Morocco - attractions and practical information. What to see in Morocco?
Morocco is a wonderful country that delighted us every step of the way. It can also be tiring, because it is noisy and extremely lively in places. It is a place with an extremely diverse character: it combines idyllic desert landscapes with extremely energetic and dynamic cities, as well as offering high and snowy Atlas Mountains and a pleasant ocean coast. That's why it's great for both a short city break and a longer detour. We chose the latter and in 7 days we drove 1700 km from south to north to discover as many Moroccan gems as possible. If you are planning a trip to this part of Africa, check out our guide to Morocco with the most beautiful attractions and practical information!
Morocco experiences. What to see in Morocco? Map of the best tourist attractions!
Morocco is a pretty big country, so it's certainly hard to get to know it all in one trip. However, we managed to see a lot during our 7-day stay. We drove 1700 km and visited, in our opinion, the most important and beautiful attractions, including such tourist hits as Sahara, Shafshawan or Ait bin Haddu from Gladiator! Unfortunately, there was no time for ravines, which I regret, but the charm of Morocco made up for all the sorrows. It is a wonderful country with beautifully decorated cities, magnificent gates and clay fortresses. These sandy landscapes were loved by filmmakers, so it's no wonder that they captivated and delighted us every step of the way. Here are Morocco's top attractions!
Marrakech - a vibrant red city with an energetic medina
I don't think there is a tourist who would miss Marrakesh in Morocco. This energetic city is the quintessence of the country. Stunning and tiring at the same time. It is difficult to describe, you have to feel and experience it. It's worth it, after all, it's UNESCO! The most important and most significant here is the Medina, or the Old Town closed with walls stretching for 19 km. The walls have a characteristic color, which is why Marrakech is sometimes called the red city. It's beautiful here, but also extremely chaotic. Wonderful decorations, mosaics, but also the ford of the market and motorcycles wanting to run you over in narrow streets! It is best to come here early in the morning, when the bitches are still closed. Other valuable places include the Bab Agnaou Gate or, of course, Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, a specific Marrakech market. It is the largest market on the continent. Your heart hurts a little when you see animals on display during the day. Apparently, poisonous teeth are extracted from cobras, and monkeys dressed in dresses are kept on chains and transported in tight cages. We preferred to take a picture with the water carrier. Apparently, this is the oldest profession in this country. In the background, you can already see the Koutoubia Mosque, followed by the Lalla Hasna Park. It is worth visiting the paid Bahia Palace (100 dirhams, PLN 39, extremely ornate). The Secret Garden, which is at the same price, pays slightly less. It is said that the Majorelle gardens outside the center are more beautiful. And we recommend the Madrasah of Ali ibn Yusuf, or the Koranic school. 20 dirhams is a reasonable price for this miracle!
Ksar Ait Bin Haddu - a Berber pearl of UNESCO. The Clay City from Gladiator!
We had to break through the picturesque Atlas Mountains with a pass over 2,000 m above sea level to reach this unusual Berber settlement in the color of the surrounding sands. This is ksar Ajt Bin Haddu, or the clay city. One of the most beautiful, because from the UNESCO List! This is where Gladiator, Game of Thrones and other movies were filmed! Here you can recognize Zucchabar, the market where Maximus came as a slave, or Ibelin, where Balian from the Kingdom of Heaven fought against water shortages! No wonder, the view is truly breathtaking, and the architecture is completely unusual. When you cross the bridge, it's like you've traveled back in time. There is no color here other than the color of the earth. The building material is moist clay mixed with straw. It looks phenomenal, and a walk here is a magical experience! The town once lay on the route of caravans from deep Africa to Marrakech. Today, there are still people living here, but only a few families, because most of them live opposite, in a modern town. The most impressive are the so-called cassettes. They resemble clay castles with towers. Want to follow in the footsteps of the stars? It's possible here!
Sahara - Merzouga Camp. Desert tour to Erg Chebbi dunes
The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert! It is 30 times bigger than Poland! Of course, when you stand on it, you only see a tiny bit of it, and yet you feel like “dust and air,” according to a quote from Gladiator. Once you get to the sands, you can't see anything but them. The wind smashes the grains like a river. And you are standing in this wilderness and you cannot get out of the wonder of creation! Our adventure with the Sahara began in Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here we were scheduled to ride camels to the campsite, where we had dinner and slept in tents at Merzouga Luxury Camp. In the morning, we returned by jeep to our car. However, the trip to the camp went a little differently. I will describe the details elsewhere. In the end, everything went great and the memories will stay with us forever! We lived the sunset and sunrise in the desert and walked on camels, which was an unearthly experience, and in addition we saw a lake in the desert, tents of real nomads and we had a guest 5-course dinner in the camp. I recommend it from the heart! The whole cost was PLN 410 per person - PLN 275 for attractions and PLN 135 per night.
