Must-see destinations in Morocco | 14 Best Places to visit in Morocco

Morocco is a versatile destination and I think it’s a shame to see only one place during your stay in this lieral Muslim country in Northern Africa.

I lost count if I’ve been 7 or 8 times in Morocco, yet here I have concluded all the destinations I recommend from Morocco and why.

If you were to ask my favorite place in Morocco, it’s definitely the Moroccan part of Sahara.

And I highly recommend getting there by camel.

This cute village up in mountains is for you if you’re into photography.

The town is completely painted blue and has loads of nice riads to stay in and restaurant to dine.

This impressive mountain range offers scenic hiking trails, traditional Berber villages, and panoramic views that captivate nature lovers and adventurers alike.

I recommend booking a guided hiking tour in Atlas Mountains.

Marrakech can be quite a lot to take in with its salesy, super vivid and touristy vibes. Yet I think it’s a must-experience thing as well on your trip to Morocco.

There are also great museum and Palaces to visit, as well as super cute riads to stay at.

This cool town with a labyrinthine medina, Fez is a cultural hub steeped in history.

Visit the University of Al Quaraouiyine, the oldest university in the world, and enjoy the city’s rich artisan traditions.
