If you'd like to extend your stay before or after the official trip (at your own expense), we've gathered a few destination ideas to help you make the most of your time in Morocco.

Casablanca

Morocco's modern powerhouse combines contemporary energy with cultural heritage. Highlights include striking Art Deco architecture, the seaside Corniche, and the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest in the world. A short stay here reveals a city where tradition and modernity meet, from lively neighborhoods to a vibrant dining scene.

Fez

Often described as Morocco's spiritual and intellectual heart, Fez is home to the world's largest living medieval medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Narrow lanes bustle with artisans, markets, and hidden courtyards, while the city's surrounding landscapes reveal vineyards, countryside cuisine, and nearby historic sites such as Meknes and Volubilis.
