Bonjour,
Nous sommes un groupe d'amis et partons au mois de novembre pour Nador, 4 jours. Nous n'avons que le vol, que pouvez vous nous recommander de sympa? (disposés à louer une voiture et bouger)
Merci vos reponses, bonne soirée a tous
pour la ville elle meme a part le souk ould mimoun pour faire des achat je voie rien
avec tou les traveaux meme la corniche es en reamenagement
ta a a 7kl de nador ves melilia le cap des tri fourche le phare cherana et si tu aime les belle plages tu est servie
la baie dela plage kariat akermane la plage boucana ainsi de suite
entre nous, 4 jours à Nador en novembre, y'aura pas grand chose à faire.
par contre, loue vite une voiture ou un 4X4 et vas te promener à 200 KM à la ronde. tu trouveras quelques beaux endroits prés d'un barrage, quelques souks authentiques (même si celui de NADOR vaut le coup aussi), vas chez l'habitant pour découvrir le vrai Maroc, et déguste un vrai couscous ou une vraie tajine. Et lui t'emmenera vers de merveilleux endroits.

Salam alikom, a chaque fois ou j'ai attéris a Nador on es venu me chercher en plus j'habite dans la ville ou se trouve l'aéroport a 2km (Arouit) qui fait parti de la banlieu sud de Nador, le mieux serai que tu fasse connaissance avec des gens de la région de Nador (rifain)dans l'avion pour vous mettre d'accord et partager les frais de taxi collectif pour te rendre a Nador, sinon si tu peut te faire déposer dans le centre ville d' Arouit c'est encor mieux et du centre, là ou se trouve les taxis tu prend ta place pour 8 dihram (env 80 cents) .
Pour aller sur Nador au départ de l'aéroport il te demande 200 dihram (20 euros) voir plus mais je pense que tu peux negocier
En ce qui concerne Melilla entre le port et la plage tu a un grand complexe qui s'appelle "puerto deportivo" ou se trouve plein de Pub et discothèque mais attention si tu est un peu bazané, on aime pas trop les marocains sauf si ca a changé depuis......(Melilla se trouve a 13km au nord de Nador et 35 km de l'aéroport de Nador)
La population de Melilla parle uniquement espagnol et rifain (dialect de la région de Nador)si tu pratique uniquement l'arabe et le français ça risque d'étre chaud......
voici quelque lien sur Melilla http://www.melillaturismo.com/pubs.htm
en voila un autre en français http://www.melillaturismo.com/frances/index.html
Si tu as besoin d'autre information n'hesite pas a me demander a plus
bonsoir
mois ce que je te propose c'est une evasion sur fes à 300km par bus la CTM capagnie sur et cofortable le voyage se passe tjrs le soir et comme ca vous pouvez profiter de la journee*

Autant prendre directement un vol de Marseille vers Fes au lieu d'attérir sur Nador et payer encor le car pour faire 330 km ......
On te parle de la ville et région de Nador pas de Fes🤪
merci rif38 je paserais un jour a nador et 1 a mellila tas pas de bon plan hotel pas chere a nador et combien pour une nuit a mellila
Pour ce qui est des hotels a Nador ou a Melilla je ne serai te conseiller car j'habite pas loin de ces villes et je n'ai jamais eu l'utilité de me renseigner,
Mais je sais qu'a Nador tu as beaucoup d'hotel de plusieurs categories, chaque hotel a ses tarifs.....
pour Melilla j'en connais un qui se trouve en face du complexe puerto deportivo l'hotel s'appele HotelMelillaPuerto mais ça a l'air d'un hotel de luxe sinon demande directement en arrivant dans la ville de Melilla.....
A plus dit moi tu es marocain d'origine ????
Petite info ils y'a eut de grave innondation dans la ville de Melilla, Nador et sa région ces dernières semaines aux point que des personnes ont annulés leurs vols car les membres de leur famille ne pouvait pas se rendre en voiture a l'aéroport, les rues de la villes de Nador ressemblaient a une Venise Marocaine....
dernièrement j'ai eut mon cousin a Nador qui me disait que cela s'était calmé.
