Marrakech
Day trips from Marrakech to the coastal cities of Essaouira and Agadir, as well as a potential for high Atlas.
Hiking spots in the High Atlas, such as Ourika Valley and Imlil, are the most popular day outings. Climbing
and summiting North Africa’s tallest peak and trekking around Morocco’s most frequented national park
are options for adventurous travelers.
Ouzoud waterfulls are Morocco’s tallest and one of the country’s most spectacular natural wonders. Since
the surrounding thuya forest is a birder’s paradise. The High Atlas is home to Alpine choughs, blue jays,
golden eagles, alpine accentors, Atlas beach larks warblers, and rock sparrows.
Ait Ben Haddou, the most impressive kasbah in Morocco. This crumbling series of six joined kasbahs and
nearly 50 palaces has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
