Can't Miss Morocco

Best Morocco Websites

visitmorocco

Without further ado, here is our list of the best Morocco websites. Sites are listed for visual appeal and/or quality of information. In our opinion, some of the best sources for gathering information both with pictures and words are blogs. So there is a healthy dose of them in the list.

Overall Information on Morocco:

  1. Visit Morocco: This is the national tourism office website. Talk about eye candy for Morocco. I love the banner images they use. The information on the site, is a bit surface level, but the pictures really draw you in. Their accomodation/travel agent finder isn’t super accurate either.
  2. Morocco by Thomas Christofoletti: It is only about 10 photographs, but they will make you drool.
  3. Friends of Morocco: Although not definitely not as pretty as Visit Morocco, the information on here is super in depth about all sorts of aspects of life related to Morocco.
  4. A Lovely World: This website has some great pics of Marrakech, Ouarzazate, and the region.
  5. The View From Fez: Great info on Fez and all things Moroccan.
  6. My Marrakech: Another ultra local blog, this time from Marrakesh. The commentary deals with things in Marrakesh, life in Morocco and a variety of subjects. The photography on this blog keeps you coming back for more.
  7. Fes Hotels: A disclaimer, we own this site as well, but if you are looking for a basic overview of Fes, and writeups on the various hotels, this site is a good bet.
  8. The Good Life in Marrakech: This is the blog of Riad Zamzam, so it is self promotional, but it has great photographs and information about Morocco and things to do. Worth the read.
  9. The Tangier Telegram: The author is not actively posting anymore, but this blog has great pics and information on Tangier.
  10. Morocco Meanderings: Blog on Various destinations in Morocco.
  11. Moroccan Design: A blog on, you guessed it, Moroccan Design and various destinations in Morocco

For more info, the following forums are a good bet:

  1. Trip Advisor Morocco Forum: I personally don’t like the Trip Advisor site because of the difficulty to navigate, and with Morocco they have listings for hotels and riads running side by side, so it is hard to figure out what is what, but the forum has a wealth of previously asked questions and advice given.
  2. Lonely Planet Morocco Forum: Our only beef with Lonely Planet, is that the info in the guide books can be out of date as far as contact information and who is still in business and whatnot. Their forums are a great source for info though as they are really up to the minute.
  3. Guide Routard Forum (french)- If you are a French speaker, this is a great place to gather information as well and to ask questions.

The following books have information to read on Google Books:

  1. Lonely Planet Morocco (2007): Some out of date information but overall quality is good.
  2. Frommer’s Morocco (2008): Another high quality guide.

For more photo inspiration, Flikr has some great slideshows:

  1. Morocco
  2. Marrakesh
  3. Fez
  4. Essaouira

Hopefully Riad Reviews will be on your list of best Morocco sites :) !
