Six days is not enough to experience all that Morocco has to offer. Depending on the areas you want to explore, you may need more than six days. Morocco is a large country with a variety of cities and attractions to experience. There are desert areas, beaches, mountain villages, ancient ruins, and more.

What does the desert offer to visitors?

The desert offers a wide range of activities for visitors to enjoy. These include camping, hiking, rock climbing, bird watching, stargazing, and photography. Other activities such as off-roading and exploring slot canyons are popular in desert regions. There are also plenty of opportunities to explore the natural landscape, observe wildlife, and enjoy spectacular views of the night sky.
