,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Morocco is a pretty incredible country to explore. Now, I know I say that to lots of places, but I truly mean it! It\u2019s one of those countries that\u2019s so much more than just the Souks of Marrakech\u00a0with so many of the best things to do in Morocco outside of the city itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the gorging on all the tagines, visiting the blue village of Chefchaouen and seeing the red arches of\u00a0Legzira \u2013 you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have the best time exploring, just remember to plan ahead and gorge on all the amazing food and tasty sweet tea (I swear, I was on a sugar high throughout our whole trip). Anyway, before I continue rambling, take a look at some of the very best things to do in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) See the medina in Fez<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things about Fez is its thriving cultural scene \u2013 it\u2019s filled with everything from artists galleries, history and amazing crafts. It\u2019s a city you really shouldn\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re there, make sure to visit the medina, you\u2019ll get to see lots of tanneries if you want. However, controversial opinion, I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve ever seen one that\u2019s left me in awe or inspired me to see more \u2013 maybe I\u2019ve been unlucky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For some gorgeous Moroccan buildings, head over to\u00a0Bou Inania Medersa or the crumbling Tombe dei Merenidi. You\u2019ll love the charm and it really is one of the best things to do in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) See the city of Marrakech<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marrakech needs little introduction. It\u2019s probably the most well-known city in all of Morocco (at least, internationally). Make sure to\u00a0Explore the markets \u00a0to find some gorgeous leather goodies. See the beautiful\u00a0Jardin Majorelle, visit\u00a0Ben Youssef Madrasa,\u00a0El Badi Palace and Wander around bahia palace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One note of caution about the snake charmers you see in the streets, often the snakes are captured from the wild and some even have their mouths sewn shut and fangs pulled out (so they can\u2019t harm us). This essentially starves the snake to death. Once this happens, a replacement is caught. Now, I\u2019m not a fan of snakes, but this is cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Walk the desert at Merzouga<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the east of Morocco is the tiny little village of Merzouga. Situated a stone\u2019s throw from the Algerian borders, it\u2019s nestled in the sand dunes that make this a perfect place to explore the Sahara Desert. If you\u2019re really lucky, you might even spot a few flamingoes too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drive from Marrakech can be up to 10 hours, so make sure you have a driver\/guide that\u2019ll take you. You can usually partner this up with a night in the desert yurts, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Spend a few days in Tangier<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the entry point of the Mediterranean Sea, Tangier faces across to Gibralter and Spain on the other side of the Gibralter Strait. Make sure to visit the Medina (I know, I say that in every city), see\u00a0Hercules Cave and go inside the\u00a0Tangier Casbah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Visit Moulay Idriss Zerhoun<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nestled at the bottom of Mount Zerhoun,  Moulay Idriss Zerhoun is an important village to locals and Moroccan Muslims, too. This was the first spot where the Idrisid dynasty came to power and brought Isalm to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the town itself, you\u2019ll find loads of hiking and walking routes that are great early in the morning. Inside the town, you\u2019ll find quaint little bakeries, olive pressing shops and plenty of coffee spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) See the arches of Legzira beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not too long ago, some of the arches (that make Legzira Beach famous) collapsed into the sea. Now, that shouldn\u2019t stop you visiting, it\u2019s still a lovely beach, especially at sunset and you can still admire the gorgeous red cliffs and other arches that have survived. You\u2019ll find lots of foody spots too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s still very popular with visitors (as, let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s often tipped as one of the\u00a0best things to do in Morocco), so if you\u2019re not keen on crowds I\u2019d recommend avoiding weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Explore Casablanca<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hands down, one of my favourite sites in Casablanca has to be the Hassan II Mosque. It\u2019s breathtakingly beautiful and a place you have to see when in the city. If you\u2019re looking for some local pottery or leather goods, pop over to the Quartier Habous where you\u2019ll find lots of treasures to take back home. You\u2019ll also find a good few spots in