If you have 7 days to explore Morocco you can expand your trip to include a couple of regions, allowing for a mixture of imperial cities, the desert, Atlantic coast, or the High Atlas Mountains.

A week in Morocco allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture by spending a few more days in Fes or Marrakech to take a cooking class, or visit local artisan workshops for ceramics, weaving, or leather goods. For an active trip, consider flying into Marrakech and spending a few days exploring the desert before hiking through rural villages in the High Atlas mountains, spending the night with a local family. Travelers who don't mind changing locations most nights can complete a quick loop including Casablanca, Fes, the Desert, and Marrakech.

Dar Al Andalous - Riad

Beautiful riad in the Medina. Our room was spacious, comfortable and authentic. Breakfast and dinner were fabulous. Most importantly were the services provided by the manager and staff - professional, friendly, great suggestions on activities. This riad was definitely a highlight of our stay in Fes.

Inevitably, there were long car rides, and Faisal broke them up with interesting stops that highlighted local history and commerce. We had local guides in several cities, and in the aggregate, they were excellent.

Our guide, Souhel, gave us a wide range of Moroccan foods we hadn't had anywhere else, showing us the kitchens in the Medina as they were cooking, and explained the processes involved. His choices were all tasty and authentic. Souhel was more than just a good guide and historian, he was a true ambassador of Marrakech and Morocco.

Our driver Abdul was amazing - kind, courteous, funny and he always had a huge smile on his face - it was a delight to see him every day. We felt very safe and cared for on our tour and communication was good. We had some confusion with a hotel booking but it was quickly rectified. Abdul also went out of his way to take one of us for medical treatment when needed. The organiser, Majid, kept us up to date and communicated well. As for Morocco - I cannot recommend seeing this stunning country enough - the people are so very kind, caring and only want the best for anyone visiting. The food was always delicious and fresh. The shopping was fun and exciting. The landscapes are beautiful and varied from the commanding Atlas Mountains to the sunny shores of Casablanca to the narrow, blue lane ways of Chefchaoun. I will never forget my trip to Morocco and I will definitely be coming back.

Hotel Review
Dar Laman
Chefchaouen

My favourite hotel on my trip to Morocco. The location is wonderful, close to the heart of Chefchaouen and all it's shopping, dining and the main square. The aesthetics of the hotel was on point and the rooms were a dream to look at. It truly made us feel a sense of whimsy and delight with bright colours and detailed finishings used. The food was absolutely delicious as we had breakfast each day and a dinner one night overlooking Chefchaouen. I will definitely return to this hotel - the staff were kind, caring and very attentive to our needs.
