Morocco Travel Guide

A sensory overload wrapped in a medina — and worth every overpowering minute of it.

About

Why Visit Morocco?

Morocco is a country that hits you in every sense simultaneously — the call to prayer echoing across terracotta rooftops, the scent of cumin and argan oil drifting from a souk alley, the visual shock of Chefchaouen's blue-washed stairwells, the silence of a Sahara night with ten thousand stars overhead. A crossroads of Berber, Arab, African and European influences, Morocco has absorbed all of them without becoming any of them — it is entirely itself. From the labyrinthine medinas of Fez (the world's largest car-free urban area) to the rose valley of Dadès Gorge, and from the coast of Essaouira to the anti-Atlas plateau, Morocco is the most geographically and culturally dense country in North Africa.
