The Best Photography Spots in Morocco

Omar Benali · 7 min · Photography

From dune ridgelines at dawn to the doorways of Chefchaouen, Morocco is built for photographers.

Erg Chebbi’s dune ridgelines at sunrise and sunset are Morocco’s signature shot — arrive early to catch untouched sand and soft light before footprints and other visitors appear.

Chefchaouen’s blue medina rewards slow, early-morning walks; look for repeating doorways, cats on stairwells, and the contrast of potted plants against painted walls.

Aït Ben Haddou glows warm gold in late-afternoon light, especially shot from across the riverbed looking up at the full ksar silhouette.

In the souks of Marrakech and Fes, ask permission before photographing vendors and artisans — a small purchase or a genuine conversation usually opens the door to a much better portrait.
