Morocco’s Top 10 Natural Wonders Showcase Diverse Landscapes

• 180 km from Ouarzazate, the Todgha Gorges, nicknamed the "Grand Canyon of Morocco," impress with their dizzying limestone cliffs reaching 300 meters high. A paradise for climbers and hikers, they offer an exceptional panorama of the Tinghir valley and palm grove. However, the publication warns of sudden floods in case of heavy rains.

• Change of scenery with the White Dune in Dakhla, an immaculate dune that seems to float on the turquoise waters of the lagoon. A renowned kitesurfing spot, this site is discovered at low tide, when the fiddler crabs take possession of the place. At 10 meters high, the dune offers a breathtaking view of the lagoon, classified as a wetland of international importance.

• The Erg Chebbi, with its majestic dunes in shades of pink and orange, is a must for desert lovers. Accessible by car, it is ideal for a first experience in the Sahara, especially during a camel trek with a bivouac. To avoid the crowds, it is better to visit during the low season.

• The Ouzoud Falls, 150 km from Marrakech, are the most spectacular in Morocco. Falling 110 meters in three tiers, they offer a fascinating spectacle of iridescent droplets in the sun. One tip: avoid feeding the Barbary macaques, an endangered species.

• The Legzira beach, south of Agadir, seduces with its ocher sand, blue waters, and reddish cliffs. Despite the disappearance of one of its two arches, the site remains a privileged place for walks. Caution is advised during swimming, as the currents can be strong.

• In the Talassemtane Natural Park, near Chefchaouen, the Bridge of God is a natural arch worth a visit. A hike allows you to discover this site and the richness of the surrounding flora and fauna.

• The Caves of Hercules, 14 km from Tangier, are a place steeped in legends. These natural cavities offer a breathtaking view of the ocean, with an opening that draws the map of Africa in reverse.

• The Mastfrane Cathedral, in the High Atlas central, is a rocky block that evokes the shape of a church. The ascent of this summit offers a breathtaking panorama of the SIBE de Tamga, an ornithological reserve home to a hundred bird species.

• More difficult to access, the Erg Chigaga, a 40 km long dune massif, is reached by 4x4 from M’Hamid. A camel trek with a bivouac allows you to immerse yourself in this grandiose desert, with dunes that can reach 300 meters in height.

• Finally, the Naïla lagoon, in the heart of the Khnifiss National Park, is a unique ecosystem where sand dunes and eroded cliffs coexist. This ornithological sanctuary welcomes more than 25,000 migratory birds each year.