Fez - the green spiritual capital of Morocco! 9,000 streets!
Why green? Because it is the color of Islam and green is a significant element of this city, founded in the 8th century. Fez is not only one of the oldest cities in Morocco, it is also extremely atmospheric and unique. The medina here is huge, has 9,000 streets and resembles a large, colorful market. It's easy to get lost here! Tanners hid among these walls. They are accompanied by a real smell, eliminated by mint leaves. We went to the oldest and most noble, Chouar's Tannery. It is an important element of the city. In addition, it is worth seeing the Blue Gate of Bab Bou Jeloud, on the one hand it is actually blue, on the other green. The Karawijjin University - one of the oldest in the world - is extremely valuable. It dates back to the 9th century. Nearby, she hid Medresa Al Attarine - a very decorative Quranic school available for visiting for 20 dirhams. The country is famous for its magnificent courtyards, where the artistry of Moroccan craftsmanship intimidates. Magnificent mosaics, stuccoes and wooden ornaments are of the highest flight. This can also be seen in the Palace of El Glaoui. Once it was a beautiful and extremely impressive and modern residence, today it is a bit neglected, but it still makes a big impression (20 dirhams). Maristan Sidi Frej - the world's oldest psychiatric hospital from the 13th century - was also lost in the medina.
Shafshawan (Chefchaouen) - the blue city of Morocco!
It's probably the most beautiful city we've ever seen. The fame of the blue city of Shafshawan (Chefchaouen) has already reached many, so it is better to visit it in the morning when there are few tourists. Anyway, later on, the residents decorate the alleys with colorful hats, which looks extremely cute, but they want to charge for the photos. Why is this city so special? In the 15th century, it became a refuge for Muslim and Jewish refugees from Spain, who gave it an Andalusian character. Probably that is why the city was closed to Christians for a long time. And this blue color is a Jewish tradition, so they painted houses as a symbol of heaven and God. But this color is also supposed to repel mosquitoes and optically cool narrow streets. And today it attracts tourists. It's a real magnet! The main place here is Pigeon Square. It is the heart of the medina with a mosque with an octagonal minaret and a clay case, which you can enter behind the ticket and see a nice view of the city. But this place does not impress with the blue color, it has spilled over the narrow streets, walls of houses and stairs, which looks captivating. Behind the waterfall, from the hill by the white mosque, you will experience the beautiful panorama of Shafshawan. Do not miss this city, although it lies in the north, because it steals the heart!
Tetuan - the white town of Morocco!
There was a blue city, a green city, even a red city. It's time for white. This colour dominates the Tetuans in the north of Morocco. You can feel the Mediterranean vibe here, because it was the capital of the Spanish protectorate. Today, Morocco is ruled by King Muhammad VI of the dynasty that has ruled the country since the 17th century. He has one of his official residences in the Tetun palace. And behind the palace, you enter the medina inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the knots on the right side of the square, you will find exclusive goods, including jewelry. But it is enough to go to the other side of the square for more "traditional" stalls to appear. The local medina is kept in an impeccable white color, and it is decorated with green doors and gates. This repeatability of colors is somewhat soothing and there is no such chaos as in Marrakech or Fez. Here, too, you can see the best Andalusian accents of the city, such as colorful pots and flowers. People have time here to talk, to walk slowly between the stalls, or to gruelingly picking at wood or arranging vegetables. There is also no rush in restaurants, where you can spend up to 2 hours.
Warzazat - the film city behind the Atlas Mountains
Warzazat is the cinematic center of Morocco, located east of Marrakech. When you go to the desert, you have them on the way. The Atlas film studio, one of the largest in the world, operates here! And next to it, a large clay fortress grows on the sands. But it's just a fallacy. It is one of the largest film sets ever built. Are you familiar with the movie Kingdom of Heaven? She played Jerusalem in this film by Ridley Scott. There is also a cinema museum in the city, where you can see various exhibits. And Kazba Taourirt - a real clay fortress, available for 20 dirhams - rises in front of the cinema. The stronghold reportedly had 300 rooms, including a harem. Speaking of which, theoretically, a Moroccan can have up to 4 wives nowadays, but this is extremely rare. According to the law, he must have the consent of the first of them and a special permission from the court. In practice, more than 99% are monogamous marriages.
