Beyond the bustling souks and imperial palaces lies a land of dramatic geological contrasts. If you are planning your 7 Days in Morocco, make sure to include these 10 natural wonders in your itinerary.
1. Erg Chebbi (Merzouga)
The quintessential Sahara experience. These towering, apricot-colored sand dunes reach heights of 150 meters. As we discussed in our guide to Discover Merzouga, the best way to experience this wonder is through a sunset camel trek and a night under the stars.
2. Todra Gorge (Tinghir)
Known as the “Cathedral of Stone,” these massive limestone cliffs rise 300 meters vertically. Whether you are a rock climber or a hiker, the Natural Beauty of the Todra Gorge offers a cooling escape and some of the most dramatic landscapes in the Atlas.
3. Ouzoud Waterfalls (Azilal)
The highest waterfalls in North Africa. Cascading 110 meters into a lush valley, it’s a verdant oasis where you’ll often find wild Barbary Macaques playing in the olive trees near the spray.
4. Legzira Beach (Sidi Ifni)
Famous for its massive, natural red sandstone arches carved by the Atlantic Ocean. It is arguably the most dramatic coastline in Africa, where the desert orange meets the deep blue sea.
5. Mount Toubkal (High Atlas)
The roof of North Africa. Standing at 4,167 meters, it offers a challenging trek with panoramic views. On a clear day, you can see across the mountain range all the way to the edges of the Sahara.
6. The Rif Mountains (Chefchaouen)
While the town is famous for its blue-washed walls, the surrounding peaks are a hiker’s paradise. If you are wondering Is the Blue City Worth a Day Trip?, the answer lies in the stunning mountain trails and springs that surround it.
7. Dades Valley (The Valley of Figs)
Adjacent to the Todra Gorge, Dades Valley is famous for its “Monkey Fingers” rock formations and the world-renowned hair-pin bends that offer a bird’s-eye view of the canyon.
8. Paradise Valley (Agadir)
A hidden palm-lined canyon filled with natural turquoise rock pools. It’s a bohemian favorite for cliff jumping and swimming in crystal-clear mountain water.
9. Essaouira’s Atlantic Coast
Where the wind shapes the soul of the land. Beyond the Secret Art Scene of Essaouira, the wild Atlantic beaches and dunes offer a raw, powerful look at Morocco’s coastal beauty.
10. The Dragon Island (Dakhla)
In the far south, where the Sahara meets the Atlantic. A stunning white-sand lagoon perfect for kitesurfing, with turquoise waters teeming with dolphins and migratory birds.
