different vibe being the perfect spot for sunseekers to lay out or to stroll along the palm-lined promenade. There’s plenty of watersports too – think surfing, jet skiing, or even just paddleboarding in the calm waters.
• The city is more modern than Marrakech, but you can still get a sense of local life at the huge market, Souk El Had, selling everything from fresh produce to leather goods.

Things to see in Morocco

Morocco is full of sights – from natural wonders to colorful towns and historic landmarks, there’s always an incredible view.

• The Ouzoud Waterfalls are the tallest falls in Morocco, plunging over 100 meters into a lush canyon. Hike along the cliffside trails exploring the different viewpoints, take a boat ride at the base, and even spot playful monkeys swinging through the olive trees. There’s a few cafes and picnic spots making it a perfect full-day adventure for nature lovers.
• The iconic ‘Blue City’, Chefchaouen is nestled in the Rif Mountains, packed with vibrant blue buildings and streets, creating a fascinating photo op. Wander the charming streets, hike to the Spanish Mosque for the panoramic views, or enjoy traditional Moroccan dishes at the family-run restaurants.
• For the history buffs, head to UNESCO World Heritage Site Aït Benhaddou – an ancient fortified village that shows the striking Moroccan earthen clay architecture. It’s one of Morocco’s most iconic historical sights so be sure to stroll the narrow alleys and climb to the top to soak in the sweeping views.

Nightlife in Morocco

When the sun goes down in Morocco, the energy shifts from bustling souks and daytime exploring to a captivating atmosphere filled with music, food and culture. Moroccan nightlife isn’t all about the clubs – it’s about enjoying long dinners, live music and stylish rooftop bars under the stars.

• The nightlife in Marrakech is the liveliest, famous for its blend of tradition and modern glamour. Jemaa el-Fnaa square is where you’ll find the street performers, storytellers, and food stalls, and beyond the square, you’ll find chic rooftop lounges, cocktail bars and a handful of trendy clubs.
• Agadir has a more relaxed nightlife scene. You’ll find casual bars, cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy live music and shisha dotted along the beachfront – a favourite for families and those looking for a chilled evening with a seaview.
• Casablanca offers a more cosmopolitan scene, with its modern bars, upscale nightclubs, and beachfront lounges. The city has a glitzy, international vibe, great for couples or groups looking for an upscale evening with Moroccan and European influences.

Food and drink in Morocco

Moroccan cuisine is a feast for the senses, shaped by Berber roots, Arab spice traditions, Andalusian flavours and a touch of French finesse – is a dining experience that’s as colourful and diverse as the country itself.

• Some key spices used across delicious Moroccan dishes include cumin, cinnamon, saffron, turmeric, paprika and many more, resulting in colourful and aromatic delights.
• A quintessential Moroccan dish to try is Tagine. This slow-cooked stew (named after the conical clay pot it’s cooked in) is made with meat, chicken, or fish, and vegetables, olives, preserved lemon, or dried fruits. It’s a delicious, hearty meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
• The street food scene is just as hearty with everything from afternoon snacks to evening meals on offer. A staple is Khobz, a round crusty loaf of bread baked fresh every day, as well as Maakouda – crispy potato fritters seasoned with garlic and herbs, and even Sfenj – deep fried doughnuts dusted with sugar.
• Morocco is a Muslim country so alcohol isn’t widely consumed in homes but you’ll find wine, beer and spirits still available in hotels, bars and restaurants in both Marrakech and Agadir areas.
