Where to stay

Hotels, riads, apartments: what to choose and when to book.

Book early

Accommodation will be in very high demand during the World Cup, especially near Casablanca and Rabat. Book as soon as you know your matches, preferably with free cancellation.

Types of accommodation

  • Riad: a traditional house built around a courtyard, often turned into a small hotel with a few rooms, a rooftop and breakfast. Typical of Marrakech and Fes. Very charming, but medina access may involve walking with luggage.
  • Hotels: from simple to luxury international chains, especially in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir and Tangier.
  • Apartments: available on booking platforms; check location and reviews carefully.
  • Resorts: Agadir, Marrakech's Palmeraie, Tangier's Malabata.
  • Camps & eco-lodges: Agafay desert near Marrakech, Atlas mountains.

Good to know

  • Hotels must record your passport details on check-in.
  • Under Moroccan law, hotels may ask for a marriage certificate when a couple includes a Moroccan citizen. This normally does not apply to two foreign visitors.
  • Air conditioning is essential in Marrakech and Fes in summer; check it before booking.
  • Tourist tax (taxe de séjour) is often added per person per night.
