Morocco Travel guide
Morocco : Michelin's recommendations
Morocco is blessed with a huge variety of dazzlingly beautiful landscapes, from the Rif and High Atlas mountains to the Haouz Plain, and from sandy Atlantic beaches to arid lands in the south, not to mention the Valley of Roses east of Ouarzazate!
The wealth of flora and fauna here are given special protection, particularly in the nature reserves at Toubkal (south of Marrakech), in the eastern High Atlas and at Ifrane. As for the desert, it is far more lively than you might think with its scores of animals including dromedaries, golden jackals, striped hyenas, hedgehogs, gazelles and all kinds of lizards, snakes and pleasant insects like scorpions.
To reach the more remote areas, where the most magnificent sites are located (like the Chigaga sand dunes and the Erg Chebbi desert), you will need a suitable vehicle such as a 4x4. But you can take a "different" kind of tour of the area - on a camel or horseback trek, or even hiking (in the Mgoun massif for instance).
Surfing buffs will enjoy the breakers on the Atlantic Coast year round. And the coast at Essaouira is famous for its waves and very windy beaches.
Morocco is a special place where the light, colours, scents and the people's noble character was so fascinating to Delacroix. It is also worth visiting for its palaces surrounded by gardens, souks, and medinas with tightly packed houses.
