Morocco sits where Europe meets Africa, offering a mix of old and new under vast skies. The busy markets of Marrakech are full of spice smells and bright crafts, while the Atlas Mountains provide quiet, grand views. Its old medinas have narrow paths that take you back in time, showing life that’s been going on for hundreds of years.
Outside the cities, the Sahara Desert offers endless sand and clear night skies, perfect for those looking for adventure or peace. The coastal town of Essaouira is calm, with ocean sounds and simple, beautiful white and blue buildings.

“I love Morocco – it’s a real challenge to all five senses. You think you know something, and you don’t. It’s wonderful. It keeps you on your toes that way.” — Amy Ryan

Foods to Eat
1. TAGINE
A slow-cooked stew that combines meat (such as chicken, lamb, or beef), vegetables, and a variety of spices (like cumin, coriander, and cinnamon) cooked in a traditional clay pot.
2. Couscous
Steamed balls of semolina usually served with a stew on top. It’s a staple dish in Moroccan cuisine, often eaten on special occasions but enjoyed regularly as well.
3. Pastilla (or Bastilla)
A savory-sweet pie made from layers of thin pastry (warqa) filled with spiced pigeon or chicken, almonds, and eggs, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. It’s a complex dish that showcases the unique blend of flavors characteristic of Moroccan cooking.
Day 1
Dive into the heart of Marrakech with a morning visit to the serene Jardin Majorelle and the chic Yves Saint Laurent Museum. Spend your afternoon getting lost in the vibrant alleys of the Medina, where history pulses in every corner. Cap off the day with a flavorful dinner atop a rooftop, watching the lively Jemaa el-Fnaa square from above.
Day 2
Embark on a journey into the Atlas Mountains, where the air is fresh and the landscapes are awe-inspiring. A guided hike or mule ride reveals the natural beauty of Toubkal National Park. Experience the warmth of Berber hospitality with lunch in a traditional village, then return to Marrakech for an evening of relaxation, perhaps in a luxurious hammam.
Day 3
Take a scenic drive to Essaouira, a coastal gem that blends history with a laid-back beach vibe. Wander through its fortified medina, soak up art and culture, and feast on the freshest seafood. The beach offers a tranquil retreat to end your Moroccan journey before heading back to Marrakech.