Amridil clay kasba - the most beautiful monument on the Way of the Thousand Kazb!
When leaving Warzazat, it is worth stopping at Kazba Amridil, also for 20 dirhams. Is this the most beautiful and best preserved clay castle on the "Way of the Thousand Kazb"? It was built in the 17th century and was an important point on the caravan route connecting the Sahara with Marrakech. Kazba is really beautiful, located in a green oasis of palm trees and commemorated on the former 50 dirham banknote. This living museum has remained in the hands of the same Nasiri family since the very beginning of its existence. Inside you can see authentic tools, old olive presses, a bread oven and solutions related to the traditional irrigation of the oasis, used here for hundreds of years. The labyrinths of the corridors were used as scenes for the iconic "Ali Baba and 40 Robbers" or "Lawrence of Arabia".
Solar Noor Complex - how to make good use of the sun of Africa?
We met such a curiosity on the way to the Sahara. This structure is visible from many kilometers, as if a glowing lantern. This is the Solar Noor Complex - one of the largest solar energy complexes in the world. This is called making good use of the desert and its sun. The construction of this facility began in 2013. Together with the mirrors on the ground, it covers the area of 3,500 football pitches and provides electricity for more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, or about 5% of Morocco's energy demand.
First time over the Ocean! Ba Kacem beach near Tangier
They always magnetize for the first time, and we survived a lot of them in Morocco. Africa for the first time, a large desert for the first time, a camel for the first time and finally the first time over the Ocean! The beautiful and sandy Ba Hangover Beach (Plage Bakassem) on the Atlantic Ocean is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. In the warm rays of the tilting sun, the walk was delicious. Camels looked beautiful, quads were a little less charming. However, there is enough space to accommodate all those willing. A moment to remember! Ba Kacem Beach is located to the west of Tangier Airport. At the beach you will find free parking. The approximate geographical coordinates are: 35°47'15"N and 5°53'40"W (35.7875, -5.8944).
Agafay Desert. Our only disappointment in Morocco!
From Marrakech to the Sahara is about 600 km and 9 hours drive. If you don't have that much, then about 30 km south of this city there is another Agafay desert. It is such a substitute, although it is not a typical sandy, more undulating, gravel-rocky. In the spring, it turned a little green. You can get a little bit of that vibe here. There are camels, but also quads. Unfortunately, the commercial has hit hard, but you can make an interesting trip here for the sunset. However, I will not hide that it was a disappointment for us and we did not spend much time here. First of all, because of the camels, which were tightly and briefly tied. They couldn't even take a step. They were probably a live advertisement visible from the street. Later, in the great desert, we did not encounter this practice.
Other attractions in Morocco. Recommended trips to places we didn't reach
- The Atlas Mountains with the highest peak in Morocco (Tubkal 4167 m above sea level), we saw snow-capped peaks only from a car when we broke through them with a pass over 2,000 m high on the way to Ait Bin Haddu
- Todra Gorge - a delightful gorge with high rocks, perfect for trekking
- Dades Gorge - formed by the Dades River, in the middle there is an asphalt road among high rocks
- Meknes - one of the imperial cities of Morocco, very atmospheric
- Volubilis - the best preserved Roman archaeological site in Morocco, inscribed on the UNESCO list. It functioned in the 1st-3rd centuries AD as the capital of the Roman province. It lies near Meknes
- Casablanca with Hassan II Mosque - a popular resort and business center
- Discount - Moroccan capital, tidy and clean
- Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech
A corner of practical information before a trip to Morocco!
Morocco is a country quite foreign to us when it comes to culture and customs as well as religion. In addition, people have completely different habits and costumes there. This is not the European Union, so it is best to buy the Internet on the spot, for example. Therefore, it is worth preparing for the trip to avoid unpleasant surprises. Here are some practical tips and information that are sure to come in handy and help you plan your trip to Morocco! Practical info on a tray:
Location & Directions. Flight to Morocco from Poland (Agadir and Tangier)
Morocco is located in northwestern Africa, on the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Its location makes it one of the most easily accessible African countries from Europe. From Poland, it is most convenient to fly here by plane, as low-cost flights are available. You can fly to Marrakech or Agadir in the south. We chose the combined option because we wanted both attractions in the south and in the north of the country. Our 3 big dreams were Sahara in the east, Ait Bin Haddu in the south and Shafshawan in the north. Having a week and starting and ending in Agadir, we would not be able to see everything. Therefore, we flew to Morocco on the Visegrad lines from Katowice to Agadir, which took about 4.5 hours, and planned even 5 hours. We were returning from Tangier in the north. There was no direct connection to Katowice via wizzair, so we flew through Barcelona. To Barcelona with AirArabia, and then to Katowice with Wizzair. We flew to Barcelona for about 2 hours and had a longer break there, during which we walked around this Spanish city.
