Best place for honeymooners in Morocco?

Egypt

hmmmm wow really Morocco has many wonder places and each is unique. Me personally i say that they may be interested in renting a riad in Marrakesh and if they find the right one it can be very very romantic. I personally like Ifran. It is in the mountains; a little cold there but it is sooo small and so cute and peaceful. Stay away from the major cities like Casablanca unless you just want to visit the Hassan Mosque which is the second largest Mosque in the world. I have never been to the North but i hear that places like Essouria and Tangier are nice. Hope that helped.

How about the 'Roseraie Hotel' in Ouirgane, Morocco? It's in one big Rose-garden. My wife and I went there last year.....quiet, romantic, no screaming kids...wonderful..
Here are some photos for her to look at:-

I would say Marrakech

Two of the most peaceful places in Morocco are Essaouira and Asilah. Both are on the Atlantic coast. Asilah is small and very picturesque, and close enough to Tangier if they want to do some exploring, the train station is about a mile from town. Essaouira is larger, has some fish restaurants and a nice beach, a large bazaar, thuya wood shops, places sell argan oil and is an artistic place. Both places offer many photographic opportunities.

Fez is pretty cheap in comparrison to marrakech. it is also smaller and more managble. it has alot of history. used to be the Capital of morocco. The founder of morocco Molay Idriss 1st and his son Bought islam to morocco and established it there. They also made Fez the spiritual and intellectual capital of the world. There Graves are well visisted places as Idriss was the great grandson of the Muhammed the prophet. They also have the largest tanniers in morocco, youc an go see them work and smell it too (hehehe) they have the old royal palace which is now a museum with lots of goodies inside only 2dirhems to get in.
They also have the Kings palace there you cant go inside but you can get a peek into the palace from the hill side.
Also they have the first ever university in the world, its the oldest and its FREEEE to get in. It has gorgeous courtyards and architecture inside. from outside it is a plain Red earth buildign but inside is beautiful.

They ahve the Old kasbah, also knwon as fez balia (Old) and new fez, Fez jdid. its quiet easy to get to each location.
When we went we stayed at the closest Hotel to the train station which is 2 mins walk from our hotel. we stayed at IBIS. and it was lovely, air con, breakfast was nice, buffet style, swimming pool.

They have a 5 star hotel which is GEORGOUSSSS which is about 15mins away from the station. but very pricey.
Ibis was affordable for us and it was great service.
Good transport too. right outside the hotel is taxi ranks and bus stops.
Having french is good. but you will be suprised by the amount of english speaking people.

Beware of men in the market who latch onto you, they will show you around and be all nice and do a great job but they are not doing it for free, dotn forget.
I am moroccan and when i went there i felt like a tourist and peopel tryed to sell us crap and show us about. LOL

Anyway, Fez is pretty safe. they have pick pocktes but you wont find any iolent crimes or be abused. Just pick pockets, so make sure tehy wear money belts.
I know this sounds bad but the less they look like tourists the better, they will not be bothered to much.

I love Fez i shall be returing soon i hope. Marrekch is next on my list now iv seen fez thats the next step.

Actually they have riads in the old city. They are traditonal court yard style hotels in the small narrow streets, they are failry cheap. but no air con. thats if they want a proper moroccan experince. and when they step out onto the streets they are in the heart of old Fez kasbah. I would stay there next time round.
There are pleanty of cheap restuarnts in the city. pizza places. but in old fez they will cook you authentic morocan food. My mother is the best moroccan cook but i have to admit some places are in competion with her cooking hehehe. and liek i said very cheap to have a 3 course meal out in old fez.

Congrats wo your daughter and son in law. Hope they enjoy morocco and find our people welcoming, we are tooo friendly sometimes. lol But we mean no harm just how we are.

I would certainly look at arranging a Riad, they are beautiful, romantic, and different. They could look at doing a 2/3 day tour that would take in different areas such as Fes, where there is the World Heritage site - Medina Fes El Bali, Marrakech, Essaouira, Casablanca. They could look to stay overnight in a Bedouin tent if they want a bit of adventure....

There are some beautiful Riads and hotels in Morocco, and are reasonable priced. They could always look to add the honeymoon to the wedding list.... and/or include excursions and tours that they may be interested in.

If you would like more info, feel free to contact me.

Ifran , Tanger , Marrakech There the best Ifran Snows Alot And At The Moment Is Snowing Alot Tanger Lovely Beaches Marrakech Nice Hotels More cultral than the others lovely food Fez is also quite nice loads of mosques

Essaouira is very nice and has lots to see , its very old has lots to do great history easy to find your way around and is also very friendly, accommodation to suit all pockets , as your daughter is a photographer she will find it interesting .they can also travel to many of the surrounding towns . i would not recommend Casablanca its just another very dirty big city marrakesh is ok for a day or two but again its a big dirty city, agadir is a nice place but if they do not have a lot of money it is a bit expensive ,

Asilah is a small and romantic little town, thats where I spent my honeymoon...but go in the off season...its quiet and cheaper. Mohammadia is also a very nice little town. The other large cities that others mentioned are great places to visit but I dont recomment them for honeymooners because the big cities are lively crazy places, unless you have a long trip and can take it different environments. As a general rule the middle and south of the country and more friendly and inviting than the northern areas.

Club Valtur, Agadir, Morocco: Glamorous, exotic, comfortable, warm--and yet only $949 or $1,099 per person for the week, including round-trip air fare from New York, all three meals daily, unlimited wine, all sports facilities: We start with a stunning bargain, but at a sophisticated and rather elegant, Italian-managed resort on the west coast of Morocco, a part of the growing, Italian challenge to the French Club Meds. "Valtur" hotels are operated like Club
Meds in that they are totally all-inclusive: you receive everything (room, meals, activities) for one set price. But the staff here is Italian, the cuisine Italian (one resort lists 30 varieties of pasta on its menu), the service Italian and superb, and there's none of the emphasis on an unmarried, single clientele that's found at some Club Meds. sentimental and caring Italian staff, anxious to establish their resort in the American market, you'll enjoy a honeymoon of swimming, sailing, and remarkable sightseeing of Morocco, in as luxurious a setting as you'd wish, but at an unprecedented bargain price. Ask for the brochure.

Nice trip

i would say agadir

The BEST place for honeymooners is Ksar Massa. But if they like to be on the move it's best to probably keep base in Marrakech and move around from there.

Casablanca is more westernised than anywhere else and you get hassled a lot less. In Morocco you will get hassled trust me. Marrakesh is nice and the High Atlas mountains are awesome.
Personally I wouldnt go there again but if thats what they want.....
