Pick your base city (fast decision guide)
- Rabat: capital, central for many matches, calmer nights.
- Casablanca: biggest city, wide hotel choice, strong nightlife.
- Tangier: north gateway, sea + wind + cinematic coast.
- Fez: deep heritage + medina storytelling.
- Marrakech: iconic tourism city, perfect for first-timers.
- Agadir: beach base and relaxed pace.
Transport between host cities
For most visitors, trains are the easiest way to connect cities. The Al Boraq high‑speed line serves the north‑west corridor (e.g., Tangier ↔ Kenitra ↔ Rabat ↔ Casablanca).
For long jumps (e.g., Agadir ↔ Tangier), consider flights or overnight combinations depending on your schedule.
Hotel booking strategy (avoid stress)
- Book near transport hubs or stadium zones only if you can handle crowds.
- Use flexible cancellation until your match plan is locked.
- On match nights: prioritize walkability or guaranteed transport back.
- Families: pick quieter neighborhoods; fans: pick central lively areas.
FAQ
For atmosphere: yes. For logistics on matchdays: sometimes better to stay in the modern/new town and visit the medina in daylight.
