In the surrounding areas of Marrakech and the centre of the country, the nature is absolutely spectacular. Sportsmen and adventurers have the opportunity to really enjoy roaming these beautiful landscapes by foot!

Walks in the centre of Morocco

If there is a place that sums up the incredible diversity and richness of the beautiful country of Morocco, it is certainly the countless markets called souks.  You will dive into the unforgettable atmosphere and you will find everything imaginable and more.

Morocco's incredible souks

Today, Morocco has a worldwide reputation for its numerous cultural and principally musical festivals. It's a great occasion to discover the artistic riches of the country during a trip to Morocco.

Morocco is world famous for its imperial cities. Every day, tourists from the four corners of the earth tour round the incredible palaces and gardens in these unique places. A breath taking visit in the heart of Morocco's history.

Morocco's superb imperial cities

It's without doubt the most touristy town in Morocco, thanks to its amazing souk and the immense Jema El Fna Square.

Africa

Salaam alaikoum! When we think of Morocco, it is the buzzing and colourful souks, filled with the scent of exotic spices that spring to mind. We conjure up images of magnificent palaces, lush gardens and white, sandy beaches that stretch far into the horizon. But there is more to Morocco; a depth that goes beyond its beauty and colour. There is its soul, a heart that beats not only in the bazaars but also across its lands, all there for you to discover as you immerse yourself in the daily lives of its people. By meeting these people and by enjoying their hospitality during your stay, you will see Morocco and its inhabitants unveil the hidden treasures that lie at the core of their culture. From its four royal cities to the misty ramparts of Essaouira, from hiking and trekking across the countryside (be it in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains or on a camel’s back in the Sahara), wonders await you, no matter what your choice of holiday may be.

During the day, Tinghir is literally crushed by the heat of the sun. I advise you to wander through Tinghir in the evening instead. It's the most refreshing time of the day and you will be able to better appreciate the scenery. Especially as the city is very small. This will only make your walk even faster. I thought that the two main arteries running through Tinghir were quite pleasant with their terraces and the large public garden situated in the city centre. The only spectacular monument in Tinghir is the old kasbah of Cheikh Bassou Ou Ali. He lived here in the 1930s, his kasbah at that time was one of the most beautiful homes in the area. A truly charming home. The kasbah of Basou Ou Ali has incidentally now become a chain hotel. The original rooms have been preserved and still feature their pale pink walls. I suggest that you do venture into this old kasbah, the new owners allow pretty much anybody to visit the public areas which display objects made from local crafts and there is a nice collection of the region's Ksour models

During my <a href="/morocco/">trip to Morocco</a>, after seeing Erg Chebbi's dunes, I took a bus from Erfoud to Tinghir where, not surprisingly, the bus driver's cousin's cousin was waiting for us.
Off to the hotel. During the evening we talked and drank beer with the young gay manager and his friends, who were very friendly, and we ate a traditional tagine in one of the restaurants in this big village.
The next day we set off for the Todgha Gorge, about 12 km away. You can get there in any taxi and mock the tourists in the air conditioned coaches! The scenery around Tinghir is splendid, with its palm trees set in the midst of red mountains. Afterwards you can join the crowd to get on a bus for Boumaine in the Dades valley.

If you want to visit the Todgha Gorge you need to stay the night in Tinghir, in the Middle Atlas.

