Bonjour,
Nous (un couple + garçon de 7 ans) réfléchissons à un voyage d'une dizaine de jours au Maroc, à partir d'Agadir. Nous souhaiterions visiter l'intérieur des terres 6-7 jours puis finir dans un hôtel à Agadir pour plus de farniente (et satisfaire notre fils !).
Deux questions :
- Est-ce que le climat de cette région-là est agréable fin février ? (je crains les nuits froides, notamment dans les hébergements plus sommaires). Ou pensez-vous qu'il vaut mieux attendre les vacances d'avril ?
- Quel serait LE point de chute sympathique pour passer 6 jours (dépaysant, beaux paysages, marchés et villages...) : nous avons pensé à Tafraout. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Nous souhaiterions nous poser dans uen seul endroit (à la rigueur 2) et éviter de faire des heures de route...
Par avance merci pour vos conseils !
Bonsoir,
Nous partons aux vacances de Noel 3 semaines au Maroc pour une balade à vélo dans l'anti atlas. Nous serons avec nos filles de 12 et 14 ans qui veulent voir le désert, les dunes, une balade à chameaux … Nous pensions initialement aller à Merzouga car nous en gardons un très bon souvenir d'il y a 20 ans… Mais comme nous serons plutôt vers Mhamid je me demandais si cela était équivalent pour faire une petite excursion en chameaux éventuellement un bivouac sans être les uns sur les autres …. ou si il valait mieux pousser (en bus) jusqu'à Merzouga. Autre question : si nous voulons y etre pour le 31, est ce qu'il vaut mieux réserver?
Merci bien Corinne

Bonjour
Nous serons 4 personnes qu vont au Maroc pour la première fois et souhaiteraient passer les fêtes de noël à Marrakech, pouvez vous nous conseiller des endroits.
Bonjour,
Au mois de septembre prochain, ma famille et moi (ma femme et 2 enfants de 2 et 4 ans) iront au Maroc pour un voyage de 3 semaines. Nous arriverons à Marrakech et nous repartirons de Tanger. Il s’agira de notre deuxième voyage au Maroc, lors de notre premier périple (2010), nous avions fait Marrakech, Mirleft, Ouazazate, Vallée du Dades, Gorge de Todra, Merzouga et Fes. Malgré le fait que nous avions grandement aimé notre voyage, nous aimerions visiter d’autres choses. Nous avons donc pensé de faire l’itinéraire suivant :
- - Marrakech (2 ou 3 nuits) - - Location d’une voiture et départ vers Taroudant (1 nuit) - - Mirleft (3 ou 4 nuits pour se reposer - coup de cœur de notre premier voyage, superbes plages et beaucoup de quiétude!) - - Guelmin (1 nuit ou juste une escapade à partir de Mirleft - marché de dromadaire le samedi, est-ce que ça vaut la peine ???) - - Tafraoute et sa région immédiate (Amtoudi? 3 ou 4 nuits) - - Avion vers Tanger - - Tetouan (2 nuits) - - Chefchaouen (2 nuits) - - Tanger (3 nuits) - - Retour Que pensez-vous de notre itinéraire? Quelques questions : - - Est-ce que l’Anti-Atlas et le sud vous apparait comme étant un bon choix étant donné que nous avons beaucoup aimé notre précédent voyage? - - Est-ce que nous devrions aller à Essaouira et passer moins de temps ailleurs? - - Est-ce que nous devrions passer par la route Tizi-N-Test? Est-ce un incontournable? - - Comme moyen de transport et en tenant en compte que nous avons deux jeunes enfants avec beaucoup de bagages et pas beaucoup d’aide pour les transporter (!!!). devrions-nous : (1) louer une voiture pour la durée totale de notre voyage c’est-a-dire la louer à Marrakech et la remettre à Tanger; (2) louer une voiture à Marrakech et une autre à Tanger et prendre un avion pour faire Marrakech à Tanger ou (3) louer une voiture à Marrakech, prendre l’avions à Tanger et aller à Tetouan et Chefchaouen en autobus?
Merci pour votre aide!

Hello, we’ll be in Chefchaouen at the end of February, and several people told us we should be there on the day when Berbers from the surrounding villages come to sell their products at the Chefchaouen market. Which days does this market take place? Thanks, and have a great day. Daniel
Bonjour j'ai vu que dans les environs de Tetouan on peut aller voir ce marché les jeudis, mais quelqu'un sait comment y aller ? . Merci
Bonjour ,
Depuis le 24 octobre Carrefour a ouvert un super marché à Ouarzazate. Direction Marrakech en bas de l'avenue Mohammed V près de la mosquée.

