This is without a doubt the first question that every potential traveler (and car renter) in Morocco has. You can breathe a sigh of relief, because the answer is: absolutely. Certainly if you stay away from the big cities like Marrakesh and Casablanca you won’t ever feel unsafe on the road. However, it must be said that some drivers would …
We already know that the garden was created by Jacques Majorelle and was later maintained by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé. But… How did it all start? Jacques Majorelle was a Frenchman and an artist. In his early years, he painted a lot and he regularly went to faraway places to get inspired. After his military service he left …
Along the article, you can also find my favorite tours from GetYourGuide. I used them to book my tour from Marrakech to Essaouira and many other (day) trips in Morocco. They’re easy to use and book with and you can cancel every tour up to 24 hours in advance. From Marrakech you have several ways to travel to Essaouira. …
The port city of Tangier is currently in full growth. A local told me that there were officially around one million inhabitants, but in fact that number had already risen to three million! Just outside the city center, Tangier is booming at rapid pace, and therefore hundreds of new neighborhoods shoot from the ground like mushrooms. I concentrated more on the city …

Or do you want to take an organised trip from Marrakech? I’ll help you with my 3 day itinerary, whatever your choice is! Sleeping in is not included in this three-day excursion! At half past …
There are plenty of things to see in Marrakech, but the Jemaa El-Fnaa square is undoubtedly one of the most famous squares in this city and thus not to be missed. This market is located very central in Marrakech, and there is something to see at any time of the day. During the day, dozens of stalls are attracting …
In the middle of the medina you’ll find Naranj. A great restaurant with a beautiful interior, incredibly friendly service and delicious food. There are around five dishes on the menu, and they all made me drool! In addition, there is a whole range of (non-alcoholic) cocktails, nice drinks and original desserts. This restaurant is slightly more expensive than what you …
It may sound strange in an article about the best restaurants in Fez, but I didn’t find the food in Palais Amani exceptionally good… For a two-course menu (main course and dessert) and a 7UP I paid €25 ($28). That’s a lot of money. That’s a looooot of money in Morocco, where you can usually eat for less than €10. The food …