The entire combined return flight cost us PLN 535 per person (PLN 200 from Katowice to Agadir, PLN 85 from Tangier to Barcelona and PLN 250 from Barcelona to Katowice). We bought 1 priority bag separately. The trip took place at the turn of March and April 2026.
Where to sleep? Accommodation in Morocco
Visiting Morocco in 6 people, we slept in different nights, every day elsewhere. Their prices were not exorbitant and ranged from 130 to 450 PLN for 2 people per night. Marrakech was the most expensive, but also by far the most beautiful. Only 2 nights this week were without breakfast. We slept in the riads twice: in Marrakech and in Shafshawan. Dishes are usually more expensive accommodation options, but they are beautiful, clustered around the inner courtyard with a skylight in the roof. Dishes are usually very unique and colorful, intricately painted and decorated with wood as if with a lace. The rooms have windows overlooking not the medina, but the courtyards, making it much quieter and cooler on hot days. Sometimes there are also restaurants in the riads. I must also admit that while Moroccans know how to decorate, the technical idea lags behind. There was almost no bathroom during the trip, in which something would not leak, and you can dream of a shower cabin. It's either fabric curtains or just a headset throwing water at the center of the bathroom. There are squeegees for the floor and the matter is settled!
Here are our accommodations in Morocco, all of which we booked on Booking well in advance, but with the possibility of cancelling almost to the last minute. We paid some at home before leaving, some on the spot. In the Sahara, the whole thing had to be paid in cash on arrival.
Marrakech Riad Bayti
The most beautiful riad we slept in, but visiting restaurants later we saw even more beautiful. Everything was fine here, beautiful accommodation, great rooms and good, private bathrooms. In the evening, there was a place to sit together in a group. In the morning, breakfast was included (in Morocco, it is served mainly sweet). As in other medina buildings, you can feel a little musty in the rooms. As it is a medina, we had to leave the car somewhere else and walk
Warzazat Residence Chay appartement de luxe
A modern accommodation in which the apartment had rooms, a living room, a shared bathroom and a kitchen. It was comfortable, although the sink was outside the bathroom. There is a restaurant where breakfast was included in the morning. This accommodation also offered a car park under the building.
Sahara Merzouga Luxury Camp
It's a camp in the Sahara. You sleep in luxury tents, we had a 2-person version, with its own bathroom in the tent. It was cold, but the quilts were very warm. There was wifi and electricity. It was possible to charge the equipment. Breakfast and dinner were held in a shared large tent
Fez Dar Houda
This is probably the weakest accommodation in terms of comfort and appearance, but the owners were very nice. There was a living room and 2 rooms, but the spa lounge was not burdensome, as the lounge sofas in Morocco are unfolded, hard and narrow. In addition, there was no shared bathroom in the living room, only 2 bathrooms in the rooms. We were offered a dinner here for 120 dirhams per person, including selected tagine and toppings. She was full. As it was a medina, we had to leave the car somewhere else and walk.
Shafshawan Riad Dar El Fanne
It was riad, so again it was very tasteful, although it was quite a modest, small object. We had our own room and our own bathroom. Breakfast was included in the price on the terrace, which is on the roof and gave a nice panorama of the city. The car had to be left elsewhere again and walked. Also large luggage in Morocco is not welcome!
Tanger Appart Hicham
It is an apartment on the estate, but quite comfortable and modern, with a living room, 2 rooms, a shared bathroom and a kitchen. The car park was included in the price. We didn't spend much time here because we got up very early in the morning to catch the morning flight in Tangier.
