Marrakech (capital)
A warm and inviting blend of European, African, and Arab culture, Marrakech is a melting pot of foods, art, architecture, and belief. Mosques, churches, markets, and restaurants define this amazing capital.
Agadir (258km from Marrakech)
The coastal city of Agadir can be found at the edge of the Atlas Mountains. It’s a popular resort town, with all the hotels, bars, restaurants, and golf clubs to go with the title.
Fes (530 km from Marrakech)

This amazing city can be found in the Rif Mountains, and it’s most famous for its blue-washed buildings which fill up every corner of its old town. Chaouen has some of the best leather and weaving shops you’ll find.

Best time to visit
It’s best to visit Morocco when it’s not too hot and not too cold. That means a trip to Morocco in spring or autumn is ideal. These seasons are dry, but not with that awful desert heat, and they have a lovely sea breeze that keeps any hot days at bay.
So, your best months for visiting Morocco are certainly March to May or September and October. This is also off-peak season, so your flights will be a little cheaper, too!
