An Insider's Guide to Where to Eat, Stay & Play in Morocco

If you’re looking to be enchanted, consider Morocco. The country offers a bit of everything: dynamic multiculturalism, stunning architecture, vibrant cities, beaches, nature escapes…Whatever your travel style, Morocco more than delivers.

Meander the maze-like souks, marketplaces and medinas (historical districts) of the country’s urban centers, from Casablanca to Fez, Marrakech to Essaouira. Savor fragrant tagines, herbal teas, fresh seafood and spices galore. Marvel at the intricate tilework and calligraphy that adorns much of Morocco’s buildings. Relax in a traditional hammam. Hike the Atlas Mountains. You won’t be at a loss for things to enjoy.

Morocco offers so much, and you'll want to build out your itinerary based on the time you have available, as well as your goals for what you want to see. Below, I’ve put together a sample itinerary of a few favorite places to visit, plus where to stay, what to do and where to eat in each location. (The country's allure extends well beyond these spots.) If you're flying from the States and want to stick to a direct flight, you’ll fly into Casablanca, Morocco’s commercial hub. From New York City, it's only a seven-hour flight. You can also opt for a layover somewhere like Amsterdam or Paris.

The below is just a sample of all that’s available, of course, rooted in Fes, Marrakech and Essaouira, each of which has a unique vibe. Depending on your travel style and preferences, you may want to spend more time here, a little less time there. Everything can be customized. (For instance, if you want to spend more time in the desert, we can swap out one of the destinations.) Not to worry: connect with me, and I’ll tailor a dream itinerary specific to you. Regardless, Morocco is calling, and now is the perfect time to travel.
