If you’ve been daydreaming about a vacation filled with vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and a little sprinkle of magic, let me introduce you to a gem: Morocco. This North African beauty has everything—desert adventures, colorful souks, beachy chill vibes, and food that will live rent-free in your mind forever.

Planning a girls’ trip? Morocco checks all the boxes: culture, great food, good vibes, photo-worthy spots, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re into hammam spa days, sipping mint tea in hidden courtyards, or camel trekking into the sunset, there’s a city here that will fit your vibe.

Here are 5 Moroccan cities perfect for you and your besties:

1. Marrakech – For the Bold & Beautiful

Marrakech is a full-sensory experience—bold, buzzing, and unapologetically alive.

Wander the chaotic charm of Jemaa el-Fnaa, haggle for spices and handmade rugs in the medina, or get lost in the beauty of the Majorelle Garden (YSL lovers, this one’s for you). Plus, the rooftop lounges and riads here are straight out of a Pinterest board.

👜 Best for: Shopping, vibrant nightlife, stunning architecture
💡 Tip: Dress modestly but fashionably—think long flowy dresses and lightweight scarves. Oh, and carry small cash for the souks!

2. Essaouira – For the Chill Queens

Wind in your hair, sea breeze in your lungs, and seagulls flying overhead—Essaouira is the beach town Morocco whispers about.

It’s relaxed, artsy, and perfect if you need a breather from the Marrakech madness. You’ll find beautiful coastal views, fresh seafood, and quiet alleys with art galleries and boho shops. It’s got that "let’s do nothing and love it" energy.

🌊 Best for: Beach walks, hammam spa days, art & ocean vibes
💡 Tip: Bring a windbreaker—it gets breezy! And don’t leave without trying grilled sardines from a street vendor.

3. Chefchaouen – For the Aesthetic Obsessed

You’ve seen the photos—this city is that dreamy blue one. Chefchaouen is like stepping into a fairy tale. Every wall, staircase, and door is painted in calming shades of blue. It’s serene, slow-paced, and ridiculously photogenic.

Bring your besties, your flowiest outfit, and your phone fully charged.

📸 Best for: Picture-perfect moments, quiet walks, meaningful convos
💡 Tip: It’s a bit tucked away in the mountains, so wear comfy shoes and embrace the slower vibe. Bonus: It’s super safe and chill.

4. Fes – For the Culture-Lovers

If you and your girls love to soak up history and tradition, Fes will feel like time-travel. It’s a little less touristy than Marrakech but full of raw, authentic Moroccan energy.

Explore the ancient medina (UNESCO certified!), visit the University of Al Quaraouiyine (the world’s oldest university, founded by a woman 👏), and get a little lost—on purpose.

📚 Best for: Cultural deep dives, historical tours, getting off the beaten path
💡 Tip: Hire a guide for your first day to make the medina feel less maze-like. And yes, the leather tannery smell is real—bring a scarf!

5. Merzouga – For the Desert Dreamers

Ready for your Sahara moment? Merzouga is your gateway to golden sand dunes, star-filled skies, and those magical camel rides at sunset.

You’ll sleep in luxury desert camps (yes, with showers), dance around fire pits, and wake up to sunrises that honestly feel like a spiritual reset. If you and your girls are craving something soulful, this is it.

🏜 Best for: Desert glamping, bonding moments, unforgettable landscapes
💡 Tip: Pack warm layers—the desert gets cold at night. And bring a journal. Trust me.

A Few Real Talk Tips:

  • Dress modestly, but make it fashion. Maxi dresses, loose jumpsuits, and scarves are your besties.

  • Public affection is a no-go. Keep it lowkey, respectful, and you’ll be golden.

  • Stick together at night and stay in riads or hotels with good reviews.

  • Learn a few phrases in French or Arabic—even a little effort goes a long way.

  • And above all: trust your gut, travel smart, and stay curious.

Morocco will give you memories for a lifetime, whether you're sipping mint tea under bougainvillea, dancing in the dunes, or laughing with your girls over tagine at sunset.

Let’s get into Morocco outfit ideas for your girls' trip — ones that are cute, Instagrammable, respectful of the culture, and comfy enough to explore in. The key here is modest chic: think loose, breathable fabrics, flowy silhouettes, and stylish layers.

☀️ GENERAL STYLE TIPS:

  • No need to cover your hair, but covering shoulders, cleavage, and knees is a sign of respect.

  • Light fabrics like linen, cotton, and rayon will keep you cool and stylish.

  • Layers are your best friend — mornings and nights can be chilly, especially in the desert.

  • Bring a scarf or two — it can double as a head wrap, shawl, or even a beach cover-up.

OUTFIT IDEAS BY VIBE
