We cover every major destination across Morocco — from ancient imperial cities and blue-washed mountain towns, to the windswept Atlantic coast and the vast golden silence of the Sahara.

We also cover logistics: how to arrive, get around, and exactly how much to budget — updated regularly to stay accurate.

We started DIY in Morocco because we couldn't find the resource we wished had existed for our own trips. Seven years later, it's become the most trusted independent Morocco travel guide online.
100% Independent & Honest
We never accept payment for recommendations. Every riad, restaurant, and guide we suggest is based purely on our own experience and community feedback.
Always Current & Accurate
Morocco changes quickly. We update our guides with current prices, transport options, and border rules so you're never working from outdated information.
Your Safety Is Our Priority
From solo female travel to family road trips, our guides address safety openly — including scam awareness, emergency contacts, and areas to avoid.
A Community Behind You
Join thousands of travellers in our active community. Ask questions, share experiences, and get last-minute advice from others just back from your destination.