Bonjour
je suis à la recherche d'un hébergement aux environs de Nador lors de mon arrivée au Maroc en direction de Al Hoceima , il n'y a pas de camping répertorié dans ce secteur, un hôtel bon marché ferait l'affaire et mettre la moto en sécurité pour la nuit , si vous avez une adresse à me recommander...?
Merci d'avance
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 everyone! :)
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!
All ears! :)
Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Hello everyone,
I’m currently planning our next trip to Morocco. We really enjoy visiting one or two collective granaries on each of our trips. We’ve seen some already, like the one in Aït Kine, or the one in Tasguent, and of course those in Amtoudi, as well as the cliffside granary of Ifri. There are still many left to explore. I’d love to hear which ones you’d recommend—preferably ones that aren’t too hard to access. I’m counting on you! Thanks
Depuis samedi Hertz s’est déclaré en faillite aux USA et au Canada , ça correspond chez nous à une mesure de sauvegarde de justice , 20 000salaries ont été licenciés .
Cette mesure doit nous mettre en garde au regard de la sous traitance au Maroc d’Hertz et de ses filiales Trifty et Dollar .

Bonjour à tous.
Je recherche pour ma voisine qui doit se rendre au Maroc dès la fin du confinement, à Agadir, une voiture de location qui n'appartient pas à un grand groupe international, donc pas de Budget, Hertz, Europcar, Avis, Alamo, Thrify, Sixt, National Grenn etc....la liste et longue.
Pouvez vous m'indiquer une agence indépendante sur le secteur de l'aéroport, ma voisine veut faire travailler les agences locales, ce qui tout à son honneur.
Les sociétés Hertz et Avis couvrent déjà à elles seules, sous différentes appellations, 75 % du marché Marocain, Thrify quasiment 10 %, c'est donc quasiment impossible de trouver une agence 100% Marocaine qui ne soit pas dépendante d'un grand groupe international. Merci pour vos réponses. Cordialement.

J'ajoute ma pierre à l'édifice...Location chez RENTALCARS pour séjour au Maroc en Avril 2020...Séjour annulé cause Covid 19...Donc je me retourne vers rentalcars pour annuler ma réservation...Précision faîte que lors de la location ils se font fort de dire que le remboursement est intégral en cas d'annulation avant les 48 heures de la prise en charge du véhicule..et donc je demande l'annulation et on me propose deux alternatives..soit faire une nouvelle résa sans frais...soit on me taxe d'office 46 euros sur le remboursement...NE VOUS LAISSEZ PAS IMPRESSIONNER...NE CONFIRMEZ PAS L ANNULATION ET ALLEZ SUR LE CHAT POUR VOUS PLAINDRE DE TELLES PRATIQUES...ET CA MARCHE..Au début du chat j'ai fait le candide en faisant croire que j'allais louer un véhicule et que donc je voulais savoir si le remboursement était intégral en cas d'annulation 48hrs avant..Quand on m'a écrit que Ouiiiiii...bien entendu le remboursement était intégralement remboursé..alors j'ai fait état de la réservation à annuler pour laquelle on me proposait de me taxer 46 euros...grand blanc pour mon interlocuteur qui a fini par me dire au bout de dix minutes que c'était en fait l'agence de location qui imposait ces 46 euros...sauf que cela n’apparaît pas dans mon voucher...On m'a donc propose quand même de me rembourser intégralement...et j'ai reçu la totalité des fonds 48 heures après..A leur décharge il y a bien des frais d 'annulation prévus dans leur conditions générales...mais franchement..qui les lit avant de confirmer une réservation !!!!On se fie surtout à leur pub et...à la lecture de cette pub on lit que ce remboursement intégral se fait DANS LA PLUSPART DES CAS..sauf qu'il est impossible de savoir dans quels cas il y a ou pas des frais d'annulation ...bref..RENTALCARS N EST PAS TRÈS CLAIR DANS SA dEMARCHE..et il ne faut pas hésiter à marchander...Bon courage

Bonjour,
On est une famille avec 2 enfants de 12 ans. On est sportifs. Nos enfants sont habitués à faire des treks (on était au Kirghizistan l'année dernière et on a fait un trek de 4 jours où on est montés à 4000m). On pense partir entre 15 et 21 jours.
On aimerait faire un voyage qui mêlerait visites de grandes villes, un ou 2 treks en montagne de plusieurs jours, un dans le désert, balades, et terminer par plages...
On cherche quelquechose d'assez authentique. Dans l'idéal dormir dans des tentes ou chez l'habitant pour les randos et un peu plus confortable par la suite.
J'ai commencé à chercher des infos par-ci, par-là...
J'ai plusieurs questions : - connaissez vous des guides ou des itinéraires sympas? des noms d'auberges, ryads, de personnes qui nous logeraient? - nous partons fin juillet/début août, pensez vous qu'il ne fera pas trop chaud? - des endroits chouettes pas forcément très touristiques qui valent un détour?
Bref, je prends tout renseignement qui vous semblerait être utile à la préparation de mon voyage! Merci d'avance pour votre aide!

