Morocco 🇲🇦

Marrakech & Fes

Morocco is one of the world's most enchanting visa-free destinations for Filipinos — exotic, affordable, and endlessly photogenic. Lose yourself in the colorful souks of Marrakech, ride camels into the Sahara dunes at Merzouga, wander the blue alleys of Chefchaouen, and explore medieval Fes. Moroccan food (tagines, mint tea, fresh pastries) is a highlight on its own.

With kids

Kids love camel rides and desert camps. Souks can be intense — keep a tight hand. Tagine food is generally mild and appealing.

With seniors

Riads (guesthouses) offer authentic comfort. Medina streets are narrow and uneven — pack proper shoes. Hire guides to navigate Fes/Marrakech medinas.
