At Marrakech First, we are dedicated to guiding you through Morocco’s wonders, offering tailor-made tours that immerse you in the beauty and charm of this North African gem. 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. With its cool Atlantic breeze, Essaouira is a perfect getaway from the heat of the inland cities. Marrakech First offers full-day tours to Essaouira, where you can explore the charming streets, visit the bustling port, and relax on the beaches.


6. Atlas Mountains – A Natural Wonder

For nature lovers, the Atlas Mountains offer stunning vistas, traditional Berber villages, and endless hiking opportunities. With Marrakech First, you can embark on a journey through the High Atlas or Middle Atlas, visit the village of Imlil, or explore the breathtaking Ouzoud Waterfalls. Whether it’s a day trip or a longer trek, our customized tours bring you close to Morocco’s natural beauty.


7. Casablanca – Modern Marvel

As Morocco’s largest city and economic hub, Casablanca is a bustling metropolis that combines modernity with tradition. Our full-day tours in Casablanca take you to landmarks like the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world, and Rick’s Café, inspired by the famous movie "Casablanca." Whether you're interested in the city’s modern side or its rich history, we make sure you see it all.


8. Ouarzazate – The Gateway to the Sahara

Known as the “door to the desert,” Ouarzazate is famous for its stunning landscapes and ancient kasbahs. The Aït Benhaddou kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been featured in many famous films and TV shows, including Game of Thrones. Our tours from Marrakech include visits to this iconic site and a chance to explore the region’s rich cinematic history.


9. Meknes – The Imperial City

Often overshadowed by Fes and Marrakech, Meknes is an imperial city that should not be missed. It is home to impressive gates, grand palaces, and the tomb of Sultan Moulay Ismail. With our travel packages, you can explore the lesser-known gems of Meknes, visit the nearby Roman ruins of Volubilis, and enjoy the tranquil beauty of this historic city.


10. Tangier – The Crossroads of Continents

Located at the northern tip of Morocco, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, Tangier is a cosmopolitan city with a rich history of international influence.
