This means that deciding which parts of Morocco to explore can be tough. Luckily, we’ve done the hard work for you, so you can stop your search. Here are the most Instagrammable places in Morocco, that will leave your followers feeling envious.
Merzouga Dunes
Bathed in sunlight and emitting an ethereal orange glow, the Merzouga Dunes sit near the border between Morocco and Algeria. The perfect place to capture a windswept, looking-far-into-the-distance selfie, the dunes also offer opportunities for serious photographers. With little light pollution, you can capture some amazing star trails.
Jemaa El Fnaa Market
Morocco is synonymous with its souks or spice markets. They’re a must for travellers, providing a hive of activity, chaos and heady scents. If you only visit one, then make sure to head to Jemaa El Fnaa. You’ll find a riot of colour, as well as Instagrammable stalls and food. Tip: Visit during the evening to get a stunning photo of it lit up.
Chefchaouen
Situated in the Rif Mountains, Chefchaeouen is a beautiful ancient city dating back to the 15th Century. But what makes it different from any other historic area in Morocco? Well, the entire city is painted in vibrant shades of blue. Yes, blue! Visitors can stroll through narrow blue streets, pose in archways and enjoy the beautiful views.
Ouzoud Falls
Every Instagrammable holiday requires amazing scenery and among many others, Morocco boasts the incredible Ouzoud Falls. Located northeast of Marrakech, this amazing waterfall makes for the perfect, dreamy landscape photo. Tip: For a truly stunning capture, head to the falls at sunset.
Ait Ben Haddou
An ancient fortified village, Ait Ben Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical architecture. A stunning terracotta coloured marvel, it’s an Instagram must. Plus, if it wasn’t already appealing enough, it’s also been used in a variety of films and shows, from Game of Thrones to Gladiator!
Legzira Beach
Sure, Morocco is known for its cities and markets, but it has so much more to offer – like Legzira Beach. While you may not associate Morocco with white sandy beaches, you’ll find a rugged and architectural coastline, with large orange cliff faces. It definitely qualifies as Insta-worthy!