Bonjour,
Bientôt j'arriverai à l'aéroport de Casablanca et j'aimerais utiliser un transport public à la place du taxi pour me rendre au centre-ville. D'après le Routard il y a un train de l'aéroport à Casa-port ce train part-il directement de l'aéroport ?
Merci!
Bonsoir à tous
Je vais me rendre au Maroc fin mars via l'Espagne. J'y reste jusqu'au 24 avril ou plus longtemps si le ramadan ne me complique pas trop le séjour. Apparemment il n'est pas nécessaire de réserver le bateau Algésiras-Tanger. Je pense dormir tantôt dans ma voiture (petit utilitaire Partner), tantôt dans des auberges pas trop chères. J'aimerais ne réserver aucune nuit pour conserver toute liberté.
Le guide "campings du Maroc" (Gaudini-Samson-Verhooste) est-il bien ? Puis-je espérer trouver des hébergements assez bon marché sans réserver à l'avance ? (par curiosité je suis allée sur Booking.com et çà ne m'a pas rassurée)
Merci pour votre aide.

Après l'annonce de la faillite du tour-opérateur britannique Thomas Cook, le Maroc fait ses comptes et dresse une première estimation des pertes. Avec 102 000 clients annuels envoyés par le voyagiste vers le Maroc, le chiffre d'affaires potentiel perdu serait de 800 millions de dirhams.

Bonjour a tous
il y a qq années j'ai acheté une puce tel (avec contrat et passeport) dans une boutique . Je l'ai reactive l’année suivante sans aucun problème pour ces deux années d'utilisation.
Lors de mon dernier passage (2017) au Maroc a l 'aéroport des jeunes gens proposaient des cartes prépayées a insérer dans tel double sim ou débloqués (j'ai les deux).
Dois je me "casser" la tete a faire réactiver une puce vielle de trois ans ? ou prendre une carte sim (y a t'il 3G 4G) sur place ? si oui quel opérateur? je vais dans le sud (Tiznit)
Peut elle la question est un peu confuse ! je resume en une seule phrase quelle est la solution la - chere pour tel en franc et au Maroc et utiliser les données mobile via un smartphone par exemple pour un GPS
Merci de votre aide
Hi everyone,
We’re planning a trip to Morocco in February 2026. We already know the country a bit, including the desert where we were lucky enough to take part in a rally.
This time, we’d like to explore the Merzouga dunes as a family. We’ll be renting a car in Marrakech and we’re looking for advice on the best stops to make the most of the drive.
We’re still undecided about the return route: should we go back through the Valley of the Roses (and maybe see the gorges if we don’t have time on the way there) or take the Draa Valley for a change?
Here’s our rough itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Marrakech in the evening – Overnight stay there
Day 2: Drive east – Overnight in Skoura? Boumalne? Further on?
Day 3: Drive with a stop at the Dadès or Todra Gorges – Overnight in Merzouga
Day 4: Desert day – Overnight in Merzouga
Day 5: Return drive (Draa Valley or back through the Valley of the Roses / Route of the 1000 Kasbahs?) – Overnight in Agdz? Ouarzazate?
Day 6: Drive back to Marrakech with a stop at Aït Ben Haddou / Fint Oasis – Overnight in Marrakech
Day 7–8: Marrakech then departure
If any of you have suggestions on timing, the most enjoyable stops, or feedback on these routes, I’d love to hear your tips. Thanks in advance!

