Natural Wonders of Morocco: The 4 Most Beautiful Places to Visit
4 places in the atlas
Morocco spans a remarkable range in a short distance: snow-capped Atlas peaks, fertile valleys and palm-shaded oases, and, to the southeast, the edge of the Sahara — the largest hot desert on Earth. At Erg Chebbi, wind has piled sand into towering dunes that glow at dawn and dusk, fed by hidden fossil aquifers that surface as oases. Beyond the dunes lie some of the darkest, clearest night skies anywhere. Below are the 4 natural wonders of Morocco in the atlas — the most beautiful places to build a trip around, each with what makes it remarkable, when to go, and how to reach it. Best overall time: October to April for tolerable desert temperatures and clear, cool nights; summer in the Sahara is dangerously hot.