Ces fortes pluie sont inhabituelle a Nador qui est plutot une ville ensoleillé hiver comme été, avec des températures trés agréable toute l'année.
sinon les beaux coins a voir sont le mont Gourougou avec de superbe balade en quad ou a chevaux en foret qui domine la ville de Nador se renseigner chez AZZAIFUN un Francais qui a monter un complexe avec des bungalows en location qui se trouve sur la route de Gourougou juste aprés le complexe touristique du Mont vert;
pour y acceder en voiture du centre ville de Nador remonter le grand boulevard qui part de la futur gare ferroviaire ONCF en direction de la ville de ZEGHANGAN (boulevard qui est en paralèlle avec la futur ligne ferroviaire arrivé dans la ville de Zeghangan la traverser jusqu'a la sorti de la ville jusqu'a l'intersection en forme de pied d'oie prendre sur la droite et remonter jusqu'a la rocade mediterranéenne, une fois arrivé a la rocade prendre la direction d'Al Hoceima et a environ 5km vous trouverez la direction du Mont Gourougou sur la droite avec les 2 complexes touristiques dont j'ai cité plus haut.
Autre beau lieu a voir c'est le Cap des trois Fourches ;
de Nador prendre la direction de Melilla, Beni Ensar, et Port de Nador la route est une 2x2 voies jusqu'a la ville de Beni Ensar, arrivé a dans celle ville vous trouverez un grand rond point (attention la police y sont souvent)continué toujour tout droit sur la 2x2voies toujour en direction de Melilla et du port de Nador, vous allez arrivez sur intersection, il faudra prendre sur la gauche en direction de Beni Chiker et Farkhana monté sur cette route moyenement goudronné en traversant les villages cités jusqu'au cap des 3 fourches n'hésité pas a demander si les panneau d'indication ont été supprimer car pour ma part ca fait plusieur année que je n'y suis pas retourné et du Cap des 3 fourches vous auriez de belle ballade et une vue splendide sur la grande bleue du hauts des montagnes du rif tombe a pic dans la mer (beaucoup d'espagnols de Melilla y montent en 4x4 les week end pour y pique niquer. route moyennement pratiquable
Dans le cadre de mon travail, je part la semaine prochaine à Casablanca. J'aurai donc 4 soirées de " libre ". Que me conseillez-vous pour essayer d'avoir un…
Nous allons passer par Dakhla au mois d'Août (nous arriverons de Mauritanie) et nous souhaiterions savoir ce qu'il y a à faire dans ce coin et surtout les prix…
Si vous êtes dans la région d'Essaouira sous la pluie et si vous vous demandez quoi faire, rien de mieux que de prendre la petite route qui mène à Ida Ougoud,…
À la veille d'un départ au Maroc pour quelques mois, je me pose des questions à propos de ma voiture. En effet, je descends en voiture, ma voiture peut rester…
Du 3 au 12 juin, je pars en trek, j'arriverai à Marrakech vers le 20 mai. Merci de me donner des tuyaux sur un itinéraire de 15 jours dans des endroits sympas,…
Hello,
In September, my wife and I, along with another couple, will be traveling to Tunisia and staying at the Sheherasade Hotel near Sousse.
We’d love to hear your recommendations or tips on places to visit, as well as advice on taxis or other transportation options.
Thanks in advance!
We're planning a 2-week trip in late February/early March for a road trip in the High Atlas with a rental car, and we'd love to avoid booking our accommodations in advance. Is that doable, easily manageable, or risky (are accommodations available, expensive, or not great)? Thanks for your tips!
Annie
This autumn’s trip should be in Morocco—barring any geopolitical issues between now and then.
After many trips to the south of Fès, I’m giving the north a try.
My plan is roughly to do a road trip loop from Rabat back to Rabat, passing through Asilah, Tangier, Tétouan, Chefchaouen, Akchour, Fès, Meknès, and Volubilis.
That’s a lot of cities.
Probably a bit too many for our taste—we usually prefer more isolated spots...
So I’m looking for tips on little backroads, secluded beaches, half-day hikes, and offbeat places.
If you’ve also got recommendations for accommodation... (We’re open to splurging over 100 € if it’s a real favorite.)