MOROCCO END 2024 / BEGINNING 2025
Off-season, I was lucky enough to negotiate hotel prices.
I should also mention that this was for a solo traveler until December 30th.
After that, there’ll be three of us!
Practical info.
Here’s all the info I gathered during my 3-month trip.
Cities: TANGIER / CHEFCHAOUEN / FES / MOULAY IDRISS, VOLUBILIS / AZROU / MIDELT /
ERRACHIDIA / RISSANI / MERZOUGA / TINGHIR / BOUMLANE DADES, AIT OUGLIF /
OUARZAZATE / TALIOUINE / TAROUDANT / TIZNIT / TAFRAOUT / SIDI IFNI, LEGZIRA /
AGADIR / ESSAOUIRA / MARRAKECH ///
From there, we’ll be three people. Cities: IMLIL / OUARZAZATE / AGDZ / ZAGORA / AIT BEN HADDOU / MARRAKECH / ESSAOUIRA / CASABLANCA. (Generally, I found that mattresses in Morocco were quite hard. My solution: I put two, even three folded blankets on the mattress to add some softness. Wi-Fi almost never works in the room.)
Tangier: Hôtel Fuentes Petit Socco, Old Medina +212 539 934 669 (For one person, end of October) Upon arrival, 19 € for a double room with a private bathroom. Breakfast included. Chefchaouen: Dar Besmellah Av Ibn Askar +212 539 986 489 (For one person, end of October). I don’t recommend it. A small, low-ceilinged room with a window facing a patio. Very dark and damp. Shared bathroom. 9 € Dar Bleu Pearl N° 4 Derb Benyaakoub +212 (0)539 88 28 86. Negotiated on-site to 130 MAD instead of 160 on Booking. Small room, furniture, Wi-Fi, private bathroom. Fes: Riad Alfredo or Riad Rocco—it’s the same place. It’s in a very narrow alley. N° 15 Derb Sidi Kjih or Qjih Talla Sagira +212 662 769 688 (see photos and virtual tour) Negotiated to 13 € on-site; on Booking, it was 16 €. Breakfast included. Atypical Anne room with private bathroom, Wi-Fi. The room is a bit dark. One of the best beds on my trip. Again, this was for a solo traveler off-season (end of October to end of December). Moulay Idriss: Gite El Menzeh (see the map) Negotiated on-site to 14 € with breakfast; on Booking, it was 24 €. I also negotiated for dinner—very good and hearty—for 5 € (the manager wanted 20 €). I stayed in the large upstairs room with a double bed, window, and private bathroom, not the tiny windowless rooms downstairs. Azrou: Hôtel des Cèdres Place Mohamed V. (see the map and photos) Negotiated 13 € instead of 16 € on Booking for a room with two small beds and a private bathroom. This hotel is honestly run-down and not worth the price at all. The owner thinks it’s a very classy hotel because of its old reputation! Midelt: Chez Ali, city center (see map) Negotiated to 14 € instead of 17 € on Booking. Room with two beds, bathroom, window, small terrace, and Wi-Fi. Er Rachidia: Hôtel El Fekri. Rue Moulay Abdalah Ben Ali (see map and photos) Couldn’t negotiate on-site—14 €, but on Booking, it was 5 € more! Rissani: Hôtel Restaurant Panorama +212 615 978 445 Well, I’d say skip it. Rooms without windows and shared bathrooms. Or on the terrace, there’s a sort of space with a big bed and a small bed behind a locked iron door with a window and an external bathroom that’s also used by people eating on the terrace. If there are people on the terrace, forget about privacy! Not to mention the internet doesn’t work, and the bed is as hard as a straw mat. All that for 150 MAD—luckily, I didn’t book through Booking, or it would’ve been more expensive!!! I didn’t stay. This closet isn’t even worth 100 MAD—and even that’s too much! A little further on, I went to a hotel where no one spoke English or anything else. I got a large room with 3 beds, a private bathroom, and Wi-Fi for 100 MAD. Merzouga: Said’s apartment +212 618 659 264. No real address—it’s right next to a souvenir shop, far from the center. (see photos) 15 €. The apartment is large with two bedrooms and all the comforts. But for me, it was too far from the village. Chez Belkecem: Marked on GPS. I don’t have any coordinates (see photos). +212 666 911 732 Negotiated on-site to 13 € with breakfast; on Booking, it was 2 € more. The room is decorated in a Berber style, with a private bathroom and a window to the outside. The worst breakfast I had in Morocco! Tinghir: Dar Al Medina Av Mohamed V (see map) Beautiful hotel negotiated to 13 € instead of 18 € on Booking. Breakfast included, Wi-Fi, room with a double bed and a single bed, window, and private bathroom. (Top floor) Boumlane Dades: Auberge Tamazirt (no contact) see GPS. Negotiated to 13 € with breakfast. It’s rustic, but I had a private bathroom, a large bed, Wi-Fi, a window, and a double bed. And the best part—the super-friendly owner gave me one of the gas heaters from the hallway. Aït Ouglif: Hôtel Aït Marghad. (See the map) Negotiated to 150 MAD instead of 240 MAD with breakfast. The place was half-closed because it was off-season. Room with a double bed on the ground floor, window, Wi-Fi, and bathroom. Heating provided—essential. The hassle was that there was almost no hot water. Ouarzazate: Hôtel Atlas 13 rue du marché +212 524 887 745 It’s on the pedestrian street. (See photos) Negotiated to 13 €. Old-fashioned room, double bed with a very hard mattress. Private bathroom, window, and Wi-Fi. Taliouine: Hôtel Le Safran. A 20-minute walk from the center—no other choice. Otherwise, there are a few local hotels, but even if I’m not always picky, there are limits. (See the map) Negotiated from 300 MAD to 200 MAD. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, window, king-size bed, private bathroom. The room is large (No. 11). (There’s a pool in the hotel.) Hôtel Atlas Bordeaux: +212 666 752 292 (next to the bus station) Usually, I’m not too picky, but honestly, skip this one. This place could be good because it’s central if: the cleaning was thorough. The bathrooms need to be redone... etc. No sheets—just a sort of blanket on the mattress and another to cover yourself. Obviously not clean. No towel. A bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in way too long. In short, absolutely avoid. 120 MAD! Taroudant: Hôtel (mini) Atlas Bld Mansour Eddahbi (see map and photos) Double room with window, large bed, private bathroom, Wi-Fi (not great). A hotel that doesn’t look like much but is sparkling clean! 90 MAD for a single, 120 MAD for a double. Tiznit: Résidence Chem (see map) 100 MAD for a room with two single beds (very hard), window, private bathroom, and Wi-Fi. Clean but poorly maintained. Tafraout: Espace Tifawine (see the map). Hotel with a pool. Negotiated to 14 € on-site instead of 30 € on Booking. I could even choose my room. A large room with two beds—one big and one small. A large bathroom, a window, and Wi-Fi. Sidi Ifni: Hôtel Suerte Loca. (No contact, see GPS) I paid 140 MAD for a room in this dive—no negotiation possible. My room had a tiny terrace, the walls were repainted, but it’s super noisy (neighbors). Worse, when someone uses the water, there’s a loud machinery noise. That’s not all—the mattress is really worn out and sagging. The bathroom isn’t great. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work! This place still enjoys its old reputation, but it’s really run-down, and everything is old. The bedding is the worst I had in Morocco. Skip it. There’s much better for cheaper elsewhere! Hôtel La Belle Vue: Just before Suerte Loca +212 528 875 242 The reception staff was more than unfriendly. After seeing the rooms, I didn’t stay because the bedding would’ve been like sleeping on a yoga mat. Obviously not worth the 200 MAD asked for. Hôtel Aït Baamrane. Further down on the beach. Same price as above. The only difference is that everything is in good condition and comfortable, with a warm welcome.
