5 Stunning Places to Visit in Morocco

Marrakech Tours

Marrakech Tours  /Morocco is a land of dramatic contrasts, where ancient medinas meet vast deserts and rugged coastlines. If you’re planning an adventure, here are five absolutely stunning places that should be on your itinerary./Marrakech Tours 

1. Marrakech – The Red City of Contrasts

No trip to Morocco is complete without experiencing the exhilarating energy of Marrakech. Step into the UNESCO-listed medina and find yourself in a labyrinth of souks selling spices, leather, and lanterns. The heart of the city is Djemaa el-Fna square, a world-famous open-air theatre that transforms from a market by day into a vibrant spectacle of food stalls, storytellers, and musicians by night. Find tranquility in the lush Majorelle Garden or marvel at the architectural wonders of the Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs. Marrakech is the perfect gateway for tours into the Atlas Mountains and beyond./Marrakech Tours 

2. The Sahara Desert – An Ocean of Sand

For the ultimate Moroccan experience, journey to the Sahara Desert. The sight of the golden, rolling dunes of Erg Chebbi or the remote, pristine sands of Erg Chigaga is truly breathtaking. A night in a desert camp under a canopy of stars is unforgettable. The journey typically involves a scenic drive over the High Atlas Mountains, making the destination as stunning as the destination itself. This is a highlight of any multi-day Morocco desert tour.

3. Fes – The Ancient Intellectual Capital

Fes is home to the world’s largest living medieval medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site that feels like a step back in time. Get lost in its maze of over 9,000 alleyways, where donkeys are the main form of transport. The highlight is the Chouara Tannery, a vista of vibrant dye pits that has operated for centuries. Fes is a deep dive into Morocco’s rich history, artisanal crafts, and spiritual heart, offering a more traditional atmosphere than Marrakech./Marrakech Tours 

4. Chefchaouen – The Blue Pearl of the North

Nestled in the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is instantly recognizable by its mesmerizing shades of blue that wash over its buildings, doors, and alleyways. This unique city offers a completely different, incredibly photogenic experience. It’s a peaceful and relaxing place to wander, shop for local woolen goods, and enjoy the stunning mountain backdrop. The blue hues are said to symbolize the sky and heaven, creating a serene and almost magical atmosphere./Marrakech Tours 

5. Ait Benhaddou – The Hollywood of Africa

This fortified village, or ksar, is a spectacular example of earthen architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ait Benhaddou’s dramatic, mud-brick buildings cling to a hillside along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. Its awe-inspiring looks have made it a famous filming location for blockbusters like GladiatorGame of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia. Walking through its ancient gates feels like stepping onto a movie set, surrounded by breathtaking desert scenery./Marrakech Tours

The Top Things To Do In The Sahara Desert: Your Guide from Ait Benhaddou to Erg Chegaga

A journey to the Sahara Desert from Morocco’s south is an epic road trip through ever-changing landscapes. Whether your gateway is the iconic Ait Benhaddou, the stunning Dades Valley, the majestic Todra Gorge, the dune-filled Merzouga, the historic Zagora, or the remote Erg Chegaga, the desert offers unparalleled adventures. Here are the top things to do once you reach the sands./Marrakech Tours 

1. Camel Trekking into the Grand Dunes

This is the quintessential Sahara experience. From Merzouga (Erg Chebbi), embark on a sunset or sunrise camel caravan across the towering orange dunes. The journey from Zagora or Erg Chegaga offers a more traditional, extended trek into the vast, silent wilderness. The slow, rhythmic pace is the perfect way to leave the modern world behind./Marrakech Tours 

2. Spend a Night in a Luxury Desert Camp

After your camel trek, the ultimate reward is a night under the stars. The camps near Merzouga range from comfortable Berber tents to luxurious camps with private bathrooms and fine dining. The camps accessible from Erg Chegaga are often more remote and exclusive, offering an unparalleled sense of solitude. From everywhere, the evening brings campfires, Berber music, and breathtaking stargazing./Marrakech Tours 

3. 4×4 Adventure Across Diverse Desert Landscapes

The desert is more than just sand dunes. From Merzouga, take a 4×4 tour to visit the nomadic village of Khamlia for Gnawa music, or explore the fossil quarries. From the remote Erg Chegaga, a 4×4 is essential to traverse the rocky hamada, dry lakes, and ancient caravan routes, showcasing the Sahara’s raw, untamed beauty.

4. Sandboarding Down the Golden Slopes

For an adrenaline rush, try sandboarding! The massive dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga provide perfect slopes for both beginners and experienced boarders. Gliding down the soft, golden sand with the vast desert as your backdrop is an unforgettable experience.

5. Visit a Nomadic Family

The Sahara is home to Berber nomads. A visit from Merzouga or Zagora can often be arranged to share a glass of mint tea and gain insight into their ancient, resilient way of life. This cultural interaction is a profound and humbling highlight.

Before You Reach the Dunes: The Journey Itself

The route to the Sahara is part of the adventure. Don’t miss:

Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, this enchanting Imperial city offers a vibrant atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the northern cities of Casablanca and Tangier.

As the first major city north of the Sahara, Marrakech is the ideal starting point for exploring Morocco’s golden dunes. That’s why we provide an extensive choice of luxury desert camp experiences and traditional Berber desert camp tours departing from Marrakech. For those who prefer something different, we also offer a variety of non-desert private tours from Marrakech, giving you the flexibility to explore Morocco your way.

Our mission is to help you experience both the iconic landmarks and hidden gems of Morocco. Marrakech is the gateway to the south, opening the door to the majestic Atlas Mountains, the sweeping Sahara Desert, and the laid-back Atlantic coast. A favorite stop for many travelers is the seaside town of Essaouira, famous for its windswept beaches, surfing, and relaxed charm—a striking contrast to the bustling souks of Marrakech.

For desert adventures, Marrakech gives you access to all three of Morocco’s desert regions. The most visited is Merzouga, home to the towering Erg Chebbi dunes. If you’re seeking a more remote and authentic desert journey, the wild dunes of Erg Lihoudi and Erg Chigaga, beyond M’hamid, promise an adventurous escape far from the crowds.

Historically, Marrakech was the meeting point of the great Saharan camel caravans, and today it welcomes travelers from around the globe. With tourism at its heart, the city is Morocco’s most accessible and popular destination. Whether you’re searching for a short cultural escape or a longer desert expedition, Marrakech has it all.

Our handpicked itineraries, such as the 10- 9 -8 -7-6-5-4-3 Day Atlas Mountains Tour and the 8- 12 – 14 -15 -16-17-18 Day Marrakech Explorer Tour, showcase the region’s diversity.
