Hello Morocco! This one’s special, it’s our very first blog for Morocco, and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off than with New Year’s Eve.
If you’re planning to celebrate NYE in Morocco and wondering about the best places to watch New Year’s Eve fireworks, you’re in the right place. Welcoming 2026 here isn’t just about counting down the seconds. It’s about the atmosphere, ocean views, old city backdrops, rooftop nights, and that effortless balance between calm and celebration that Morocco does so beautifully.
Here’s where people usually gather (and why each spot works), whether you’re going all out or keeping things simple and low-key.
Where to Watch NYE Fireworks in Morocco 2026
Casablanca: Corniche & Ain Diab
Casablanca is one of the safest bets if you want proper NYE energy. The Corniche and Ain Diab areas often light up around midnight, especially near beachfront hotels and clubs.
Even if you’re not at a ticketed event, the vibe is lively, cars pulling over, people counting down together, music floating from nearby venues. Grab a spot near the beach, bring snacks, and enjoy the moment.
Marrakech: Rooftops Near Jemaa El Fna
Marrakech doesn’t always do big public fireworks, but here’s the secret: the rooftops.
Around Jemaa El Fna and the Medina, many riads, restaurants, and lounges host NYE dinners with rooftop access. When the clock hits midnight, you’ll often see fireworks from hotels and private events across the city lighting up the sky.
It feels intimate, warm, and honestly magical, especially with the call to prayer echoing softly in the background.
Tangier: Corniche & Marina Area
Tangier is underrated for New Year’s Eve. The Corniche and Marina area usually attract crowds hoping for fireworks over the water, with Spain twinkling across the sea.
Some years are quieter than others, but when fireworks happen, the setting makes it worth it, cool air, ocean breeze, and a relaxed crowd that feels more “let’s enjoy this” than “let’s rush.”
Agadir: Beachfront Promenade
Agadir is another solid option if you’re after open space and beach vibes. Fireworks are often tied to hotel celebrations, but many people gather along the beachfront promenade to catch whatever lights up the sky.
Even if fireworks are modest, the countdown atmosphere is fun, music, families, friends, and that holiday feel in the air.
Rabat: Bouregreg & Waterfront Areas
Rabat keeps things elegant and calm. Fireworks aren’t guaranteed every year, but waterfront spots near the Bouregreg River and Salé often draw people hoping to catch hotel or event displays nearby.
It’s less about spectacle and more about starting the year peacefully, with good company and a great view.
A Friendly Tip Before You Go
Fireworks in Morocco can vary year to year and are often hotel- or event-led rather than massive public shows. If fireworks are a must, staying near a major hotel zone or booking an NYE dinner with a view is your safest bet.
If not? Just bring good people, comfy shoes, and let the night surprise you.