Hôtel Safa: (see the map and photos.) On-site, no negotiation possible—200 MAD; on Booking, it was over 350 MAD. Huge room with all the luxury you could hope for. Breakfast included, large bay window, king-size bed, TV, Wi-Fi, furniture, and of course, a private bathroom. Agadir: Hôtel Kamal (see map) The only hotel I booked through Booking because there was a good discount. Except on-site, the hotel never wanted to give me the discount. At night, small insects that strongly resemble cockroaches—yet it’s high-end with doormen, etc. I contacted Booking, but nothing worked! I paid 250 MAD! Essaouira: Hôtel Elkasbah Souiria (See map and photo) Small room (No. 18) with a single bed and all the comforts. Private bathroom, window, Wi-Fi, and breakfast included (all-you-can-eat buffet). No negotiation possible—200 MAD. Chez Lina: Rue El Khemiset +212 658 042 562 (she speaks French) Large apartment with two bedrooms. Private bathroom on the landing. Wi-Fi. New, so not yet well set up. Far from the center. I paid 15 € instead of 18 € on Booking. Marrakech: Hôtel Atlas 50 rue Sidi Bouloukate +212 661 358 662 Tiny room on the ground floor with a shared bathroom. Wi-Fi, tiny window, very dark and noisy. 12 €
On December 31st, I’m joined by friends. The rooms will be for three people. Marrakech: Hôtel Agnaou 10 avenue or passage Moulay Rachid. +212 705 306 275. Negotiated on-site to 28 € for a room with a window to the outside and a private bathroom. Wi-Fi. Riad Todos: in the old medina +34 643 480 502 Watch out for extra taxes they might try to charge you. No heating. This place could be nice if better maintained. Bad smell of cat urine. Water leak in the bathroom. Wall crumbling from humidity. However, the reception staff is warm and tries to satisfy you. 120 MAD booked on Airbnb! Imlil: Auberge de la Vallée (see map) Large room with 4 beds. All comforts. Private bathroom, heating, Wi-Fi, and breakfast. Negotiated on-site to 300 MAD for three people. Ouarzazate: Hôtel Iazal: Av. Moulay Abdellah +212 524 886 187 (see photos) Very expensive for this hotel. Small room for 3 with a tiny, impractical bathroom. Heating, Wi-Fi, window. The showerhead is placed between the tiny sink and the toilet. The small space floods quickly. Far from the pedestrian center. No negotiation possible—350 MAD for three. Agdz: Guesthouse Le Chant des Palmiers. (See map) Very nice room—more like a small apartment with a fireplace corner, gas heating, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, windows, bedroom area plus two single beds. Breakfast included. Negotiated to 400 MAD for 3 people instead of 840 MAD on Booking. Zagora: Hôtel La Palmeraie. (See map) Room with bathroom, Wi-Fi (not great), heating, and window. Breakfast included. No negotiation—300 MAD (for 3). Aït Ben Haddou: Auberge La Barraka (see the map) Large, beautiful room with windows, Wi-Fi, heating, bathroom. Breakfast included. Pool. Negotiate a good price—but I didn’t note it down. (Around mid-January) Essaouira: El Kasbah Souiria. (See above) Room for three. Same benefits. No negotiation. 500 MAD. Casablanca: 664, Résidence Clémentine BD Mohamed V, Roches Noires. +33 6681 48002 Large, upscale apartment. Not far from Casa Voyageurs train station. Booked on Booking. 45 € (Last day, January 16th). Upon arrival, the price is always a few euros cheaper than on Booking—except in rare cases. Then, negotiation is possible or not! Prices vary depending on the season.
A few good places (for me) to eat.
Fes: Chez Hakim. (See map) Very good, hearty, and almost cheaper than anywhere else in the medina. Ouarzazate: Pasto wood-fired oven Place Al-Mouahidine +212 696 484 281 It had been a long time since I’d eaten such a good pizza (better than in most restaurants in France). At a price that beats all competition! Midelt: Berber Restaurant. (See map and photos) A dive that doesn’t look like much but is delicious at a more than affordable price. Marrakech: Dar EL WALIDIN Raid laahrouse, Rte Sidi Abdelaziz +212 653 493 637 Great selection, good food, and also cheap!
(At Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Under the warm welcome at restaurant « Chez Ali N° 65 », we got scammed out of 7 € when paying the bill! Experts at swindling.) Azrou: Snack La Forêt (see map) Again, good food at a low price. Merzouga: Snack Alafrah VOLUBILIS: The price has gone up to 100 MAD. Honestly, if you’re not an archaeology buff, it’s not worth it! BANKS: The best exchange rate I got was at BMCI. For ATMs, I paid the least fees at Banque Populaire. TRANSPORTATION:
Airport taxi Tangier to Petit Socco: 100 MAD Train: Fes to Meknès Al Amir: 35 MAD Casablanca to Airport: 60 MAD
Grand Taxis: (Shared taxi for 7 people that only leaves when full. I never waited more than 15 minutes to leave. There’s good turnover, and the vehicles are in good condition. They go faster than buses and are almost always cheaper. Prices are fixed, and you don’t pay the driver but the station chief!)
Meknès to Moulay Idriss: 12 MAD Moulay Idriss to Azrou: 35 MAD Midelt to Errachidia: 60 MAD Errachidia to Rissani: 40 MAD (I preferred this option rather than leaving at night or very early in the morning from Errachidia to Merzouga with Supratour, the only company that goes to Merzouga.) Rissani to Merzouga: 15 MAD Taliouine to Taroudant: 45 MAD (The bus is cheaper but takes longer) Taroudant to Inezgane: 35 MAD (Agadir suburb) I connected directly to Tiznit. Inezgane to Tiznit: 35 MAD Tiznit to Tafraout: 45 MAD (2-hour trip) Tiznit to Sidi Ifni: 35 MAD Agadir to Essaouira: 100 MAD Essaouira to Marrakech: 100 MAD Imlil to Marrakech: 35 MAD Grand taxi for three to Imlil: 220 MAD BUS: Tangier to Chefchaouen: 65 + 5 MAD baggage CTM Chefchaouen to Fes: 135 + 5 MAD CTM Azrou to Midelt: 50 MAD local bus Merzouga to Tinghir: 110 + 5 MAD Supratour Tinghir to Boumlane Dades: 30 + 5 MAD Supratour Boumlane Dades to Ouarzazate: 30 MAD minibus Ouarzazate to Taliouine: 60 MAD Satas company Sidi Ifni to Agadir: 95 + 5 MAD CTM Agadir to Essaouira: 70 MAD Trans Al Yamama Essaouira to Marrakech: 65 MAD Argana company Marrakech to Essaouira: 60 + 5 MAD Virago Mogador company Essaouira to Casablanca: 100 + 5 MAD
Sidi Ifni: To go to Legzira, there are green shared buses that leave every 2 hours for 6 MAD. Petit Taxis: You have to negotiate hard—the price can double. Example: In Fes, they asked me for 50 MAD from the bus station to the Blue Gate. By walking a bit further and being patient, I got a taxi for 20 MAD! Another example: From Agadir’s bus station, they asked for 40 MAD to go to Hôtel Kamal. In the end, I paid 15 MAD! Here’s all the practical info I gathered during my trip to Morocco from late October to mid-January. It’s up to you to see if it’s useful or not.