Moroccan cuisine, what and where to eat? Restaurants in Morocco

Morocco sweeps in terms of food. Moroccan cuisine is all about colors and smells, it just hits all the senses. It's one of the best national cuisines we've ever tasted. There is an interesting balance between sweetness and spiciness. Spices such as saffron, cumin or cinnamon and turmeric give the dishes an unusual taste. Everywhere in Morocco you will find mint tea, to which Moroccans add large amounts of sugar. Fortunately, it's usually served separately, but it's worth noting when ordering that it's sugar-free if that's what you want. In addition, almost every restaurant serves local cuisine. Simple but very tasty dishes, including tajin, which the country is famous for. This clay "fireplace" hides a variety of meat, vegetarian, combined dishes, whichever you want. The soups are definitely worth tasting - a thick tomato soup with beans or lentils. The main meals in restaurants are served with local bread and olives, usually in a salty or hot version. Sometimes there is also sweetness on the table in the form of dates. At the fair, however, it is worth asking, because sometimes they ask you to pay extra for such additions added to the table separately. In restaurants, it was usually not possible to pay with a card. Tipping is usually arbitrary. We were only asked once to tip a specific amount.
Here are the Moroccan restaurants we tried ourselves. We searched on Google according to ratings and prices, and of course according to the current location and needs:
Marrakech: Beldi fusion kitchen Bahia restaurant - located in front of the Bahia Palace, we recommend it because the place is beautiful and tasty, with colorful and fragrant Moroccan cuisine, which you can easily find in every city and province. Here, for the first time, the waiter gave us a demonstration of pouring their national mint tea.
Ajt Bin Haddu: Tanmirt Restaurant - one of several restaurants on the main road, next to the parking lot. We can recommend this place because the food was tasty, traditional Moroccan cuisine. They even offer camel meat, but it was unavailable. There were sausages, salads and, of course, mint tea, but also cola, fresh juices, coffee, as everywhere
Warzazat: Chay Restaurant - was located next to our apartment. Both the accommodation and the restaurant met our expectations, although this place is quite modern, more European than traditional Moroccan. Of course, you could get local cuisine, but there were also burgers, etc.
Fez: Palais Fes Yahya restaurant - the place in the form of dishes is beautiful and quite hidden. The dish consisting of soup, tajines, fruit, olives, bread and tea cost 150 dirhams (PLN 59). The waiting time is quite long, it is such a peaceful tasting of subsequent dishes. We were sitting on the roof terrace, it was nice and tasty
Tetuan: Dar La Médina Tetawen - a place worth recommending. It's again a riad that also offers accommodation. The whole is concentrated around a beautiful courtyard. These dishes appeal to my taste, it's like entering the world of a fairy tale. Therefore, waiting for a meal does not take much time in such an interior. And we ate the sacraments here again. This time, Łukasz got the best, he had kofta, the taste was just delicious, so I stole a little from him. And finally, I received a small gift from the owner - a souvenir leather purse. A very nice gesture. And how not to fall in love with Morocco!
Szafszawan: Bar Oum Rabie - in this city I would choose a more interesting place, which is not lacking, but it stopped at this bar because the boys wanted beer or wine, and this is the only place in this city where you could buy alcohol. But the food was very tasty, but you can smoke there and it was eagerly used. The fact is that there is a problem with alcohol in Morocco. It can be purchased only in selected stores, e.g. in larger Carrefour stores, but also only until around 7.30 pm. Alcohol is also rarely found in restaurants, and it is more expensive than in Poland.

Do they speak English in Morocco? Safety and attracting tourists
It is different with English in Morocco, I would even say poorly. In the provinces, it's already at all, and in the cities, if you happen to find it. In the nights we booked during booking, contact in English was usually possible. However, far more people speak French here. Also, if you are only English-speaking, you may have trouble getting along in some places. We helped each other with translators in some places.
Is it safe and do the locals accost tourists? We did not encounter any dangerous situation during our week-long stay, or even an unpleasant one, but when it comes to picking on, yes, they do. The more popular and touristy the place, the more they solicit. It's usually enough to say "No, thank you You" and it's over. It happens that someone is more pushy, pushy, then you have to say it several times and even bluntly.
In general, everyone there recognized our European, and in fact even Polish, beauty. A lot of people asked if we were Poles. They immediately greeted us with the slogan "Good morning". In Marrakech, there were many more Polish slogans at the market: "Okay, good beaver soup". And many others. Famous names appeared, such as Mr. Makłowicz, Mrs. Gessler, Lewandowski and so on. There is also another problem that is worth paying attention to. Namely, a lot of people bothered us and wanted to lead us to the attractions. You have to be very careful about this, because firstly, they do not always lead well, and secondly, they very often expect money for it. And here's a tip. If they persuade you very much, speak to them in your own language, i.e. Polish or even in a dialect, in incomprehensible sentences. Then they let go faster. That's what the locals recommended.
