1. Moroccan Sahara
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 179 reviews
The largest desert in the world, extending between 800 and 1,200 miles and at least 3,000 miles from east to west, covers one-fourth the area of Africa including the lands of Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.

We took the road from Ouarzazate to Marrakesh and were blown away by the natural beauty of the area as we drove on narrow roads with many switchbacks, climbs and declines through The Draa River gorge that were cut into the earth years ago. The Draa Valley is home to Berber villages with its Kasbahs, sand dunes, and lush green plains. It begins its journey from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and 1100 km. later drains into the Atlantic Ocean. It is Morocco’s largest river. Our trip took us through the high Atlas Mountains with its many deposits of copper, iron and other metals turning the mountainous soil into mounds of reds, greens, blacks and other earthen tone colors. The trip took us through Col du Tichka, Morocco's highest mountain pass at 7410 ft which lies above the Marrakesh plains and gateway to the Sahara Desert. The trip was spell-binding.
2. Merzouga Desert

Merzouga is a small village in the southeast of Morocco and it is the last settlement in front of the boundless desert - the gate to the desert... Here people come from all over the world to see the real elements - a sea of bright orange sand, to ride a desert ship - camel and fall in love once and for all times in this oriental tale. We preferred to meet the dawn in the desert, but stopped to spend the night in a small town of pink color - Erfoud, where the locals kindly provided us with a roof with a mattress and pillows so we could get some sleep before we go to the desert. The brightest thing that is remembered in this area is the night sky. Illuminations of small towns cannot give so much light to cover the light of distant stars and so the sky in the desert is studded with diamonds and it is impossible to forget it... We did not fall asleep that night, admiring the light of the silver stars, we forgot about the time, and at 3.00 o'clock in the morning, it was time to move into the desert to see how the reddened sun rose from the sand dunes and changed the color of the endless desert from gray to bright orange.
3. Hassan II Mosque
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8,972 reviews
This stately mosque, a fine example of pure Moroccan architecture, is the only one in the city that non-Muslims may visit.
Reviewed By jemapelleiris - Hong Kong, China
Although the ticket is a bit expensive and you must follow the visit schedule tightly, it is worth visiting as the indoor design is beautiful and attractive and the guided tour provides useful information. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee, you can also take nice pictures in the square, which is also impressive.
4. Medina of Fez
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9,433 reviews
The city’s ancient quarter is an intricate maze of streets lined with open markets, shops and mosques.
Reviewed By 254peterc254 - Trinidad, United States
Fabulous...! From the world-famous (and moderately odorous) leather tannery to exotic (to us) food stalls to the best mint tea we had - the Fez Medina is truly a remarkable experience. Think in terms of thousands (literally) of small, winding, unnamed, and often vigorous alleyways, walkways and occasional streets, that grew largely organically over hundreds of years. To get the most out of this experience, we would recommend hiring a guide. Our tour included sampling many of the very interesting (and tasty) foods - including preserved beef, some just-cooked wonderful stretchy bread, figs, other sweets, pickles - and a honey tasting of a dozen different honeys. Not far from tannery is a small mint tea shop, which made (without question!) the best and most interesting mint tea we had in Morocco - the shop consists of about 4 stools, a small bench, a wonderful, large copper pot, a small burner - and the fabulous and personable proprietor. Delightful! The tannery is quite a visual (and, um, fragrant) experience. Truly one of the highlights of a Moroccan experience!
5. Medina of Essaouira

4.5 based on 4,484 reviews
Dar Zahira is a beautifully restored and charming riad for up to 6 persons. You'll get a private & cosy place for you and your travel companions.
Reviewed By Robinsons33 - Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom
Always enjoyable to visit the medina Less hassle than in Marrakesh Corona has hit the medina and significant places have ceased trading or closed for reductions of the transmission. Which in turn has increased the poverty a bit but not threatening just quite sad to have been before the pandemic and thoroughly enjoyed every area. There is hope in the town and it’s a beautiful place with friendly people Always happy to return

Located on a large hilltop alongside the Hassan Tower complete with ceremonial guards on horseback and foot, the Mausoleum of Mohammad V is an impressive site. Plan on walking the square and observing the exquisite exterior prior to entering to pay your respects.
7. Jardin Majorelle

4.5 based on 49,740 reviews
Nicely designed and maintained gardens, similar to those of Generalife in Granada, Spain. It’s a good place to recoup from the intensity of the market atmosphere.

8. Anti-Atlas Mountains
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
Reviewed By edc338 - Arlington, United States
Our tour made a long day's drive from Erfoud to Aït Benhaddou. Having traveled from Ouarzazate to Erfoud via N10 in the valley between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, we made the return trip via N12, R108 and N9 through and over the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Being significantly older than the High Atlas, these mountains are lower. However The trip is beautiful and barren. In many areas the scenery can be described as Lunar. N12 runs northeast-southwest through a plateau. At Tazzarine we turned west onto N108 which was a shorter route to N9 which heads northwest over the Tizi-n-Tinififft pass back to Ouarzazate. The trip up the pass was followed several dry, picturesque canyons. The pass itself provided a look along an impressive canyon. It also had a couple of stone huts which were "staffed" by the ever present souvenir hawkers. There are no facilities at the top of this pass.