From there, we’ll be three people. Cities: IMLIL / OUARZAZATE / AGDZ / ZAGORA / AIT BEN HADDOU / MARRAKECH / ESSAOUIRA / CASABLANCA. (Generally, I found that mattresses in Morocco were quite hard. My solution: I put two, even three folded blankets on the mattress to add some softness. Wi-Fi almost never works in the room.)
Tangier: Hôtel Fuentes Petit Socco, Old Medina +212 539 934 669 (For one person, end of October) Upon arrival, 19 € for a double room with a private bathroom. Breakfast included. Chefchaouen: Dar Besmellah Av Ibn Askar +212 539 986 489 (For one person, end of October). I don’t recommend it. A small, low-ceilinged room with a window facing a patio. Very dark and damp. Shared bathroom. 9 € Dar Bleu Pearl N° 4 Derb Benyaakoub +212 (0)539 88 28 86. Negotiated on-site to 130 MAD instead of 160 on Booking. Small room, furniture, Wi-Fi, private bathroom. Fes: Riad Alfredo or Riad Rocco—it’s the same place. It’s in a very narrow alley. N° 15 Derb Sidi Kjih or Qjih Talla Sagira +212 662 769 688 (see photos and virtual tour) Negotiated to 13 € on-site; on Booking, it was 16 €. Breakfast included. Atypical Anne room with private bathroom, Wi-Fi. The room is a bit dark. One of the best beds on my trip. Again, this was for a solo traveler off-season (end of October to end of December). Moulay Idriss: Gite El Menzeh (see the map) Negotiated on-site to 14 € with breakfast; on Booking, it was 24 €. I also negotiated for dinner—very good and hearty—for 5 € (the manager wanted 20 €). I stayed in the large upstairs room with a double bed, window, and private bathroom, not the tiny windowless rooms downstairs. Azrou: Hôtel des Cèdres Place Mohamed V. (see the map and photos) Negotiated 13 € instead of 16 € on Booking for a room with two small beds and a private bathroom. This hotel is honestly run-down and not worth the price at all. The owner thinks it’s a very classy hotel because of its old reputation! Midelt: Chez Ali, city center (see map) Negotiated to 14 € instead of 17 € on Booking. Room with two beds, bathroom, window, small terrace, and Wi-Fi. Er Rachidia: Hôtel El Fekri. Rue Moulay Abdalah Ben Ali (see map and photos) Couldn’t negotiate on-site—14 €, but on Booking, it was 5 € more! Rissani: Hôtel Restaurant Panorama +212 615 978 445 Well, I’d say skip it. Rooms without windows and shared bathrooms. Or on the terrace, there’s a sort of space with a big bed and a small bed behind a locked iron door with a window and an external bathroom that’s also used by people eating on the terrace. If there are people on the terrace, forget about privacy! Not to mention the internet doesn’t work, and the bed is as hard as a straw mat. All that for 150 MAD—luckily, I didn’t book through Booking, or it would’ve been more expensive!!! I didn’t stay. This closet isn’t even worth 100 MAD—and even that’s too much! A little further on, I went to a hotel where no one spoke English or anything else. I got a large room with 3 beds, a private bathroom, and Wi-Fi for 100 MAD. Merzouga: Said’s apartment +212 618 659 264. No real address—it’s right next to a souvenir shop, far from the center. (see photos) 15 €. The apartment is large with two bedrooms and all the comforts. But for me, it was too far from the village. Chez Belkecem: Marked on GPS. I don’t have any coordinates (see photos). +212 666 911 732 Negotiated on-site to 13 € with breakfast; on Booking, it was 2 € more. The room is decorated in a Berber style, with a private bathroom and a window to the outside. The worst breakfast I had in Morocco! Tinghir: Dar Al Medina Av Mohamed V (see map) Beautiful hotel negotiated to 13 € instead of 18 € on Booking. Breakfast included, Wi-Fi, room with a double bed and a single bed, window, and private bathroom. (Top floor) Boumlane Dades: Auberge Tamazirt (no contact) see GPS. Negotiated to 13 € with breakfast. It’s rustic, but I had a private bathroom, a large bed, Wi-Fi, a window, and a double bed. And the best part—the super-friendly owner gave me one of the gas heaters from the hallway. Aït Ouglif: Hôtel Aït Marghad. (See the map) Negotiated to 150 MAD instead of 240 MAD with breakfast. The place was half-closed because it was off-season. Room with a double bed on the ground floor, window, Wi-Fi, and bathroom. Heating provided—essential. The hassle was that there was almost no hot water. Ouarzazate: Hôtel Atlas 13 rue du marché +212 524 887 745 It’s on the pedestrian street. (See photos) Negotiated to 13 €. Old-fashioned room, double bed with a very hard mattress. Private bathroom, window, and Wi-Fi. Taliouine: Hôtel Le Safran. A 20-minute walk from the center—no other choice. Otherwise, there are a few local hotels, but even if I’m not always picky, there are limits. (See the map) Negotiated from 300 MAD to 200 MAD. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, window, king-size bed, private bathroom. The room is large (No. 11). (There’s a pool in the hotel.) Hôtel Atlas Bordeaux: +212 666 752 292 (next to the bus station) Usually, I’m not too picky, but honestly, skip this one. This place could be good because it’s central if: the cleaning was thorough. The bathrooms need to be redone... etc. No sheets—just a sort of blanket on the mattress and another to cover yourself. Obviously not clean. No towel. A bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in way too long. In short, absolutely avoid. 120 MAD! Taroudant: Hôtel (mini) Atlas Bld Mansour Eddahbi (see map and photos) Double room with window, large bed, private bathroom, Wi-Fi (not great). A hotel that doesn’t look like much but is sparkling clean! 90 MAD for a single, 120 MAD for a double. Tiznit: Résidence Chem (see map) 100 MAD for a room with two single beds (very hard), window, private bathroom, and Wi-Fi. Clean but poorly maintained. Tafraout: Espace Tifawine (see the map). Hotel with a pool. Negotiated to 14 € on-site instead of 30 € on Booking. I could even choose my room. A large room with two beds—one big and one small. A large bathroom, a window, and Wi-Fi.