the old medina, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a good foody spot, pop into\u00a0Al Mounia who serve up the tastiest tagines and lamb. Yes, it\u2019s a tad bit more expensive than some of the local tavernas but it\u2019s well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) Wander through A\u00eft Benhaddou<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Possibly one of my favourite places in Morocco, A\u00eft Benhaddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that looks like it\u2019s carved within the mountain itself. This small little village is known locally as an ighrem (something similar to a walled and protected village) that was once used as a stopping point for traders through the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although very few people live here now, it\u2019s still an incredibly beautiful village to see. Just make sure to arrive early to avoid the crowds (and that intense midday sun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) See the Blue Village of Chefchaouen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Around 60 km south of Tangier, Chefchaouen is an iconic village you\u2019ll have likely seen all over the internet. It really is the most iconic sites and best things to do in Morocco. The old town is literally awash with blue buildings that make it such a unique place to see. Make sure to visit the medina, you\u2019ll find it a much more relaxing and calm experience compared to the souks of Marrakech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish Mosque is also a great little spot to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) Explore the capital, Rabat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perched on the Atlantic Ocean, Rabat is the capital city of Morocco. Make sure to visit the Kasbah des Oudaias, see the Hassan Tower and explore the Royal Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For some tasty food, pop into\u00a0Dar Zaki who serve a heart-warming Harira Soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.) Hike the Gorges of Dades<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finding some of the best things to do in Morocco is never hard when it comes to natural sites, such as the Gorges of Dades. Carved by the\u00a0Dad\u00e8s River, it\u2019s a place you should head to see some gorgeous vistas. Plus, if you\u2019re a geology buff, you\u2019ll love it! You can also go on a few different hikes around the gorges, just make sure to go with a guide as the terrain will be unfamiliar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12.) See the gorgeous Ouzoud Waterfall<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Things<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Close to the village of\u00a0Tanaghmeilt, the Ouzoud Waterfall is a great little spot to see in the Atlas Mountains You can visit the falls on a day trip from Marrakech if you don\u2019t fancy leaving the city overnight. It\u2019s not recommended to swim in the falls (due to currents and the lack of safety) but you will probably see a few people bathing on the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayush Tours Jaipur","og_description":"Morocco is a pretty incredible country to explore. Now, I know I say that to lots of places, but I truly mean it! It\u2019s one of those countries that\u2019s so much more than just the Souks of Marrakech\u00a0with so many of the best things to do in Morocco outside of the city itself. From the gorging on all the tagines, visiting the blue village of Chefchaouen and seeing the red arches of\u00a0Legzira \u2013 you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice. You\u2019ll have the best time exploring, just remember to plan ahead and gorge on all the amazing food and tasty sweet tea (I swear, I was on a sugar high throughout our whole trip). Anyway, before I continue rambling, take a look at some of the very best things to do in Morocco. 1.) See the medina in Fez One of the best things about Fez is its thriving cultural scene \u2013 it\u2019s filled with everything from artists galleries, history and amazing crafts. It\u2019s a city you really shouldn\u2019t miss. When you\u2019re there, make sure to visit the medina, you\u2019ll get to see lots of tanneries if you want. However, controversial opinion, I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve ever seen one that\u2019s left me in awe or inspired me to see more \u2013 maybe I\u2019ve been unlucky.  For some gorgeous Moroccan buildings, head over to\u00a0Bou Inania Medersa or the crumbling Tombe dei Merenidi. You\u2019ll love the charm and it really is one of the best things to do in Morocco. 2.) See the city of Marrakech Marrakech needs little introduction. It\u2019s probably the most well-known city in all of Morocco (at least, internationally). Make sure to\u00a0Explore the markets \u00a0to find some gorgeous leather goodies. See the beautiful\u00a0Jardin Majorelle, visit\u00a0Ben Youssef Madrasa,\u00a0El Badi Palace and Wander around bahia palace. One note of caution about the snake charmers you see in the streets, often the snakes are captured from the wild and some even have their mouths sewn shut and fangs pulled out (so they can\u2019t harm us). This essentially starves the snake to death. Once this happens, a replacement is caught. Now, I\u2019m not a fan of snakes, but this is cruel. 