What costume for Morocco?
Women in Morocco were dressed from head to toe, with headscarves on. Not all, but many such women we met. Their whole faces weren't covered, but their hair was. The men, in turn, had characteristic coats, also long, with hoods with tips. It looks very cute. The smaller the town and the closer to the desert, the more such outfits there were. These are the Berbers, the oldest people of Morocco. But even in the medinas of the largest cities, this is what the inhabitants looked like. We tourists should also take care of appropriate clothing. According to their culture and religion, knees and shoulders should be covered. It is worth keeping it, especially in places important to them. In large cities, on the other hand, not everyone complies. There, short shorts are more in place and short sleeves. But there were also tourists in tops, although I would rather avoid such an outfit, certainly in March, when you can calmly endure in a less modest outfit. In the off-season, evenings and mornings are cool, and in the desert even very cold, so it's worth having a warmer sweatshirt or even a jacket. There is also rainfall, although we have not had a drop of rain for a week. We were lucky with the sun and warmth.
Moroccan currency - dirhams. Card payment, exchange, withdrawal and prices. Bargaining
The currency in Morocco is the MAD Moroccan dirham. Such a simple currency converter on a daily basis is 10 dirhams = 1 Euro. In this way, you can easily calculate the amount. Of course, the exact conversion rate is different - 10 dirhams is about 0.92 Euro. Dirhams are hard to get in Poland. They can be found in large cities, but in smaller ones it is rather impossible. So it's worth taking the Euro to Morocco. Money can be exchanged at exchange offices or withdrawn at ATMs (there are various commissions, usually several Euros). In larger cities, you can find both.
When it comes to paying by card. It's different and quite difficult. In restaurants, it's usually not possible to pay with a card. There are such places, mainly chain stores, but most of them require cash. They also often expect cash for accommodation. In chain stores, you can pay with a card. It was different at gas stations. It is worth asking earlier, because it happens that it is possible to pay by card.
It's worth knowing that haggling in Morocco is something natural. It is also good to set the price in advance and clearly indicate it, because later prices may really appear from the ceiling. And any amount you pay is too low. But this applies mainly to bazaars, squares or taxis.
Sample product prices in Morocco
Litre of oil: 14.60 dirhams (PLN 5.72)
Litre of petrol: 15.63 dirhams (PLN 6.12)
Dish in the restaurant: about 80-120 dirhams (about PLN 30-55)
Mint tea in the restaurant: about 20 dirhams (PLN 8)
Fresh orange juice: about 40 dirhams (PLN 16)
Espresso or americano at the restaurant: about 25 dirhams
Ticket prices for attractions: usually 20 dirhams (PLN 8)
Internet in Morocco
Morocco is not in the European Union, which is why there are no cheap connections or the Internet with our domestic operators. That is why there are various operators' stands at the airport, including Orange. We bought Internet access from a local Inwi operator. It was an eSim card (without changing the card, you set it for us on the spot). We paid 10 euros for unlimited Internet for 7 days. The Internet worked well, there were disappearances in several places, but in Albania and Georgia it was also normal.
Roads in Morocco. Refueling
The roads in Morocco are pretty good. There is asphalt almost everywhere. In the north, they were actually slightly worse in some places than in the south in the mountains, because there were new roads. Moroccans drive quite well on the main roads, but when you enter the city, it gets chaotic, crowded and you have to be really careful. In general, there are a lot of police and roadside checks all over the country. It is worth following the rules, because it is easy to get a ticket. Fuel is slightly cheaper than here. A liter of oil is 14.60 dirhams (PLN 5.72, 2026) and a liter of gasoline is 15.63 dirhams (PLN 6.12)
When to fly to Morocco? Temperatures and weather in spring in Morocco
When it comes to temperatures, we came at the turn of March and April and it was probably a very good choice. Ramadan was already over, which is also worth paying attention to, because then the restaurants are closed during the day. However, even before the season, when the temperatures are quite pleasant and there are not so many crowds. During the day it is warm, even very warm, you could even walk in a short sleeve, while in the evenings and at night it is cold, especially in the desert. It's cold out there. Also in the overnight stays, because there are thick walls and small windows. It is also cold, but there was often air conditioning.
And such general impressions, if you can, plan this country, because Morocco has charmed us. And very strongly. It's stunning, it can be tiring, but it's really worth seeing at least once in your life.
