Where to go in Morocco.

Use this guide to choose the right bases, route order and day-trip combinations for a private Morocco journey.

Marrakech

Red city energy, gardens, palaces, souks, rooftops and easy access to the Atlas and Agafay.

Best base for first-time visitors, short breaks and southern routes.

Morocco's great craft city, with layered medina streets, tanneries, madrasas and food traditions.

Best for culture, history, artisans and northern extensions.

Erg Chebbi dunes, desert camps, stargazing, 4x4 tracks and oasis routes.

Best for multi-day private journeys rather than a rushed day trip.

Blue-painted lanes in the Rif Mountains with slow photography, small squares and relaxed cafes.

Best as an overnight, but possible as a long day from Fes or Tangier.

Atlantic ramparts, fishing boats, seafood, galleries, beach walks and a calmer medina.

Best for slower trips, families and coastal extensions.

Mountain villages, valley roads, Toubkal views, guesthouses and light trekking.

Best for fresh air, easy hikes and cultural village experiences.

Big-city arrival points, Hassan II Mosque, capital landmarks and Atlantic roads.

Best for arrivals, departures and polished short city stays.

Palm groves, restored kasbahs, canyon landscapes and the road toward the Sahara.

Best for scenic overnight stops between Marrakech and the desert.
