Dive deeper:

To truly experience Morocco, venture off the beaten path. Visit the Ouzoud Waterfalls, an unspoiled natural wonder, or explore the Draa Valley, a less-visited region dotted with ancient kasbahs.

You might also explore the desert with a camel trek to witness the vastness of the Sahara and its ever-shifting sands.

Good to know:

The currency used is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). Morocco enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, making it a year-round destination. However, the summer months can be intensely hot in desert areas, so plan accordingly. Public transport is widely available, with buses, taxis, and trains connecting major cities. For the most authentic experience, take the time to walk through local markets and interact with artisans.
