The moment you enter Morocco you feel like you’ve ended up in a fairy tale. It seems like 1001 Arabian Nights are real and Aladdin could sweep by on his carpet. Morocco is a great choice if you want to experience something completely different.
The people are friendly, you’ll find beautiful mosaics everywhere, and don’t get us started on all the fresh herbs and spices. To this day the smell of mint takes us back to Rabat where you can’t turn a corner without walking into a cart with fresh mint.
Visit the imperial cities, spend a night in the desert and enjoy the local cuisine.
A Tourist Visa is not required for stays under 90 days. Your passport needs to be valid for at least another 6 months. Make sure that your passport is stamped when you arrive in Morocco, as you may have difficulty leaving the country if your passport does not bear an entry stamp.

We start our journey through Morocco in Casablanca. We just spent a day here and explored the city and tried the local food. By train, we traveled to Rabat where we spend 4 days exploring the city. We hopped back on the train and headed to Fes, where we visited the open-air tannery and wandered around in the medina.
Because there was some miscommunication around our car rental we hopped back on the train to Marrakech. We spent about a week exploring Marrakech and we took a day trip to the Cascades d’Ouzoud. If you have time you could add a trip to the desert as well.