Feel free to think outside the box—this is an open-ended plan! !😉
Hello,
I’m looking for testimonials from Pieds-Noirs who have recently returned to Algeria.
There can’t be many left after 65 years of the country’s independence.
I’m planning to go back myself soon to reconnect with my roots... before I pass away...
I’ve started making a few pre-bookings for hotels and apartments to rent in Algiers. At first, I received friendly and welcoming responses. Then, when I mentioned I wanted to stay for two or three weeks—maybe even a month—explaining that my trip wouldn’t be strictly touristy but more of a pilgrimage to the places of my childhood, and that it would likely be a very emotional journey, I expected a positive and warm reaction to my approach. Instead, I suddenly stopped getting replies from the three or four people I’d contacted. So now I’m wondering about the reception former Pieds-Noirs can expect...
Anyone here who can share their experience of returning? I specified “recently” because it seems that right now, diplomatic relations between the two governments are extremely tense, not to say hostile... even if Macron claims otherwise...
Hello,
I’m traveling to Algeria from October 27 to November 16, 2026.
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through the process about the accommodation attestation required for the visa application:
- Does it need to cover the entire duration of the trip?
- Is this document mandatory for a hotel to rent a room?
- Is it checked during inspections?
- Is a hotel booking (e.g., via Booking.com) sufficient for the visa?
- If so, does it need to be paid in advance?
I plan to visit several cities and do one or more treks with a guide or agency.
If you have any contacts you’d recommend, I’d be grateful!
Also, I’d love to share this trip with a companion who’s already done some traveling.
We’d organize the journey together, of course.
Thanks for your feedback!
Safe travels to all,
Dom, Dijon, 64 years old
I’m leaving for Tunisia in five weeks for a full 15-day trip. I’ll be arriving in Monastir and departing from there as well.
I’d like to do a route that’s a bit different from my first stay, which was more focused on cities and culture (Tunis, Sousse, Kairouan, El Jem).
I’ll be getting around by public transport.
I’d like to head south toward Tozeur, and I saw that you can take a *louage* from Monastir to Sbeitla (2h30). I imagine it’s not too complicated to get to Tozeur from there afterward? The issue is the return trip to Monastir and safety in Sbeitla.
If this route seems too complicated, I might opt for Djerba instead, which looks simpler.
I’m heading to Morocco in September 2026, and part of my trip takes me through Merzouga. I’m looking for a 4x4 driver-guide to explore the area with my partner and me.
Even though I come to Morocco four times a year, it’s been a long time since I’ve made the trip by car. I need to refresh my knowledge! I’ll be traveling in early October. I have a car that’s about 20 years old. The plan is to cross via Algeciras/Ceuta.
A few questions:
1) Does this crossing still exist? If so, do I need to buy the ticket in advance or on the spot? From whom? Any advice is welcome!
2) What documents are required for the car?
3) If anyone is making the trip around the same time, it could be fun to drive together 😊
Hi there,
I’m looking for some friendly recommendations for places to stay in Marrakech for 3 nights in June 2026.
In the meantime, have a great day, everyone! Thanks so much in advance.
I’m reaching out to gather your thoughts on an itinerary (10 days... or more?) I’d like to do at the beginning of June 🙂.
Just so you know, I’m planning to do this trip solo (25 years old), using only public transport and just a backpack. I’ve already been to Marrakech and climbed Mount Toubkal two years ago...
I’ll be arriving in Tangier.
Day 1-2: Explore the city center, hike around Cap Spartel...
Day 3: Stop in Tetouan
Day 4-5-6: Chefchaouen and a day hike in the Rif Mountains
Day 6-7: Discover the city of Fes (I’ve heard so many great things!!)
Day 8: Stop in Meknes and possibly visit the historic site of Volubilis
Day 9-10: Rabat (I’ve heard mixed things... some good, some bad)
After that, I have the choice of heading back to Tangier for my return flight... or going down to Agadir (also a possible return flight) and extending my trip by 5 days :)
From what I can tell, everything is well connected by bus (CTM) or train (ONCF).
Another question: Is the vibe in Moroccan youth hostels for meeting people the same as what you’d find in Western Europe?
