The verdict

For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Norway leans nature + mountain, while Morocco leans cultural + nature. Morocco wins on value (~$75/day mid-range vs $230/day in Norway), but Norway tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.
