We are so glad you have considered choosing Morocco as a destination where you can start the new year of 2024 and say goodbye to the year 2023.
Whether 2023 was wonderful, terrible, or a combination of the two, you should take some time to celebrate the victories. In light of this, take a moment to read this article to find out the many ways to spend New Year’s Eve in Morocco.
On New Year’s Eve, people from all around the world go to Morocco to celebrate the new year. In Morocco, New Year’s celebrations are spectacular moments filled with excitement, enchantment, and generosity, with fireworks, lightning ropes, and carnations scattered across the streets, residences, public spaces, gardens, and hotels to welcome the new beginning of opportunities.
New Year’s Eve in Ifrane
If skiing is your thing, you should try the slopes of Ifrane. While American and European ski locations are pricey in the winter, this is Morocco’s off-season, so rates are substantially lower. Moroccan ski resorts, unlike American ski resorts, do not manufacture artificial snow, therefore skiing conditions are entirely reliant on natural factors. Ski lessons, rentals, chairlifts, and run complexity vary on every ski hill.
Ifrane is simply magical all winter season round. However, it really comes to life on New Year’s Eve. In Ifrane, New Year’s Eve celebrations include fireworks, fresh snow, and piste-side parties. At this time of year, many resorts go all out, so you may spend all day on the slopes before dining, dancing, seeing shows, and participating in local traditions.
To kick off the New Year’s Eve party, there isn’t a better moment to ski than around midnight when fireworks light up the slopes and fresh mountain air fills your lungs on the first day of the New Year. Cozy up in a chalet and gaze out your balcony at the lit slopes, experience the high life in a hotel, or party late into the night in some of Ifrane and Michlifen’s best ski resorts.
New Year’s Eve in Chefchaouen
Chefchaouen is one of Morocco’s most stunning tourist destinations. It has some extremely lovely and appealing locations where you can take some of the greatest selfies.

Every corner has a different shade of blue, a different paint shop, and another local going about their business. Stumbling over modest stores with the kindest proprietors, finding oneself in the middle of youngsters playing games in the streets, or finding yourself outside of a small elementary school and overhearing a choir practice