3.) Walk the desert at Merzouga In the east of Morocco is the tiny little village of Merzouga. Situated a stone\u2019s throw from the Algerian borders, it\u2019s nestled in the sand dunes that make this a perfect place to explore the Sahara Desert. If you\u2019re really lucky, you might even spot a few flamingoes too. The drive from Marrakech can be up to 10 hours, so make sure you have a driver\/guide that\u2019ll take you. You can usually partner this up with a night in the desert yurts, too. 4.) Spend a few days in Tangier At the entry point of the Mediterranean Sea, Tangier faces across to Gibralter and Spain on the other side of the Gibralter Strait. Make sure to visit the Medina (I know, I say that in every city), see\u00a0Hercules Cave and go inside the\u00a0Tangier Casbah. 5.) Visit Moulay Idriss Zerhoun Nestled at the bottom of Mount Zerhoun,  Moulay Idriss Zerhoun is an important village to locals and Moroccan Muslims, too. This was the first spot where the Idrisid dynasty came to power and brought Isalm to the country. Around the town itself, you\u2019ll find loads of hiking and walking routes that are great early in the morning. Inside the town, you\u2019ll find quaint little bakeries, olive pressing shops and plenty of coffee spots. 6.) See the arches of Legzira beach Not too long ago, some of the arches (that make Legzira Beach famous) collapsed into the sea. Now, that shouldn\u2019t stop you visiting, it\u2019s still a lovely beach, especially at sunset and you can still admire the gorgeous red cliffs and other arches that have survived. You\u2019ll find lots of foody spots too. It\u2019s still very popular with visitors (as, let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s often tipped as one of the\u00a0best things to do in Morocco), so if you\u2019re not keen on crowds I\u2019d recommend avoiding weekends. 7.) Explore Casablanca Hands down, one of my favourite sites in Casablanca has to be the Hassan II Mosque. It\u2019s breathtakingly beautiful and a place you have to see when in the city. If you\u2019re looking for some local pottery or leather goods, pop over to the Quartier Habous where you\u2019ll find lots of treasures to take back home. You\u2019ll also find a good few spots in the old medina, too. If you\u2019re looking for a good foody spot, pop into\u00a0Al Mounia who serve up the tastiest tagines and lamb. Yes, it\u2019s a tad bit more expensive than some of the local tavernas but it\u2019s well worth it. 8.) Wander through A\u00eft Benhaddou Possibly one of my favourite places in Morocco, A\u00eft Benhaddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that looks like it\u2019s carved within the mountain itself. This small little village is known locally as an ighrem (something similar to a walled and protected village) that was once used as a stopping point for traders through the desert. Although very few people live here now, it\u2019s still an incredibly beautiful village to see. Just make sure to arrive early to avoid the crowds (and that intense midday sun). 9.) See the Blue Village of Chefchaouen Around 60 km south of Tangier, Chefchaouen is an iconic village you\u2019ll have likely seen all over the internet. It really is the most iconic sites and best things to do in Morocco. The old town is literally awash with blue buildings that make it such a unique place to see. Make sure to visit the medina, you\u2019ll find it a much more relaxing and calm experience compared to the souks of Marrakech. The Spanish Mosque is also a great little spot to see. 10.) Explore the capital, Rabat Perched on the Atlantic Ocean, Rabat is the capital city of Morocco. Make sure to visit the Kasbah des Oudaias, see the Hassan Tower and explore the Royal Palace. For some tasty food, pop into\u00a0Dar Zaki who serve a heart-warming Harira Soup. 11.) Hike the Gorges of Dades Finding some of the […]","og_url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/12-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-morocco\/","og_site_name":"Ayush Tours Jaipur","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ayush-Tours-Jaipur-670592113397684\/","article_published_time":"2020-03-13T11:22:21+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-02-02T05:46:01+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1024,"height":683,"url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/mo.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"6 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/12-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-morocco\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/12-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-morocco\/"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a6ab0ac12d776e4d6e5c71601e85a5b4"},"headline":"12 Of The Best Things To Do In Morocco","datePublished":"2020-03-13T11:22:21+00:00","dateModified":"2021-02-02T05:46:01+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/12-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-morocco\/"},"wordCount":1231,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/#organization"},"articleSection":["Blog"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/12-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-morocco\/","url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/03\/13\/12-of-the-best-things-to-do-in-morocco\/","name":"12 Of The Best Things To Do In Morocco -
