ESSENTIAL MOROCCO BUCKET LIST ITEMS BY US
EXPLORE THE BUSTLING CITY OF MARRAKESH
The Red City is fast and thrilling and our Marrakesh trips dive straight in on a sightseeing tour with your Local Specialist. You’ll visit the beautiful Bahia Palace and feel the energy of twirling Gwana dancers and palm-readers in Djemaa el-Fna Square. Our tip? Marrakesh gets even better by night so head out under the twinkling medina lights for delicious eats and local music.
TAKE A WALK THROUGH FEZ
Get to know Morocco's oldest imperial city on our guided walking tour, where you'll see the royal palace and explore the hidden alleyways of the ancient Fez Medina, one of the world’s largest medieval centres. You won’t out-haggle the expert market vendors but you’re sure to find all kinds of treasures like spices, teas, leather crafts and carpets with a story woven through every knot.
VIEW THE REMARKABLE HASSAN II MOSQUE IN CASABLANCA
You can't miss seeing the iconic Hassan II Mosque on your Casablanca trip. It's the second-largest mosque in the world and features the world's tallest minaret, a 210-metre tower that can be seen from all over the city. We'll marvel at Morocco's finest craftmanship, with intricate marble floors, hand-carved stone and wood, and beautiful zellige (mosaic tilework).

EXPLORE THE CITY OF RABAT
There is so much to explore here, starting with the medieval city in the heart of Rabat and the beautiful Hassan II Mosque, the world’s second-largest mosque. My tip? Head to the kasbah, where you can take a walk through the original door of the city, wander the whitewashed streets and see the stunning ocean views.

SEE THE KOUTOUBIA MINARET
The Koutoubia minaret is the golden hour and is an unforgettable sight that is competing with the palm trees that Marrakesh is equally famous for. Morocco is definitely not all about mosques or minarets but you can't resist checking out these elegant buildings and the towering landmarks of the cities.
WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN MOROCCO
What to eat in Morocco? Let us count the ways…. Moroccan food is known for its mouthwatering flavours from honey-coated pastries to saffron-spiced stews.
TAJINE
This lip-smacking slow-cooked stew is an icon of Morocco and gets its name from the funnel-shaped clay dish it's cooked in. Tagine is usually made with beef, lamb or chicken and is traditionally eaten straight from the cooking dish.
COUSCOUS
Known as seksu in Morocco, couscous is a classic staple of the country. These little steamed balls of crushed semolina are best served over a stew of meat and vegetables, with the couscous piled high. Topped with a sweet raisin preserve, or buttermilk if you’re eating Berber-style, couscous is one dish you can’t miss in Morocco.
CHEBAKIA
The chebakia is a delicious sesame biscuit made from strips of dough that are shaped into flowers then deep-fried until golden and smothered in a honey syrup. They’re usually made for Ramadan but they’re notoriously difficult to make, so many families get together to cook up a huge batch to share. Lets hope you can pinch a chebakia or two!
WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT MOROCCO
Morocco experiences all kinds of climates, so time your trip right between April and November for the best weather.
BEST TIME TO WITNESS RAMADAN IN MOROCCO
Travel during Ramadan from April to May and you’ll have the chance to witness an important religious event and watch the evenings come alive as people come out to feast with their families.
BEST TIME TO EXPLORE THE DESERT IN MOROCCO
Morocco’s desert is scorching hot from June to September, while desert dust storms are most common between February and April, so the best time to visit the desert is May, October and November.
BEST TIME TO VISIT MOROCCO’S CITIES
We love exploring Morocco’s famous cities like Fez, Marrakesh, Casablanca and Rabat during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is at its best.
