i'm collecting real traveler data for a 2026 Morocco travel-cost report. If you visited Morocco recently, how many days were you there, which cities did you visit, and roughly how much did you spend per person?
I won’t collect names or private information. Thanks.

got a whatsapp today from a family wanting marrakech, fes, chefchaouen, merzouga, essaouira. 7 days. i just stared at it for a sec
thats not a trip ....
every family that tells me after --> best trip we ever did <-- did like 3 places. NOT 5. stayed put a few nights. the ones that try to see everything come back tired and honestly kinda mad at morocco which sucks bc morocco didnt do that to them, the schedule did
chefchaouen for an afternoon is instagram. chefchaouen where you actually sleep there and its 7am and nobody's opened yet, thats the real one
if this is your first time bringing kids just.. pick less. i promise you wont sit there missing the city you skipped
happy to help
im looking for a FREE screen recorder for windows, i tried openScreen, Recordly , but some dont have the auto zoom, or some features are paid
marrakech overtourism is a whole conversation rn and i live there so figured i'd actually weigh in instead of just watching ppl argue about it in the comments
it's real btw, not gonna pretend it's not. Jemaa el-fnaa in high season is basicaly times square now, 19.8 million visitors last year which is up 14%, and with the world cup stuff in 2030 its not slowing down. some of my own neighbors got priced out of thier street bc riads keep buying up buildings. so yeah its happening, im not the "actually everything is fine" guy
but honestly the crowding is like.. 4 places. Marrakech medina, Chefchaouen, merzouga dunes, Ait ben haddou. rest of the contry nobody's going. and for familes specifically the quieter spots are just better anyway, less overwhelming for a kid, more room to actually exist without getting swept along
things i send familes instead now: Essaouira instead of doing marrakech as ur main coastal stop, way calmer, kid can actually walk the ramparts without u gripping thier hand in a death squeeze. Middle atlas over chefchaouen if u still want mountain village energy w/o the crowd for a photo. Zagora/m'hamid over merzouga if ur desert dates are peak season, still gorgeous, camp isnt shoulder to shoulder with 40 other tents. Agafay if u dont even have time for the full desert leg, close to Marrakech, basicaly empty compared to the main circuit
anyway point is the overtourism thing is a marketing problem, everyone books the same 6 towns off the same 5 blog posts. Moroccos big, most of it is dead quiet. ask me dates/ages and ill tell u what to swap
Hi everyone,
I built a free Downloader Codes directory to make finding codes for Fire TV and Android TV apps easier.
You can:
The directory is community-driven, so votes and corrections help keep expired or incorrect codes from appearing first.
I would appreciate honest feedback. Is the search useful? Are there any apps or working codes that should be added?
Please only download apps from publishers and sources you trust.
morocco just announced a heatwave warning. if you're traveling here soon or already here, some things worth knowing.
the coast is okay. essaouira, agadir, tangier. but fes, marrakech, meknes get to 42-45°c in the afternoon. no wind. just heat.
go out early. 6:30-7am. come back by 11. rest. go out again at 4:30pm. this is how people here actually live in july.
chefchaouen is cooler, worth going there if you have options. fes medina has no air in the small streets, morning only. merzouga at midday is a bad idea.
if you feel bad already: mint tea with sugar, wet cloth on neck. works better than cold water.
SO PLEASE BE CARFULL
hey, glad you found this place.
r/tomorocco is a community for everyone who has a thing for Morocco ...locals, travelers, diaspora, people who've never been but keep thinking about it. all of you are welcome here.
share your photos, your stories, your questions, your hidden spots ... the real stuff, not the brochure version. if you've been here you know what I mean.
only rule that matters is be decent to each other. everything else we'll figure out as we go.
drop a comment below ... tell us where you're from or what brought you to Morocco. curious to know who's in here.
let's make this worth coming back to.
the 5 day morocco trip report is always the same one and I'm tired. you know the one. Marrakech was overwhelmming the Sahara drive was long, Chefchaouen was .. pretty but touristy, .. you came home tired, you gave it a 6.
I'm not mad at you I m mad at whoever sold you that itinerary. because what you actually did was sit in a van. that's the trip. the trip was the van.
think about it. day one you land at 3, by 6 you're in jemaa el-fna which is genuinely one of the most chaotic public spaces on the planet, someone tries to hand you a monkey, welcome to morocco. then it's 9 hours in a seat the next morning to merzouga (and yeah it's 9, not the 6 google told you, there's roadworks between tinghir and rissani that nobody updates). camel for an hour, tent, camel back, seven more hours the next day to fes. you get to fes and you're done. you're just done. you walk around the medina for an afternoon in a fog and fly home from casa.
that's not Morocco that's a bus tour of a map of Morocco.
give the country 10 days and it becomes a completely different place. two nights in marrakech instead of one, you can actually sit in a café and watch the square instead of being attacked by it. aït benhaddou with a stop in ouarzazate. two nights in the desert not one (the second night is the one, the first you're just recovering from the drive). a village in the atlas nobody's posted about. THEN fes, with energy, which fes requires or it eats you.
look I know nobody has PTO. I know. honestly if you've got 5 days go to andalusia, it's built for 5 days, morocco isn't. or do just marrakech and essaouira and skip the desert entirely, that's a real 5-day trip. the rushed loop is the one that ruins it.
anyone who did 10+ days here tell me I'm right. anyone who did 5 and loved it, genuinely what was the itinerary, I want to know.
reposted from an old post
the set for troy in “the odyssey” (2026) was built in morocco at aït benhaddou near the atlas mountains and covered 110,000 square feet, large enough to accomodate over 2000 extras and more than 60 structures, including the temple of athena, hand-built staircases, big city gates and even 15 full-grown olive trees that were craned onto the set to help bring the city to life.
additionally, for the castle of ithaca, they filmed in italy on the island of favignana at a 15th-century castle more than 1,000 feet above sea level. italy’s council of culture wouldn’t let the production build an access road to the historic castle, so the cast and crew, including christopher nolan himself, had to hike up the mountain 45 minutes every morning in full costume to reach odysseus’ palace. the production eventually built an airlift and even used helicopters to get to the castle faster and to transport equipment.
the cyclops cave also wasn’t a set, but was filmed inside nestor’s cave in greece, a real cavern that’s been used by humans since prehistoric times and has long been connected to several greek myths.
