Here are the 10 best places to visit in Morocco and how Marrakech First can help you experience them like never before.
1. Marrakech – The Red City
Marrakech is a must-see for any traveler. Known for its vibrant markets, stunning palaces, and historical sites, Marrakech is the perfect blend of old and new. The iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, with its lively atmosphere, offers a sensory overload of food, music, and art. With Marrakech First, we offer guided tours through the Medina, where you can explore the souks, visit the Koutoubia Mosque, and marvel at the beauty of the Bahia Palace. Our guides ensure you don’t miss a thing.
2. Fes – The Cultural Heart
Fes, Morocco's spiritual and cultural center, is home to the world’s oldest university, Al Quaraouiyine, and the UNESCO-listed Fes Medina. The winding alleys and historic architecture make this city an architectural marvel. With our multi-day tours, you can explore the labyrinth of Fes’ old city, visit the tanneries, and experience traditional Moroccan craftsmanship.
3. Chefchaouen – The Blue Pearl
Tucked away in the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is famous for its blue-painted streets and tranquil atmosphere. This picturesque town is a favorite for photographers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Our day tours from Marrakech or multi-day trips from Casablanca allow you to explore the serene beauty of Chefchaouen while learning about its rich history from our expert guides.
4. The Sahara Desert – A Dune Adventure
No visit to Morocco is complete without experiencing the majesty of the Sahara Desert. At Marrakech First, we offer unforgettable desert excursions, including camel treks and luxury camping in the dunes. Watch the sunset over the sands, enjoy traditional Berber music around a campfire, and sleep under a canopy of stars. Our multi-day tours to Merzouga and Erg Chebbi provide an authentic desert adventure you’ll never forget.
5. Essaouira – The Windy City
The coastal city of Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its old medina, fortified walls, and vibrant arts scene.
