WHY CHOOSE US
Why Should You Choose Morocco for Your Next Vacation?
Enchanting Cities
Morocco's cities are like living storybooks, each page filled with vibrant tales and sensory delights. Lose yourself in the labyrinthine souks (markets) of Marrakech, where the air is alive with the calls of vendors, the scent of spices, and the kaleidoscope of colors from handcrafted goods. In Fes, step back in time as you wander through the tanneries, where leather is still dyed using traditional methods. Chefchaouen, the "Blue Pearl," will charm you with its azure-hued buildings and serene atmosphere, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.
Beautiful Landscapes
Morocco's landscapes are a playground for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Opt on a camel trek in the mesmerizing Sahara Desert, where towering sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see. Hike through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, home to Berber villages, cascading waterfalls, and the towering peak of Mount Toubkal. For a more relaxed escape, head to the coastal haven of Essaouira, where golden beaches, vibrant fishing boats, and world-class windsurfing await. And for a taste of the unexpected, explore the otherworldly landscapes of the Draa Valley, with its lush palm groves and ancient kasbahs.
Rich Culture and History
Morocco's history is a tapestry woven with threads from diverse civilizations. Wander through the Roman ruins of Volubilis, marvel at the intricate mosaics and grand arches that speak of a bygone era. Delve into the medieval kasbahs of AitBenhaddou and Skoura, where mud-brick fortresses stand as testaments to Berber ingenuity and resilience. Immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions of Berber culture, from their colorful textiles to their mesmerizing music and dance. Attend a traditional Fantasia performance, where horsemen in flowing robes showcase their equestrian skills.
Warm Hospitality
Moroccans have a reputation for being incredibly welcoming and hospitable, always eager to share their rich culture and traditions with visitors. Whether you're sipping mint tea in a local's home, getting lost in the maze-like alleyways of a medina, or simply asking for directions, you'll be met with genuine kindness and helpfulness. This spirit of hospitality is a deeply ingrained cultural value that permeates every interaction. You may find yourself invited to share a meal with a family, offered a cup of tea in a shop, or simply engaged in lively conversation with locals eager to learn about your life and experiences. This authentic connection with the Moroccan people adds a unique dimension to your travels.
Moroccan Cuisine
Prepare your taste buds for a culinary journey through Morocco, a country renowned for its flavorful and aromatic cuisine! Influenced by Berber, Arab, Andalusian, and Mediterranean traditions, Moroccan food is a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors, spices, and textures. Don't miss the opportunity to savor classic dishes like tagine (a slow-cooked stew), couscous (steamed semolina grains served with vegetables and meat), and pastilla (a savory pie filled with chicken or pigeon). Indulge in the sweet treats like chebakia (sesame cookies) and gazelle horns (almond pastries), or sip on a refreshing mint tea, the national drink of Morocco.
Vibrant Shopping Scene
Morocco is a shopper's paradise, with vibrant souks brimming with handcrafted treasures. Marrakech's Djemaa el-Fna square is a bustling hub for local artisans, selling everything from colorful textiles and intricate jewelry to leather goods and traditional pottery. In Fes, explore the tanneries, where leather is still dyed using natural pigments, and don't miss the chance to haggle for a unique souvenir. In Essaouira, browse art galleries showcasing local talent or pick up handcrafted wooden boxes and thuya wood crafts. Wherever you go in Morocco, you'll stumble upon unique and beautiful items for you to bring home as treasured reminders of your trip.

WHAT TO PACK
What to Pack for Your Moroccan Adventure
Clothing
Pack clothes that can be easily layered, as temperatures can vary, especially in the desert and mountains. Bring lightweight, breathable fabrics for warmer days and warmer layers like sweaters or fleeces for cooler evenings.
Respect local customs by packing clothes that cover your shoulders and knees, especially when visiting religious sites or rural areas. For women, consider packing a few long skirts or loose-fitting pants.
You'll be doing a lot of walking, so pack comfortable shoes or hiking boots, depending on your planned activities. If you plan on visiting the beach, bring sandals or flip-flops as well.
Don't forget a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong Moroccan sun. A wide-brimmed hat is particularly useful for keeping the sun off your face and neck. A versatile scarf can be used for sun protection, warmth, or as a fashion accessory. It can also be useful for covering your head when entering mosques or other religious sites.
Essentials
Keep all your travel documents, including your passport, visa (if required), travel insurance information, and any other relevant documents. Make copies of your passport and other important documents and store them separately in case of loss or theft.
Bring any prescription medications you need, along with a basic first-aid kit for minor ailments. It's also a good idea to pack some over-the-counter pain relievers and antihistamines.
Pack your usual toiletries, including biodegradable soap and shampoo if you plan on trekking or camping. Hand sanitizer and wet wipes can also be useful for maintaining hygiene on the go.
Morocco uses European-style two-pin plugs, so bring an adapter if your electronics have different plugs. Consider a universal adapter if you're traveling with multiple devices.
We also recommend keeping a money belt or pouch to be able to securely carry your cash and important documents.
Optional Extras
Bringing a phrasebook along is an excellent idea. Learning a few basic Arabic or Berber phrases can go a long way in communicating with locals and enhancing your cultural experience. It shows respect for the local culture and can open doors to unique encounters.
Your camera must tag along! Capture the stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and unique moments of your Moroccan adventure. If you're a photography enthusiast, consider bringing extra batteries or a portable charger.
A journal is great to jot down your experiences, reflections, and memories. You can record conversations with locals, describe the sights, smells, and sounds of the markets, or simply reflect on your personal journey.
Having some snacks on hand can be helpful, especially if you're traveling in remote areas or have dietary restrictions. Nuts, dried fruit, and energy bars are good options.
Frequently Asked Questions
The ideal time to visit Morocco largely depends on your personal preferences and the type of experience you’re seeking. The shoulder seasons of spring (March through May) and fall (September through November) are often favored for travel due to their agreeable temperatures and fewer tourists.Summer (June to August) can be scorchingly hot, especially in the desert regions, but it’s a great time to visit the coastal areas for swimming and water sports. Winter (December to February) can be chilly in the mountains, but it’s an excellent time for skiing and snowboarding in the High Atlas. Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on your individual interests and planned activities.
Citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and most EU countries, do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in Morocco. However, it’s important to check the specific requirements for your nationality before you travel. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days or have a different type of passport, you may need to apply for a visa at the Moroccan embassy or consulate in your home country.

ATMs are readily available in most towns and cities, but it’s recommended to withdraw a larger amount to avoid multiple transaction fees.
Morocco offers various transportation options for getting around. Domestic flights connect major cities like Marrakech, Casablanca, Fes, and Tangier. Trains are an efficient way to travel between major cities, with several different classes available.Buses are the most common mode of transportation, offering extensive routes throughout the country.
