Morocco Travel Journal

Morocco travel, unfiltered.

Guides, itineraries, and slow-travel essays from our team of local specialists. Real advice — the kind we give friends before their first trip.

Marrakech: A First-Timer's Playbook

Souks, palaces, and hidden riads — the 48-hour route that gets you past the tourist-lane medina and into the real city.

A walking guide to Morocco's bluest city — where to wander, what to photograph, and the spots locals actually eat.

Two very different deserts. Honest tradeoffs on dunes, drive time, crowd levels, and where to camp under the best stars.

The itinerary we recommend most — a balanced loop through Fes, the Atlas, Merzouga, and Marrakech without the burnout.

From easy half-day walks out of Imlil to the Toubkal summit push — plus how to visit Berber homes the right way.

The Atlantic escape Moroccans keep for themselves — fresh grilled sardines, ramparts at sunset, and the best kitesurfing in Africa.