Hi there,
We’re heading to Ouarzazate and southern Morocco in 7 days. Here’s our route (map). We’re a family of 2 adults and 3 kids (11, 9, and 5 years old). Could you let me know if there are even more scenic roads to take, and any must-see spots, please? 😉
Day 1: Ouarzazate – Skoura – Dadès Day 2: Dadès + Todra Day 3: Tinegir – Djbel Saghro – N'Kob Day 4: Tazzarine – M'Hamid (overnight in Erg Lihoudi) Day 5: M'Hamid – Draa Valley – Agdz Day 6: Agdz – Fint – Ben Haddou Day 7: Telouet – Ouarzazate

Hi there,
I'm currently planning our trip to Morocco for next May.
We're looking to explore a part of the country we haven't visited yet, and I'd love to get some opinions or tips for my itinerary.
We'll have a rental Duster to get around.
-1- Marrakech to the Paradise Valley, arriving in the late afternoon. 2 nights there so we can explore the next day.
-2- From Paradise Valley to Tafraout.
Along the way, we'd like to visit some agadirs (Ikounka, Imeghguiguilne, Ighir, Tizourgane). I'm wondering if we'll have time to see them all, if we should visit all of them or skip some? Or if there are other suggestions?
-3- I plan to stay 3 nights in Tafraout.
Night 1 we might arrive late.
The following days to visit the village of Tagdicht, the Blue Rocks, and the Ait Mansour Valley.
Doable? Road or track conditions? Too much or too little time? Anything else to see?
-4- I was thinking of taking the road to visit the underground village of Icht.
Then heading to Tata to visit the Tollé and/or Messalites caves.
Same questions as before (road conditions, time, anything else)?
-5- Road to Tissint for a walk.
Road to Taliouine to visit the Glaoui kasbah.
Spend the night around there.
Same questions?
-6- Road and visit to the Ifri granary.
Then head to a part of Morocco we already know :-)
Anyway, quite a few questions...
Since we've been to Morocco several times before, I know there won't be any issues once we're there. It's just that I'm trying to plan ahead a bit so we don't miss what there is to see in the area, without rushing too much ;-)

