June 5, 2019 Read time - 2 minutes Whether you're climbing the dunes of the Sahara Desert, trekking the Atlas Mountains, or bartering in the markets of Marrakech, Morocco is a journey into a different world. Landscapes remain untouched and the ancient cities retain centuries-old customs. Best places to visit in Morocco 1: The Djemaa el Fna of Marrakech This market has everything you'd expect, and more. A must-see when visiting Marrakech; there are stalls at every turn, acrobats and jugglers rubbing shoulders with storytellers, and the aroma of the food stalls fills the air overhead. Spectators fight for space to take it all in. The central square of Djemaa el-Fna in Marrakech is the heart and soul of Morocco. Djemaa el Fna 2: Getting lost in the Medina of Fez Often regarded as the cultural, spiritual and intellectual heartland of Morocco, these ancient walls contain a labyrinth of alleyways and tiny craft shops. From the smell of African spices to the distant whiff of the famous tanneries, there's a surprise around every corner. Medina of Fez 3: Indulge in Atlantic serenity Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast is a perfectly proportioned Portuguese fishing port complete with shuttered cottages, artisan workshops, seafood delicacies and whitewashed beauty. It's the perfect place to wind down after a day's activities. Essaouira port 4: Sunrise in the Sahara Waking in the dark and heading out into the chilly night for a climb up the sand dunes is worth the effort to see the spectacular sunrise over the golden sand of the Sahara Desert. Sahara Desert 5: Trekking the Atlas Mountains The extraordinary Atlas Mountains are an essential part of any visit to Morocco.
