The best and most popular place where you can start hiking from is the village of Imlil. If you’re a hiking lover, then hiking in the Atlas Mountains while visiting Morocco is an absolute must. The highest peak of the Atlas Mountains is Mount Toubkal (4, 167) which is situated in Morocco. ![]() The Atlas Mountains are a mountain range stretching through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Northern Morocco is a fairly safe place to visit, like the country as a whole, and the locals are usually super friendly towards travelers. ![]() The national park is perfect for day hikes and multi-day treks where you can spend the night in small Berber villages that are frequent in the park. The highlight in the park is the tiny Spanish territory island which is connected to the mainland by a thin sand strip, Bades Island. But there is a lot of other wildlife and fauna to be seen in the national park, especially playful packs of dolphins but also the more timid pink flamingos. Endangered species like Monk Seals dominate the waters, Osprey the air, and a massive Thuya forest on land. It covers 180 square meters of the coast and 196 square meters of protected sea. However, be careful to book with a reputable company with lots of positive online reviews, as I had some issues with the tour I took with guides harassing me.Ĭontributed by Linn Haglund of Brainy BackpackersĪl HoceimaNational Park on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco is not what most people think of when they talk about the country. While it is safe to visit, it’s far easier to get there on a tour, and that’s how most travelers end up visiting the Sahara Desert. Riding through the Sahara Desert on a camel and staying with bedouins in a desert camp is a bucket list must, and I encourage everyone to consider adding a Sahara desert tour to their Morocco itinerary! Once you arrive in Merzouga, you’ll be shocked at how utterly beautiful the Sahara Desert is in person: how orange the sand is, how the dunes ripple in the breeze, how black the night sky is, and how starry it is. Visiting the Sahara Desert is quite an undertaking from Marrakech or Fes – both cities are at least 8 hours of desert and mountain driving area, but it is absolutely worth the trek. One of the absolute best places to visit in North Africa is the Sahara Desert, which you can find in several North African countries, but there is a sliver it of at the eastern edge of Morocco.
