So, what is there to do in Morocco? Tons and tons of adventurous, invigorating, culture-shocking activities. Here are some things you need to do if you find yourself in Morocco: 

Outdoor Excursions

ATV On Africa’s Sandy Plains

There are a few ways to purchase ATVs in Morocco, and activities include riding on organization circuits in the desert, taking a 2 day buggy Safari, or booking a spot on the Marrakech Desert & Palm Grove Bike Tour. While a little bit of training may be required by a certified instructor, these excursions are a fun and exciting way to experience Morocco’s desert lands. 

Explore Morocco’s Mountains

Morocco’s high Atlas region is full of breathtaking mountainous scenery, full of rich culture and historical districts. Jebel Toubkal is the highest peak in Morocco, stretching to about 4,167 meters above sea level.
