Places most travelers never see
Ten places most travelers never see — far from the usual routes.
Moulouya Gorges, near Midelt
An abandoned mining village clinging to the cliffs of the Moulouya gorges — one of Morocco's most haunting forgotten corners.
Middle Atlas, near Taza
Cedar and cork oak forests, spring wildflowers and the vast Friouato cave, hidden in the Middle Atlas near Taza.
Tafilalt Oasis, near Rissani
The remains of the great caravan city of the Tafilalt, once the gateway between the Sahara and the Mediterranean world.
High Atlas Mountains
One of the highest villages in Morocco, where Amazigh mountain life follows the rhythm of the seasons.
Eastern High Atlas
Two mountain lakes born from a love story, and a legendary end-of-summer festival in the heart of the High Atlas.
Anti-Atlas Mountains
Pink granite boulders, almond blossoms and quiet Amazigh villages in the heart of the Anti-Atlas.
Eastern Morocco, by the Algerian Border
One of Morocco's oldest and most remote oases: tens of thousands of palm trees and historic ksour at the country's eastern edge.
Middle Atlas
A red city on the Oum Er-Rbia River, heartland of the Zayane and gateway to springs, lakes and cedar forests.
Middle Atlas, near Azrou and Ifrane
Centuries-old Atlas cedars and the endangered Barbary macaque, in one of the largest cedar forests in the world.
Between Taroudant and Ouarzazate
The saffron capital of Morocco, where purple crocus fields bloom for a few precious weeks each autumn.