Thanks in advance for your replies and your kindness! 😊
Tickets for entry to Majorelle Garden are only issued online via an official site
(though there are fraudulent sites out there). On the official site, they ask for legitimate info
(name, nationality, etc.). What made me go "hmm" was the request for both an email address
AND a password (with confirmation). Is this normal?
Thanks for your replies.
Hi there, a group of girlfriends and I are heading to Tunisia. We’d love to know how much cash we should bring for 6 days, considering everything’s already paid for at the hotel. Thanks for your tips!
I’m finalizing the loop I’d like to do in May over 13 days, starting and ending in Essaouira.
We’re planning to rent a vehicle and are pretty active—we’re not really into crowds (that’s why I’ve decided to skip Marrakech).
Here’s my proposed itinerary:
Trip Proposal Summary:
From May 13 (morning arrival) to May 26 (morning departure)
Arrival and departure: Essaouira
Day 1 (May 13): Arrival in Essaouira – Settling in / Exploring / Rest
Day 2 (May 14): Essaouira – Water activities
Day 3 (May 15): Essaouira to Tafraoute (~5h30) – route via Agadir – arrival and first exploration; Question: Is a detour to Taroudant worth considering?
Day 4 (May 16): Tafraoute – Hike in the granite rocks – wild bivouac
Day 5 (May 17): Tafraoute – Aït Mansour gorges – oasis – night in a hostel
Day 6 (May 18): Tafraoute → Foum Zguid (~5h) – transition route – simple overnight or bivouac
Day 7 (May 19): Foum Zguid → Zagora (~3h) – Draa Valley – desert prep
Day 8 (May 20): Zagora → M'Hamid El Ghizlane → Erg Chigaga – departure with 4x4 guide – entering the dunes – bivouac
Day 9 (May 21): Erg Chigaga – full desert day – walking, exploring – bivouac
Day 10 (May 22): Desert → Ouarzazate (~5–6h) – leaving the desert – rest
Day 11 (May 23): Aït Benhaddou – early visit – short hike – overnight stay
Day 12 (May 24): Aït Benhaddou → Telouet – route toward the Atlas – start of trek – bivouac
Day 13 (May 25): Atlas → Essaouira (~5–6h) – end of trek – return to Essaouira (overnight)
Day 14 (May 26): Essaouira – free time + return flight
What do you think?
I aimed for an excursion to the Chigaga desert from M’Hamid because it seems less touristy and allows for a more compact loop. Is that a good idea? Is the drive to M’Hamid maybe too tedious?
Open to your great tips if there’s room for optimization!
A lot of people find it important to stick to their budget when traveling—not to skimp, but to visit as many places as possible since traveling is their hobby.
In this post, I want to share some tips for those coming to Morocco who want their trip to be budget-friendly.
1. Prebook everything: hotels or riads, car rentals, or tours. If you book these in advance, it’ll make your life easier. You won’t have to deal with hagglers or people trying to overcharge you for services that are available online for free. Use platforms like Booking, Expedia, carsrental.ma, Airbnb, and other booking services to get this done properly.
2. Exchange your money to Moroccan dirhams as soon as you land. 1 € is always a little over 10 dirhams, but many people get charged as if it were exactly 10 dirhams per euro.
3. When visiting an old site or the old medina, avoid talking to vendors and shop owners—they’re really good at getting your attention and making you overpay for things.
4. Ask your tour guide to buy things for you. Yes, they do get a commission, but you’ll probably pay way more if you buy something yourself that they can get cheaply.
5. Walk everywhere. You don’t need a taxi for every little trip. Pick a good location and walk—most Moroccan cities are safe during normal hours.
6. Buy your food, drinks, etc., from supermarkets at normal prices. They can’t overcharge you since they scan every product.
Hi everyone! 😊
We’re traveling as a family to Marrakech from April 19 to 24, and there’ll be 15 of us (all ages), staying in the Targa neighborhood (El Idrissi Street).
I’d love your advice on a few things! 🙏
🚗 Vehicle rental
We’re thinking of renting 3 cars. We’ve seen really low prices online, but often without insurance.
👉 Do you have any reliable contacts or personal experiences to share?
👉 Would you recommend getting specific “tourist” insurance?
