Casablanca

The capital of Morocco, Casablanca is a dazzling coastal gem. While many people pass it over in favor of more popular Moroccan destinations, those who do stop here will be pleasantly surprised to discover a bustling cultural hub with an impressive history and some mouthwatering restaurants. Learn more about the city with a guided tour or excursion that explores its top sights and attractions.

The most iconic site in Casablanca is the Hassan II Mosque, which stands as a symbol of Moroccan architecture and culture. The massive structure is an architectural marvel, and the soaring minaret is one of the highest in the world. Join a tour to learn more about the mosque’s fascinating history and admire its elaborate details.

Casablanca also has a vibrant nightlife and entertainment scene, so take a guided evening tour to experience the city as it comes alive after sunset. See the Old Medina, wander through bustling markets, and take in the lively atmosphere as locals and visitors alike come together to enjoy the evening.

Foodies will love a Casablanca culinary adventure or cooking class. During these tours, you will meet a local chef who will teach you how to prepare traditional Moroccan dishes like couscous, tagine, and more. The tour may start with a trip to the market, where you can buy the fresh ingredients for your meal. Once you’re back at the cooking studio, your expert chef will demonstrate how to prepare the dish while you watch.

Other fun tours and excursions in Casablanca include a wine tasting excursion or a stroll through the UNESCO-listed medina of Chefchaouen. The blue-shaded houses of this city are stunning, and the winding alleyways are perfect for photo ops. Explore the Museum of Moroccan Judaism to learn more about the Jewish history of Morocco.

Morocco is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is from September through June when temperatures are moderate and less crowded. The hottest month is July, so make sure to pack plenty of sun protection and bring extra water to avoid heat exhaustion.

Essaouira

The seaside town of Essaouira is a must-see on any Morocco Tours. Wander the walls of the old medina, admire the artfully carved thuja woodwork in the medina’s souks, and sample seafood at one of the many restaurants. Unlike the sweltering cities in Morocco, Essaouira has a strong coastal wind that makes it very pleasant during summer. It was also historically a multicultural city, and the gates of the medina display the Islamic Crescent, Star of David and Scallop of Santiago, symbolising the city’s religious tolerance.

If you want to get a true sense of Morocco’s culture, you should visit one of its traditional souks. These open-air markets look like a maze of stalls with countless products and smells to discover. The best one is located just outside the main gate of the old medina, Bab Doukala. The market is held every day but the best time to go is on Sunday when it’s a bit busier.

Essaouira’s sandy beach is a beautiful place to relax. There are a variety of cafes where you can enjoy a Moroccan tea while watching the boats come in and out of the port. Alternatively, you can try your hand at horse riding or surfing on the windy beaches. There are also a number of equestrian schools that can provide you with lessons for a modest price.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can explore the sand dunes of Essaouira on an ATV. This is a great way to see the coast and you’ll also get a unique perspective of the city. You can find a reputable company by searching on the internet.

Those looking for a more relaxed trip can take advantage of the Route du Sud, or South Road, a seven-night adventure with Abercrombie Kent. This trip from Marrakesh to Dar Ahlam includes a stay in a mountain hideaway, visits to the argan tree valley of Azrarag and the ancient granary of Timlinline, and camping beneath the High Atlas Mountains. It’s an unforgettable experience!

Whether you’re dreaming of Lawrence of Arabia-style adventures or simply looking to sample some classic Maghreb hospitality, a Morocco tour is an ideal choice. It’s a place where tagines are spiked with saffron and argan oil, carpet merchants haggle in the souks, and Berber tribesmen herd goats on the slopes of the High Atlas Mountains.

Ait Ben Haddou

This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once an important stop on the caravan routes of Morocco. It’s a fascinating place, and its history spans millennia. While you can see the awe-inspiring sights of Ait Ben Haddou on a day trip, it’s better to stay overnight and take your time exploring the village.

You’ll be picked up from your accommodation in Marrakech and taken over the Atlas Mountains to Ait Ben Haddou via Kasbah Telouet. You’ll then tour the Ksar (fortified village) with your guide and learn about the caravan route that it was built along. Ait Ben Haddou was a major trade town, bringing in gold and silver from the Sudan in exchange for salt from the Sahara. But with its wealth came danger, and it was necessary to build defensive walls to protect the traders.

Ait Ben Haddou is a very special place and one that you’ll never forget. It’s easy to get distracted by its movie star appeal, but the authenticity of the village and its history makes it well worth a visit.

While you’re there, be sure to check out the ancient granaries. They would have held grain, but also served as a way to defend the village if attacked. You can also walk through the old streets and climb to the top of the hill for a spectacular view of the surrounding area.

There are no entrance fees for entering Ait Ben Haddou, but if you want to visit museums or attractions within the village, there may be an entry fee. Also, it’s best to visit Ait Ben Haddou during the cooler hours of the morning and afternoon.

If you’re looking for a unique and authentic experience, consider joining a guided tour to Ait Ben Haddou. It’s a great way to save time and money while still getting a chance to see this famous village. And if you haven’t seen it yet, chances are you will have soon! You’ll find this picturesque location in a wide variety of popular films, including Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, and Game of Thrones.
