What to see: my tips

- The imperial cities (Fèz, Meknes, Marrakech, Rabat), Essaouira, le gole del Todra, Ait Ben Haddou, e le dune di Merzouga

 - Visit it in winter : the desert landscapes with the snow in the background are magnificent !! Spring temperatures and zero clouds (only advice: check that the riads where you book have heating!). The other time I was there in August and shooting with 40 ° is not for everyone .. if you have low blood pressure .. forget it!

- Food: beyond the classicons (harira, tajine, brochette and cous cous) taste the fried sardines from the stalls you find on the street, they will become a drug!

- Fez: also visit Fèz El Jadid, smaller but perhaps more authentic than Fez El bali. There is the old royal palace, the ghetto with its Jewish cemetery and a very beautiful park. It is also worth going to see the sunset over the medina from the tombs of the Merenides


- Chefchauen: getting lost in the alleys of the blue city is priceless! It is a town that requires relaxation


- Volubilis: an ancient Roman city that still has incredible mosaics

- the high Atlas and the deserts between Ouarzazate and El Rachidia: the most beautiful landscapes. You go from pines, to snow, to the desert in a few hours

Where to sleep in Morocco

Where to eat

Fèz: the Café O'Clock is a very nice place; on several levels and with a terrace, it offers excellent breakfasts, lunches and dinners. They also organize cultural evenings and events Chefchaouen:

  • Restaurant Chez Fuad (derb Chàbu) in the medina, without a sign, ask the locals! There is only the cook, Fuad, who offers genuine and good cuisine. The wait is worth the meal!
  • Restaurant Hotel Aladdin: has a super terrace overlooking the whole of Chefchaouen
  • Restaurant Beldi Bab Ssour in the Kherrazin district. It is located inside the medina. He has no address: to find it ask the locals. Here I ate the best harira in all of Morocco!

Essaouira: the Restaurant Dar Loubane (24, Rue de Rif) is a typical restaurant in an internal garden run by a very friendly French couple. It is good and serves traditional Moroccan cuisine Marrakech:  I fell in love with Cafè Restaurant Le Jardin and Cafè Restaurant Nomad so much that I went back at least 2/3 times! They are both with terrace and / or garden, perfect for all meals. They serve you lunch while you sunbathe comfortably lying down. The best in town!
