- Fes – The Cultural and Spiritual Heart: Known as Morocco’s cultural capital, Fes is home to the world’s oldest university and the fascinating Medina of Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Chefchaouen – The Blue Pearl of Morocco: Tucked in the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is a charming town famous for its blue-washed streets and buildings. Wandering through its serene alleyways feels like stepping into a dream, with every corner offering a photo opportunity.
- The Sahara Desert – A Timeless Adventure: No trip to Morocco is complete without experiencing the vast beauty of the Sahara Desert.

Spend the night in a traditional Berber camp under a blanket of stars, surrounded by the silence of the desert. Wake early to watch the sun rise over the dunes.
Top Tips
- Dress Modestly: Morocco is a conservative country, so opt for loose-fitting clothes that cover your shoulders and knees. You’ll feel more comfortable and show respect for the local culture.
- Bargain in the Souks: Haggling is expected in Moroccan markets. Start at half the offered price, keep it light-hearted, and enjoy the experience – it’s all part of the fun!
- Try Moroccan Cuisine: Don’t miss iconic dishes like tagine (slow-cooked stew), couscous, and street food like b’ssara (fava bean soup). Wash it all down with refreshing mint tea.
- Stay Alert in Busy Areas: Cities like Marrakech and Fes are bustling, and tourists can attract unwanted attention. Keep an eye on your belongings and politely decline persistent sellers.
- Learn a Few Words of Arabic: Simple phrases like “Salaam Alaikum” (hello) and “Shukran” (thank you) will go a long way in connecting with locals.
