Morocco's Best Attractions
Gardens, mosques, and UNESCO ruins — and what's actually worth the entry fee.
The essentials: Jardin Majorelle and Bahia Palace in Marrakech, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca (one of the only mosques in Morocco non-Muslims can enter), Ait Benhaddou's UNESCO kasbah on the road to the desert, and the Roman ruins at Volubilis near Meknes. Entry fees run roughly 70-200 MAD ($7-20). Arrive at opening (8-9am) to beat both the heat and the tour-bus crowds.
Morocco has no shortage of postcard sights — the honest question is which ones earn a slot in a short trip. Here's the direct version: what's genuinely worth it, what to skip, and current 2026 prices.
