Morocco holidays offer a stunning blend of history, culture, landscapes and year-round sun.

Bursting with colour and intrigue, delve into spice-filled souks, stroll along atmospheric alleys or relax and unwind in a steamy hammam - Morocco offers a taste of the exotic. From the stunning imperial cities of Marrakech, Fes, Meknes and Rabat, to the rugged beauty of the deserts and the High Atlas Mountains and the coastal port town of Essaouira, each corner of this breathtaking country offers an abundance of fascinating culture and rich history to discover.

In Marrakech, visit the Koutoubia Mosque with its impressive minaret, the Saadian Tombs dating back to the 16th Century and the colourful maze of the famous souks of the medina. Once you’ve explored this vibrant city, discover the spectacular scenery of the nearby High Atlas Mountains, the laidback beachside town of Essaouira, the bustling souks of Fez, charming Rabat, impressive Casablanca and much more.

WHERE TO GO IN MOROCCO

Each region of Morocco holds its own unique appeal and the perfect holiday could see you combining several or focusing on one particular area. You might choose to explore beautiful Marrakech, the nearby High Atlas Mountains and coastal Essaouira – the perfect combination of city, mountains and beach.

Alternatively, your ideal Moroccan holiday might be discovering its four grand imperial cities: Marrakech, Fez, Rabat and Meknes. If you’re short on time, a city break to Marrakech or Fez alone offers an intoxicating mix of history and culture. Let us know what you’re after and we will make it work.

OUR RECOMMENDED HOTELS & RIADS IN MOROCCO

We feature a great range of accommodation in Morocco, with something to suit all budgets. Maybe you’re looking for a boutique riad in the heart of Marrakech? Perhaps it’s a quaint guesthouse in the High Atlas Mountains or a luxury beach resort by the coast.

What you won’t find here are thousands of Morocco hotels to wade through. We have done the hard work for you and selected the best places to stay and our travel consultants are on hand to help, often with first-hand experience.

Hotels vs Riads


Morocco is the only country in the world which offers authentic riad stays. Traditionally, these tall narrow buildings play host to multi-generational families and feature an interior courtyard housing a fountain and some greenery. These days many have been transformed into beautiful guesthouses offering an authentic Moroccan experience and are located inside the medina (old town) walls.

They vary in size and style – from 4 to 20 rooms, from traditional to modern and from family-run to part of a wider group. Typically, they serve some of the best food in the city and are the perfect choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets and a glimpse into Moroccan daily life in years gone by.

WHAT TO DO IN MOROCCO

As well as some awe-inspiring sights, Morocco is also home to unforgettable experiences. These provide a unique insight into the culture that sightseeing alone simply can’t replace.

One day you might be exploring the souks and alleyways of the ancient medina, the next sampling delicious Moroccan flavours on a street food tour or cooking up a storm at a tajine cookery class.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT MOROCCO?

The best time to visit Morocco varies by region. In short, there really is no bad time of year for a Morocco holiday but generally Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to October) is perfect as the weather is pleasant and warm, without temperatures getting too high.

The High Atlas Mountains can get very cold in the winter and hot in the summer, so if you’re planning on a trek, it’s best to stick to the shoulder seasons.

Morocco Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Andy Ferguson - Morocco expert
Andy Ferguson

The High Atlas Mountains have amazing scenery for anyone that loves the off the beaten track feeling. It's very remote whilst still being about 45 minutes to the city of Marrakech. We saw local shepherds and goat farmers on the mountains whilst we were out on our hike!

Sarika Ambasna - Morocco expert
Sarika Ambasna

Marrakech is a melting pot of culture, hustle and bustle and calm in equal measures. Take a trip through the old town to visit local hamanns, purchase exotic spices or eat copious amounts of tagine. Take the opportunity to stay in a local riad to experience a quieter side of the city in the centre of town, or take a trip to the Atlas Mountains if you want to venture a little further afield.

Sarah Szyszkiewicz - Morocco expert
Sarah Szyszkiewicz

I loved Essaouira as a perfect relaxing couple of days at the end of a Morocco holiday. A small town, painted blue and white with an endless array of restaurants, roof top cafes, boutiques shops, stray alley cats and a wide, windswept beach.
