VIEW THE REMARKABLE HASSAN II MOSQUE IN CASABLANCA

You can't miss seeing the iconic Hassan II Mosque on your Casablanca trip.

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.

Packing tips for Morocco

Modest clothing
Morocco is a conservative country and you’ll need to wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders, knees and stomach. It’s best to wear long, loose clothing to beat the heat.

Scarf
A scarf is one of the most useful things to have when you visit Morocco. It keeps the sun and sand off your face, while women can use it to cover their head at religious sites.

Slip-on sandals
It’s custom to take off your shoes when entering homes, hammams and traditional restaurants in Morocco, so bring a pair of comfortable slip-on sandals.

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN MOROCCO

Respect the religious rules

Islam is the state religion of Morocco and it's important to respect the rules that forbid non-Muslims from entering sacred areas like mosques and shrines.

Ask before snapping

You could fill up dozens of SD cards with photos when traveling through Morocco’s spectacular landscapes, but it’s important to always ask permission before taking photos of people.

Embrace the art of haggling

Haggling is a big part of Moroccan culture and while there are no set rules, you should only begin haggling if you genuinely want to buy something. Always offer a fair price, and don’t feel obliged to buy if you can’t agree on a price.
