Marrakech:

Both traditional and contemporary, Marrakech seduces with its many facets. 3 hours by plane from Paris, it is easily accessible and attracts visitors wishing to change the scenery for a weekend. With the peaks of the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, the city and its various neighbourhoods are full of treasures.

Alternately vibrant and calm, electric and serene, there is something for everyone, whether in the picturesque alleys of the Medina, the historic city centre guarded by the ramparts, in the lush gardens of Majorelle and Menara, or well in the trendy boutiques of Guéliz, the modern part. Further north, Palm Grove is suitable for quad trips or camel rides.

Bewitching and generous, Marrakech is open to you. At Jamaa El Fna square, you can find many travel agencies that offer tours to the Sahara of Merzouga, and the best of them all is the Marrakech to Fes desert tour 3 days because you can camel trek and camp in Merzouga then head over Fes for other sites to explore.

The Atlas :

Morocco is a country with very varied landscapes. Between dunes and beaches, the relief is also marked by the Atlas mountain range in the northern part of the country. The High Atlas region, where the highest peaks in North Africa are located, offers incredibly rich landscapes and will satisfy hiking and trekking lovers.

Between green forests and arid valleys, snow-capped ridges and vast plateaus, the region is dotted with roads and trails allowing you to discover another side of Morocco, off the beaten track.

Among the must-see places, the Ourika valley, near Marrakech, plunges visitors into the heart of raw nature, meeting the Berber tribes. The Atlas region also has important national parks such as Toukbal, or Souss-Massa. The latter shelters in particular the M’Goun massif, whose slopes are the joy of skiers in winter.


Further south in the part called the Anti-Atlas, there are still pleasant hiking trails accessible from the city of Taroudant. Here, the High Mountain has given way to oases, agricultural fields, torrents and waterfalls.

Fes :

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful imperial cities of Morocco, the one that purists will qualify as a “real Moroccan city”, with an authentic atmosphere and architecture. The old town, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has an important cultural heritage, shared between traditional souks, museums and madrasas (Koranic schools). Many travel agencies here offer Fes desert tours, it’s where you can do the camel ride and camping in the desert.

Chefchaouen :

Chefchaouen is a bit like a postcard from Morocco. Located in the northeast of the country, this mountain village is intriguing with its faded blue colour that completely covers the walls of the houses. A stroll in the narrow streets of Chefchaouen almost transports us to an imaginary country, between the change of scenery and enchantment.

In the heart of the medina, the small winding streets are dotted with carpets, fabrics, herbs and spices, woven baskets and other handicrafts. This welcoming village also has several historical monuments that can be seen at the end of an alley: the central square Outa El-Hammam planted with trees is the daily meeting place for tourists and Chaounais, and you can contemplate there from one of the terraces the terracotta walls of the old Kasbah.

Not far from there is the Great Mosque, which can only be admired from the outside as the entrance is reserved only for Muslims

Daraa Valley :

Starting from Ouarzazate, the Drâa valley stretches for 200 km in a long fertile crescent in the middle of arid land, where Berber villages, historic fortifications, oases and lush palm groves sprinkled with waterfalls follow one another.

Between the towns of Agdz and M’Hamid via Zagora, several routes are possible to make a trek to discover the varied landscapes of the valley cradled by the Wadi Drâa, the longest river in Morocco. But the region is also dotted with Kasbahs and Ksours in rammed earth, witnesses of its historical past.

Meknes :

On the road to the imperial cities of Morocco, Meknes is one of the unmissable stops on this circuit. Founded in the 8th century, the city surrounded by ramparts and monumental gates has unique architecture and historical remains, inherited from the greatest Moroccan dynasties that have succeeded each other over the centuries (Idrissides, Almoravids, Mérinides or even Alaouites). A heritage that has earned it a UNESCO World Heritage List.

Essaouira :

A pretty seaside resort in the Atlantic, Essaouira enjoys a sunny climate all year round which allows you to enjoy its superb beaches. Due to the sometimes strong winds that blow regularly on the coast, swimming is not always quiet, but the city is undoubtedly a paradise for surfers and other water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, etc.

For the little anecdote, it is also in Essaouira that the kitesurfing world cup is organized every year. But the city is also recognized for its bright white Medina, the historic city centre surrounded by ramparts and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Merzouga :

This region, located near the Algerian border, concentrates the highest sand dunes of the Sahara. A unique place with majestic landscapes that will appeal to lovers of nature and wide-open spaces. Some of these dunes reach up to 150 meters in height, and the colours seen from above are striking, especially at sunrise and sunset. Trekking and expeditions to explore this natural wonder start from the village of Merzouga.

Led by an experienced guide, the first option (and the least degrading for this fragile environment) is to go there on the back of a camel. More sporty, you can also rent a quad, a buggy or even a 4X4, but be careful to go between the dunes so as not to damage them! For day and night wonder, it is strongly recommended to spend a night in a bivouac or under the stars, contemplating the Milky Way.
