Best Things to Do with 7 Days in Morocco
Itinerary in Morocco: day 1
Explore the souks of Marrakesh
Marrakesh is known for its vibrant, bustling souks or marketplaces where you can purchase a huge range of unique items produced by skilled craftsmen. Whether you are looking for beautiful brassware or a pair of babouche slippers, you can find them in these amazing locations. During your visit, you might even try your hand at doing a bit of haggling as the locals do.
El Badi Palace
El Badi Palace is a historic ruin located in Marrakesh that is currently inhabited by stray cats and storks. It was constructed during the reign of Sultan Ahmad ad-Mansur. Though its heyday is long past, you can still get an idea of how opulent this place once was during your visit.
Itinerary in Morocco: day 2
The Heritage Museum
Marrakesh's Heritage Museum is a must for any traveller who wants to learn more about the region's long and storied history. It is located inside a riad that dates to the 17th century and features a huge array of artefacts from the Alouani Bibi family. You will encounter everything from tribal jewellery pieces to ancient pottery examples. After you are done seeing the exhibition, you can head to the rooftop café for a bite to eat.
The Jardin Majorelle
The Jardin Majorelle is one of the most stunning and iconic botanical gardens in the Marrakesh region. It is a great addition to your Morocco itinerary of 7 days. This artistic set of gardens is located on a plot of land that covers 1 hectare. It was created by famed French painted Yves Saint Laurent over the course of 40 years. You will find an impressive mix of plantlife, such as palms, bamboo and cacti.
Itinerary in Morocco: day 3
Agadir Beach
No Morocco itinerary of 7 days would be complete without spending some time soaking up the sun on the beach. When it comes to coastal stretches of sand, you cannot go wrong with Agadir Beach. It goes on for 5 kilometres from the city's marina and is known for its impressive waves that are beloved by surfers. There is even a nearby surf school where those new to the sport can gain valuable instruction.
The Museum of Amazigh Culture
Another can't-miss attraction in Agadir is the Museum of Amazigh Culture. This is the place to head to discover the history and culture of the Berber people while viewing examples of boucherouite rugs, wood carvings, pottery and historic manuscripts. The galleries also feature exquisite examples of silverwork in the form of brooches and bracelets.
Itinerary in Morocco: day 4
The Agadir Oufella
The Agadir Oufella consists of the ruins of the city's historic kasbah. It dates to 1572 and sits along the sharp slopes of a 300-metre-tall hill. The main point of interest is the restored outer walls. Much of this location was destroyed during an earthquake in 1960, but it is still a fascinating place to add to your Morocco itinerary of 7 days.
Crocoparc
Situated on the outskirts of Agadir, you will find Crocoparc. This unique attraction has been open since 2015. It is a zoo that is solely devoted to Nile crocodiles. During your visit, you will have the chance to view these incredible reptiles from a safe vantage point on a raised platform. You can also check them out through a glass box built into the ground of one of the enclosures for those who want an even closer look.
Itinerary in Morocco: day 5
The Boulevard de la Corniche
Curling along the oceanfront in Casablanca, you will find the iconic Boulevard de la Corniche. This palm tree-lined boardwalk extends for several kilometres and features a series of sandy beaches. Many of them have private clubs. On the other side, you will encounter a variety of bars, nightclubs, hookah establishments and fast-food restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat, have a smoke, get a drink or simply party the night away.
The Villa des Arts de Casablanca
Another way to spend some quality time during your Morocco itinerary of 7 days is to pay a visit to the Villa des Arts de Casablanca. It is operated by the ONA Foundation, which regularly puts on seminars, educational workshops, exhibitions and musical performances.
Itinerary in Morocco: day 6
The Ourika Valley Waterfalls
As your Morocco itinerary of 7 days takes you to the Ourika area, visiting the Ourika Valley Waterfalls is in order. This is your chance to enjoy a rewarding hike in the countryside that will take you to a stunning series of waterfalls that are sure to take your breath away. Getting to the first set of falls is a relatively easy task, but you will want to make sure you are capable of doing a bit of climbing if you want to see the other 6. A high-quality pair of walking shoes is a must for this part of your holiday experience.
Setti Fatma
The village of Setti Fatma is popular with nature lovers on holiday in Morocco. Though it was traditionally a Berber settlement, these days, the focus is on tourism, with operators offering a range of outdoor tours and adventures that you can join. You will also find ample time to sample local Moroccan cuisine and purchase some handicrafts as souvenirs.
Itinerary in Morocco: day 7
The Ramparts
While spending time in Morocco's Essaouira area, a visit to the Ramparts is a must for your itinerary. They were built in 1760 by French architect Theodore Cornut as a way to protect the port from piracy. For a small entry fee, you can explore this fascinating site that still features intact cannons from the 18th century.
Il Mare Restaurant, Café and Bar
Spending a legendary evening at Il Mare Restaurant, Café and Bar is the perfect way to wrap up your Morocco itinerary of 7 days.