Visit the desert to enjoy camel rides, sand boarding, quad biking and an overnight stay in a traditional camp, with a meal cooked on a fire under the star-studded night sky. The capital; <a data-place-id="758" data-internal-link="place">Marrakech</a>, is the perfect place to explore as a family. Parents will be able to enjoy the rich history&nbsp;and architecture, while&nbsp;children or teenagers can enjoy a vast range of activities&nbsp;which will ensure that they will never get bored, such as ziplining for older children or donkey rides for younger travellers.&nbsp;There are so many parks and other attractions within the city, such as the ‘Terres d’Amanar’ which offers fun, sports, and activities.&nbsp;Discover hidden gems, traditional tea shops, restaurants, and fantastic souvenirs in the Old Quarter,&nbsp;or enjoy a classic meal of Tagine and Couscous before sampling some pastries from the local market that can be found in the main square. For sporty families, The Atlantic Coast offers a range of water and wind sports, such as surfing and kite surfing. <a data-place-id="759" data-internal-link="place">Essaouira</a> is a great choice of location, since it offers great beaches and interesting ramparts along the coast for kids to explore. Horse riding in Essaouira&nbsp;is also a great option for the whole family, where families can ride along the beach or through the forest. Camel riding is also sure to please everyone, from the youngest children to teenagers. The best place for family hiking and walking is The Atlas Mountains, which are home to incredible scenery, waterfalls, and a range of easy and harder trails for hikers to follow. <h3>Best time to visit Morocco as a family</h3>Knowing <a data-document-id="6919" data-internal-link="article">when to travel to Morocco</a> is fairly easy as the weather in Morocco is fantastic all year round, and even in the middle of winter you’ll be pleasantly surprised by warm days and nights. In the desert, the days remain warm throughout the year but during the winter the desert nights can become very chilly. If you are planning to camp overnight in the desert between November and February, bring extra clothes to compensate for the chill. The summer months here can reach scorching temperatures, making it too hot for exploration during the midday heat and meaning that you are better off staying near the coast, where temperatures are much more bearable and you and your family can relax in the shade of a palm and go for a dip in the sea or a quick surf to cool off. <h3>Family holiday tips for travelling to&nbsp;Morocco</h3>With a little research and knowledge you can ensure that you are as prepared as possible for your family trip to Morocco, here a few tips and tricks to ensure that everything runs smoothly on your holiday. <ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Sites here can be quite far apart and there isn’t really any way to avoid long drives to get from a to b. Make sure you pack plenty of entertainment for kids and teenagers as well as travel sickness medication if your children struggle with long journeys. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas where pickpockets are rife. Keep cash and any important documents in a safe a hidden place. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">If you visit any religious sites, dress appropriately, with women and girls needing to cover their heads. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Try to avoid drinking tap water where possible, to reduce the risk of catching any stomach bugs which can quickly ruin a perfect family trip. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Keep small change on you to tip at local cafés and restaurants. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Learn a few key phrases.

<a href="https://www.evaneos.co.uk/morocco/" data-mce-href="https://www.evaneos.co.uk/morocco/"></a><a data-destination-id="7" data-internal-link="destination">Morocco</a> is the land of colour and life and there is no better place to spend a one week holiday than exploring the winding streets of its cities, the vast dunes of its deserts or the warm waters of its beaches. Whether you’re after an adventurous trip or a chance to relax and treat yourself, you won’t be disappointed by your time here and you’ll be looking forward to your next trip as soon as your 7 days are over. <h3>Best things to see and do for one week in Morocco</h3>What to see in one week A one week itinerary in Morocco has to start with a visit to the capital city of Marrakech. Here you can wander freely through narrow and ancient streets and be met with an immersive experience into Moroccan life and culture, from the smells, sights, tastes and sense of history that you will come across. Explore medinas, palaces and mosques before stopping to grab a bite to eat or some souvenirs in a ‘souk’ or market. Casablanca is another must see city, with classic architecture and an incredible atmosphere that you will come to love as you relax in the warm sun or explore the stunning neighbourhoods here. Visit the Hassan II Mosque while you’re there, which is located right on the waterfront, for a spectacular sight. Next, move on the the famous blue city of Chefchaouen, where you will be able to enjoy restaurants, bars and hotels set into a background that is almost entirely painted a vibrant blue colour. To see some of Morocco’s interesting history visit Ouarzazate and climb up to the Taourirt Kasbah Palace, seeing carpet makers and traditional houses along the way. From the top, if it’s a clear day, you will be able to enjoy views of the High Atlas Mountains. <h4>What to do in one week</h4>There is no shortage of activities to choose from on a week long trip to Morocco and you’ll find something to suit everyone’s needs. Explore Tangier, with its cafés and medinas, perfect for relaxed sightseeing. For the more active visitors, why not try windsurfing in the world famous windsurf spot at Essaouira? Surfing is also a popular choice, since the waters are warm and the conditions perfect. Head to Taghazout for the perfect introduction to this sport and incredible surf for seasoned pros too. Agadir is known for its golf courses and you’ll love playing in the warm sun until to evening, when you can enjoy a sunset over the course. Lastly, why not go off the beaten track on a trip to the desert? You can explore on camelback, by jeep or even by quad bike before spending the night in a specially designed desert camp complete with traditional food cooked over a barbeque and traditional music played by a bedouin band. Merzouga is the perfect place to enjoy sand dunes as well as the desert lake, Srji Lake with its array of birdlife. <h3>Best time to travel to Morocco for a week</h3>Morocco’s climate makes it the perfect place to spend 7 days, no matter what time of year you come. Visiting during winter means cooler weather but you’ll still be able to enjoy the sunshine as you see the sites or even enjoy the coast. During the warmer summer months the weather can become very hot and you may have to limit sightseeing to the cooler mornings or evenings. If you’re after a beach holiday then the summer is the best time to visit and despite larger crowds and slightly higher prices, you’ll love swimming in the warm waters and relaxing in the hot sunny climate. <a data-document-id="6919" data-internal-link="article">Whenever you decide to visit Morocco</a>, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable time in this stunning destination.