🏛️ Visits – Bahia Palace & Saadian Tombs
We’d like to visit the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, but:
We can’t find single tickets online
We only see guided tours with fixed times (like 9:30 AM / 4-hour tours)
👉 Do you know if it’s possible to book without a guide?
👉 Or do we have to buy tickets on-site? (We’re a little worried about crowds and lines, especially with older folks in the group.)
🍽️ Restaurants / meals
We’ve spotted the Grand Bazaar Marrakech for a meal.
👉 Any thoughts?
👉 Could you recommend other restaurants in the same budget? (We’re a big group, so it needs to stay reasonable.)
For lunch/snacks, we’ve seen:
Snack Toubkal
Goûter Saveur
👉 If anyone’s been, I’d love your feedback! 😊
🛒 Practical info – Targa neighborhood
We’ll be in Targa (El Idrissi Street).
👉 Are there shops nearby for quick groceries (breakfast, water, etc.)?
If you’ve got any great tips, contacts, or little tricks, I’d love to hear them! 😍
Thanks so much for your help! 💖
We’re heading to Morocco as a family from April 22 to May 8. It’s a bit short to explore such a beautiful and vast country, but school and work commitments, you know how it is...
My partner is a musician and absolutely loves Gnawa music.
Unfortunately, we won’t have time to visit Essaouira, as we’re heading south toward the Valley of the Roses...
Do you know of any places around Marrakech, Ouarzazate, or Kelaat M’Gouna where we might have the chance to meet Gnawa musicians?
We’ll also be staying a few days in Aït Benhaddou and Skoura during our trip toward the Dadès Valley.
If you have any good spots to buy a guembri along the way, I’d love to hear about them too! :)
Mid-May: arriving alone (so, a "petit taxi"?) at Marrakech airport around 4:30 PM,
is it advisable to take a taxi at the airport (cost?) or is it wiser to book one through the hotel before departure (which would cost me 20 €)?
I think I’ve seen lower fares elsewhere (12 €?).
Destination: Riad Sijane near Djemaa El Fna square. Thanks!
I’m planning my next trip outside Europe for next year, but unfortunately, I don’t have a choice with the dates—it’s late June to early July. Last year, I went to Japan for three weeks, and it was constantly 36-37°C with over 90% humidity. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible either.
For Egypt, I know it’s a period to avoid if possible, but I’m thinking that by the sea, it might be manageable. Otherwise, I’ll consider another destination.
Day 1: Arrival in Hurghada in the evening
Day 2, 3, 4: Hurghada
Day 5: Hurghada, then drive to Luxor in the early afternoon
Day 6: Luxor
Day 7: Luxor, then drive back to Hurghada in the late afternoon
Day 8, 9, 10, 11: Hurghada
Day 12: Return flight
For the Hurghada trip, either rent a car or—easier—a private car/van.
Is it worth adding an extra day in Luxor?
During the stay, we’re planning activities like camel rides, quad biking, jeep tours, snorkeling, and jet skiing.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Morocco in September-October in our Fiat camper van, which isn’t a 4x4 but has already handled quite a bit of rough travel. While reading up on southern Morocco, we’ve been drawn to the Aguinane oasis but I’m having trouble locating it on the map. Is it possible to get there without a 4x4?
Thanks for your help
Hi there,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to travel from the Dades Gorges (Msemrir) to the Todra Gorges (Tamtatouche) on a paved road? Thanks in advance for any answers.
Hello,
We’d like to hire a French-speaking guide (agency, professional, or volunteer) to show us around Cairo over three days.
Trip planned for November 22, 23, and 24, 2026—four veteran French travelers.
We’re open to any leads, contact info, or suggestions.
Best regards,
Jacques
Hi there,
I have a layover in Algeria.
I won’t be leaving the airport.
The two tickets aren’t with the same airline.
Do I need a transit visa?
Thanks for any details and your help!
Hi there,
I live in Casablanca and my parents, who are 80, will be joining me in Marrakech at the beginning of May for a few days.
We’ll be renting a car to get around.
Do you have any suggestions for things to see or visit within a 2-3 hour drive max from Marrakech that aren’t too touristy?
My parents can walk a bit, but at 80, no climbing Mount Toubkal!
Thanks so much in advance for your ideas!
