Morocco Travel Guide

Discover Colourful Morocco

Bright colours, beautiful architecture, ancient medinas, the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert, sandy beaches, modern cities, camels, cats, tasty tangine, markets, calls for prayer, Amazigh culture, argan oil, wonderful people, and great wines

Morocco is all of this and much, much more.

You can spend weeks travelling around this North-African gem, but a long weekend in Marrakech staying in a unique riad will give you a taste of what it can offer. Spend a week in Morocco, and you can also explore the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou and the white-washed beauty of Essaouira.

I certainly haven’t seen nearly enough of Morocco yet, but below you find all of my best tips after my visit in 2023.
