Hire a car in Morocco
Morocco is a country of diverse contrasts and a cultural dynamism.
It has long fascinated travellers, stirring up dreamy images of colourful markets and sweeping landscapes. While Morocco can be hectic, it is also a true desert oasis. Getting lost in the country’s old towns – medinas – indulging in its flavourful food, and lounging on the beach will surely awaken your senses.
Road tripping this beautiful country can seem intimidating at first glance, but it’s an experience unlike any other.

Driving tips
Horns and honking
In Morocco, horns are used to signal anything and everything, from “get out of my way” to “thanks for letting me pass”. The language of car honking is common, you’ll catch on soon enough.
Local driving etiquette
Locals tend to have a heavy foot on the gas pedal, be aggressive tailgaters and drive down the middle of the road. Be a confident, yet cautious and defensive driver, rather than trying to do as the locals do.
Obstacles
There’s no shortage of obstacles you’ll have to keep an eye out for and share the road with. Donkeys, camels, carts and motorbikes weave through traffic as they please, just as pedestrians and goats cross the roads at inconvenient times.
Tolls
There are several toll roads connecting the country’s major cities, including Casablanca, Rabat and Tangier. They are on a pay-per-use basis and offer an efficient, quick commute.
Casablanca
Undiscovered Morocco
Morocco’s biggest city, Casablanca, is less a chilled-out tourist destinatio, perhaps as fast-paced as a commercial capital.
Places to discover:
Hassan II Mosque
The largest mosque in the world, it took 6,000 Moroccan artisans five years to complete. Its intricate design and architecture is a marvel.
Hamman
This traditional type of steam bath and scrub is an ideal experience to enjoy in this busy city, where you’ll certainly need a meditation break.
Top tip: With the Atlantic providing a cooling breeze, Casablanca’s climate is mild all year round.
Moroccan cities to explore
Fez
Location: Northeast
Top attractions: Medersa Bou Inania, built in the 14th century, is one of Morocco’s most prestigious examples of Marinid architecture – one of Morocco’s former dynasties. It is also one of the city’s few religious buildings open to non-muslims, where you can admire the carved woodwork, mosaics and stucco designs.
Nearby drive: Located 70km from Fez in the Middle Atlas Mountains, its triangular alpine-style architecture and nearby ski slopes can easily have you forget you’re in North Africa.
Oujda
Location: East
Top attractions: Sidi Yahya is an important religious site for Muslims, Jews and Christians alike. It is regarded as the resting place of John the Baptist and is best visited during August and September, when pilgrims flock here for an annual festival.
Nearby drive: Situated 60km from Oujda, the Beni Snassen Mountains are an impressive site. These limestone mountains reach heights of around 1,500 metres and are both geologically and historically significant.
Tangier
Location: North
Top attractions: Tangier’s beaches are what spurred the city’s illustrious fame during the 1960s. Though swimming isn’t highly recommended as the water is no longer very clean, it’s worth sinking your toes into the sand and breathing in the salty air.
Nearby drive: Chefchaouen, nicknamed the blue pearl of Morocco for it’s striking blue buildings, has become a popular tourist town. Snuggled in the mountains, Chefchaouen is a photographer’s paradise. Climb any of the nearby hills to appreciate the town from above.

Marrakesh
An exotic city

Saadian Tombs – These well-preserved tombs display exceptional mosaics and are surrounded by tranquil gardens.
Top tip: English is well understood in Marrakech, however, its helpful and a nice gesture to try and speak Arabic or French with the locals, even if it’s just a friendly hello (assalamu alaikum).