Selon Mohamed Alami, président de l’Association des loueurs d’automobiles sans chauffeur au Maroc (ALASCAM), « plus de 60% des agences de location de voitures vont déposer leur bilan et presque 90% sont en cessation de paiement. C’est-à-dire qu’elles ont arrêté de payer leurs fournisseurs, les organismes de crédits et les banques. De même, plus de 6 000 dossiers sont devant les tribunaux et le processus de récupération des voitures par les sociétés de financement est en cours », indique Aujourdhui le Maroc.

Bonjour,
Quelqu'un sait il le tarif qu'il y a moyen de négocier pour un taxi entre Marrakech et Ouarzazate? On va être 4 en août (si les frontières sont réouvertes entretemps). Voili voilou, je sais que c'est beaucoup à la tête du client, mais voilà, j'aimerais me faire une idée approximative pour savoir à partir de quel prix on se fait escroquer... Et négocier un tarif raisonnable.

Bonjour.En voyage virtuel je prépare un futur périple pour emmener des amies qui ne connaissent pas le Maroc. Après la vallée des Ait Bouguemez, Demnate je voudrais rejoindre les environs de Ouarzazate (telouet etc...). J'ai déjà pris la R307 et mis à part des paysages grandioses j'en garde un souvenir épouvantable à cause de la route :j'ai fait du 20 kms tout du long en me demandant si la voiture n'allait pas expirer car moi je suis arrivée à bout de souffle au gîte...je me demande quel serait le meilleur itinéraire à partir de Demnate:
-P 3108-P2016: Ait Adel, Ait Abdi, Azlag, abadou, Mdast, Al Mahrouze puis la N9..
-P2117: Sidi Rahal-Touama puis N9...
Avez-vous fait la route Agouti-Demnate :R302 car je n'en ai fait qu'une petite partie.
Merci.Au plaisir de vous lire.
