Destination Morocco
Learn more about Morocco, a country of great wealth, which despite European colonial rule and modern cities, has a unique cultural past.
Discover Morocco
For Westerners, Morocco maintains an immediate and lasting fascination. Despite being just an hour's ferry ride from Spain, the visitor has the impression of being far from Europe, immersed in an Islamic and profoundly traditional culture. Throughout the country, despite the years of French and Spanish colonial rule and the presence of modern and cosmopolitan cities such as Rabat and Casablanca, it is possible to feel the presence of a more distant past.
Fez, perhaps the most beautiful of all Arab cities, still maintains a life rooted in medieval times, when a Moroccan kingdom extended from Senegal to northern Spain, while in the Atlas and Rif mountains, it is still possible to draw up tribal maps of the Berber population. As a backdrop to all this, the country's geographical composition is extraordinary: from the Mediterranean coast, across four mountain ranges, to the sandy vastness of the Sahara.
Touristic spots
Casablanca
What to do in Casablanca
- The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca has the tallest minaret (tower from which daily calls to prayer are announced) in the world, 210 meters high, in addition to its beautiful architecture and can be a beautiful walk around the city.
rabat
Things to do in Rabat
- The Mausoleum of Mohamed V is a majestic building built entirely of Italian marble, with the meticulous work of Moroccan artisans, an architecture that catches the eye in Rabat.
- Those interested in immersing themselves in the history and culture of the Moroccan people can visit the ruins of the Chella Necropolis, an ancient Phoenician and Roman settlement built in 1339.
Marrakesh
What to do in Marrakech
- A visit to the souks, the markets of Marrakech is undoubtedly a lively tour. In the souks you can find a little bit of everything: spices, clothes and scarves, and also Moroccan handicrafts. The fun here is due to the tradition of negotiating with the merchant the price of the product offered, a practice required by the local culture.
- Surrounded by olive trees, the Menara gardens are perfect for an outdoor stroll. Built in the 22nd century, the site has a monument to soldiers and a central pool with hundreds of fish.
- The most famous site in Marrakech, the Koutoubia Mosque was built in the 12th century and is a beautiful example of Almohad architecture that draws attention for its pinkish sandstone construction, typical of the city.
Best time to go to Morocco
The ideal is to plan a visit to southern Morocco - or at least the desert routes - outside of summer, when most of the day is too hot for activities. Between July and August, the hottest months, it can be wonderful to visit the coastal region, while in the mountains there are no rules.
Spring, which comes between April and May, is perhaps the best season, with pleasant weather both in the south and in the mountains and on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
During the peak summer months (between June and August), the weather can get brutally hot, especially in Marrakech, Fez, and the southwestern region of the country. The farther south you go, the closer to the Sahara desert. Another reason to avoid the summer months is that it coincides with the European summer, when the number of visitors to Morocco increases.
The most comfortable time to visit the Sahara desert is during fall or early spring, avoiding the parched landscapes, scorching summer temperatures, and freezing winter nighttime temperatures.
