envy4u Posted June 13 #1 Share Posted June 13 First time to Morocco. Need suggestions of things to see and do. We dock in Casablanca in November. Is it worth going to Marrakech or just stay in Casablanca. Heard it is a long way, 2-3 hours? Anyway doing this on your own? Can anyone have a reasonably priced tour guide if this is not possible. We arrive early morning and are there till midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamietravelstheworld Posted June 13 #2 Share Posted June 13 Marrakesh is way more interesting than Casablanca but not sure you can do it as a day tour from Casablanca. If there's an option for Marrakesh and you're willing to do the drive, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is of any interest to you, passengers on our sailing on private tours and also the shorex, did not go to Marrakesh I think due to the distance. They instead went to RABAT, the capital of Morocco. There are very few past threads for Rabat but maybe one or two would be helpful https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=rabat&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=19 Casablanca https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=casablanca&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=19 Marrakesh there is almost nothing, perhaps with good reason? https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=marrakesh&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joiedevivre Posted August 2 #4 Share Posted August 2 I went on a day tour with Holland to Marrakech. Very doable with good roads. Great lunch at beautiful hotel . Go if you have opportunity. Also did private tour with driver, but this was many years ago . Moroccans in general are very nice and gentle people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
