4 to 5 days in Morocco - May 2007
Any recommendations on where to go & what to see in reasonable safety?
Also, any recommendations on where to stay at fair value for money? I'm thinking Casablanca is one place we should go. Anything from someone who has been there /done that would be very much appreciated. Thanks & regards, Andrew |

Thanks & regards, Andrew Leave Casablanca alone, I've just been in Morocco for a couple of weeks and Casablanca is the last place I would go. My suggestions a 1) Marrakech (2 days) 2) Fes (1 full day) 3) ...what are you looking for? Desert or open spaces maybe? Or just cities? g. |

Depends from where you are starting.
From marrakech- you can go to the desert in Merzouga from Tangiers, go to Fes check out tour on www.bluemenofmorocco.com to get an idea of places you can visit and time E.

Casablanca is definitively not the place to start if you don't know Morrocco. In May, it can be already quite hot, but the imperial cities (Marrakech, Fe and Meknes) are worth a look, and at least you could visit two of them easily. You can also take the option of the coast, starting from Oualidia and then Essaouira and finishing in the area around Agadir (Agadir itself is awful, but all around it's wonderful) Third option, if you don't fear heat, is the deep south and the desert, you can make a nice tour but then you have to land and leave from ouarzazate. The transfer Ouarzazate Marrakech is too long for you planned number of days. -- Marie-Aude www.oasisdemezgarne.com www.ayour.org |

Anything from someone who has been there /done that would be very much appreciated. If you only have 4-5 days don't try to see too many places. The most rewarding aspect of visiting Morocco is the atmosphere rather than any particular sight. Go to Marrakech or Fes, and spend 4-5 days just exploring the "medina" (old city) and "souks" (market street), going down side streets, and getting lost. I would recommend you stick to one place rather than waste half a day traveling, but see both Marrakech and Fes if you prefer. Casablanca is the one place you definitely should not waste any time on in a short visit. If you are killing time there before your flight, visit the Hassan Mosque. Don't go to Tangier either (the movie Casablanca was actually about the city of Tangier, but the Tangier of today is a dump, and much less interesting than the rest of Morocco). |

Hi, I'm from Morrocco,Tangier and my job deals with tourism.If you plan to visit the south of Morrocco,i would recommend Meknes,Fes and Marrakech but the south is not recommended during the summer time.If you prefer a mild climat then i would recommend the north(any time of the year) of the country,Tangier,Asilah and Rabat.Your visit will be surely a new and different experience comparing with the other visitors.I wish you a good visit and welcome to Morrocco.For any other informations please don't hesitate. -- Merrouch |
