Choose the Right Riad
A riad, the traditional Moroccan house built around a courtyard, offers an intimacy and authenticity that large hotels cannot match. Seek out riads with rooftop terraces, personal service, and a location that balances the buzz of the medina with a peaceful retreat.
Travel with a Private Chauffeur
Nothing enhances a luxury trip more than dedicated ground transport. A private chauffeur removes every logistical worry, letting you move between cities, sights, and dinners in comfort while a local expert handles the details.
Dine Beyond the Obvious
Morocco's culinary scene ranges from humble street food to refined tasting menus. Ask your concierge or driver for the tables locals cherish, and reserve at least one rooftop dinner and one traditional feast in a hidden riad.
- Book rooftop restaurants for sunset
- Try a home-style cooking experience
- Sample seasonal, regional specialities
- Reserve popular tables well in advance
Pack and Dress Thoughtfully
Lightweight, breathable fabrics work best, with a scarf or light layer for cooler evenings and modest dress for religious sites. Comfortable shoes are essential for the medina's uneven lanes.
Build in Time to Slow Down
The greatest luxury in Morocco is unhurried time: a long lunch, an afternoon in a hammam, or simply tea on a terrace. Resist the urge to overschedule and let the rhythm of the country set the pace.
