Morocco in 7 days - Marrakech + self-drive route of the 1.000 Kasbahs + 2 hikes [epic guide]

Yay! You're going to Morocco!

Morocco is a fantastic travel destination and you have made the right choice to go! Friendly people, good food, rooftops, sunshine, mint tea all day, affordable prices, great roads, beautiful nature and culture, ... what else is there to wish for?

Thank you for buying this guide. I hope the many hours I spent planning and creating this trip will give you the same unforgettable week me and my friend had in Morocco.

Safety

Before we headed off to Morocco, several people shared their past experiences with us and several travel blogs mention scams or even harassment so we didn't know what to expect really. Let me put you at ease right away: we had 0 (zero!) scams happen to us and a lot has to do with how you act or are as a person in any foreign country.

Are you planning to wear a bikini and a mini skirt in Morocco? You're probably going to attract a lot of attention, good or bad, because they are not used to that in Morocco. Don't take it personally. Are you going to flash your money around while wearing expensive luxury clothing or jewelery in front of people earning just the minimum, if that? Are you the kind of person that likes to take pictures of people in the street, without even asking if that's ok? Well, you might find that people just don't like that. I don't like that either. Relax and just go with the flow.

Moroccans are among the most warm and open people I have ever encountered. I've seen many parts of Asia, Europe, the U.S., Africa, South America, ... and never was I so overwhelmed by the warmth, smiles and encounters we had in Morocco. Throughout this guide I'll share some tips about how to handle specific situations like photography, but for now, let's dive into your itinerary! If you had any doubts about going to Morocco before reading this guide, worry no more and let's dive into your itinerary. You're in for an adventure!
