from the pristine Atlas Mountains, devouring all the tagines, touring Chefchaouen's blue hamlet, and taking in Legzira's scarlet scenery.
You'll have a ton of options.
You'll have the greatest experience touring if you prepare ahead of time and feast yourself on all the delicious food and sweet tea (I swear, I was on a sugar high throughout our whole trip).
However, before I go on, check out some of the top things to do in Morocco.
The Hassan II Mosque is without a doubt one of my favorite places in Casablanca. When visiting the city, you must visit this spot since it is so stunningly gorgeous. Visit the Quartier Habous if you're seeking some locally made ceramics or leather products; you'll discover plenty of goodies to bring back home. There are quite a few places in the ancient medina as well.
Visit Al Mounia for the best lamb and tagines if you're searching for an excellent restaurant.
Compared to other of neighborhood tavernas, it is a little more pricey, but it is still well worth it.
One of Fez's finest features is its vibrant cultural scene, which is full of everything from art galleries to fascinating crafts. You definitely shouldn't miss this city. Visit the medina while you're there; if you wish, you may view several tanneries there. I can't say, however, that I've ever seen one that's left me speechless or motivated me to see more; maybe I've just been unlucky. Visit Bou Inania Medersa or the dilapidated Tombe dei Merenidi for some stunning Moroccan structures. It really is one of the nicest things to do in Morocco, and you'll like its charm.
At Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is perhaps one of my favorite locations in Morocco. It seems to have been carved out of the mountain itself. This little settlement was formerly a resting place for merchants traveling across the desert and is referred to locally as an ighrem (something akin to a walled and fortified community). Even though there are now very few residents, the town is nonetheless breathtaking to see. Just remember to get there early to beat the throngs (and that intense midday sun).
There's no need to introduce Marrakech. Perhaps the most famous city in all of Morocco is this one (at least, internationally). To locate some wonderful leather goods, be sure to peruse the marketplaces and souks. Explore Bahia Palace, the stunning Jardin Majorelle, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, and El Badi Palace.
A word of warning about the snake charmers you could encounter on the street: often, the snakes are taken from the wild, and some even have their mouths stitched shut and their fangs removed (so they can't bite humans). The snake is virtually starved to death as a result. Once that takes occur, a substitute is discovered. Read in detail about it here. Even if I don't like snakes, this is harsh.

Chefchaouen is a famous hamlet you shouldn't pass by, located in the Rif Mountains about 60 kilometers south of Tangier.
Booking this fantastic trip from Fes with a local travel agency Morocco Sahara Trips will take you all through the actual blue town, which is lovely and simple to explore. The trip lasts for around 12 hours and is well worthwhile if you want to learn more about Chefchaouen's history and culture. It is really renowned and among the top things to do in Morocco while traveling there. The ancient town is so unusual to see since it is absolutely swamped with blue structures. Visit the medina; you'll find it to be a far more tranquil and tranquil experience than the souks of Marrakech.
Another excellent location to see is the Spanish Mosque. Purchase: A Day Trip to Chefchaouen, the Blue Town.
The little settlement of Merzouga is located in Morocco's east.
It is set in the sand dunes and only a short distance from the Algerian border, making it the ideal location from which to explore the Sahara Desert. If you're really fortunate, you could even see some flamingos.
Make sure you sign up for a reputable tour that will transport you as the travel from Marrakech might take up to 10 hours. This is often combined with a stay in a yurt in the desert. Wish to linger longer? A 3 days tour from Marrakech to Fes. You'll get to explore the Kasbah of Ouarzazate in addition to staying at a Bedouin camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, which is such a unique experience.
Reserve: 4 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga desert with Moroccan Desert Tours.
The capital city of Morocco is Rabat, which is perched on the Atlantic Ocean. Don't forget to see the Royal Palace, view the Hassan Tower, and go to the Kasbah des Oudaias. Visit Dar Zaki for some delicious meals, including the comforting Harira Soup.
Tangier confronts Gibraltar and Spain on the opposite side of the Gibraltar Strait at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. Don't forget to see Hercules Cave, the Medina (I know, I say that in every city), and the Tangier Casbah. Oh, and don't forget, you can simply arrange this excursion to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls if you're in Tangier. It's definitely worth going.
When it comes to natural attractions like the Gorges of Dades, finding some of the top things to do in Morocco is never difficult. You should visit this location to take in the stunning views carved out by the Dads River.
Additionally, geology enthusiasts will like it. As the landscape will be unknown, you may also do a couple of different walks throughout the gorges. Just be careful to go with a guide.
Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, a settlement at the foot of Mount Zerhoun, is significant to the community as well as to Moroccan Muslims. The Idrisid dynasty initially came to prominence here, introducing Isalm to the nation. There are several hiking and walking trails in and around the town, which are fantastic early in the day. You may discover several coffee shops, cute tiny bakeries, and stores that press olives within the village.
To make things simpler, arrange a private trip from Fes that visits Moulay Idriss and Meknes Volubilis.
The Ouzoud Waterfall in the Atlas Mountains is a nice small attraction to visit close to the community of Tanaghmeilt.
If you don't feel like leaving the city overnight, you may see the falls by signing up for this day excursion cruise from Marrakech. Additionally, they'll aid in your ability to locate the Grand Atlas monkeys.
One thing to keep in mind is that swimming in the falls is not advised owing to the currents and lack of safety, although you may likely see some people bathing on the slopes or on the boats (that is a must).
On the route, you may also visit a few little Berber villages, like this one.
A few of the famed Legzira Beach arches recently toppled into the water. However, it shouldn't discourage you from going since the beach is still magnificent, particularly at dusk, and you can still take in the stunning red cliffs and other remaining arches.
There are also a number of places to eat. Because it's still one of the top things to do in Morocco, it's still highly popular with tourists, so if you're not a fan of crowds, I'd advise avoiding weekends.
