Morocco offers something for everyone: bustling cities, soaring mountains, beautiful beaches and, of course, the desert. A fabulous fusion of Africa and Arabia, Morocco is a true delight to the senses, where you’ll be enchanted by spice markets and a kaleidoscope of colours. Known as the Red City thanks to its rose-coloured 12th century walls, Marrakech is alive with energy. Its souks are the real draw here: pyramids of spices, snake charmers and colourful carpets all beg to be discovered. There are plenty of opportunities to relax, too, as the city is also home to a variety of picturesque royal gardens.
If you’re looking for a laid back beach vibe, head to Essaouira, where you’ll find an amazing dining scene and a picturesque fishing harbour. Alternatively, head south to discover the Atlas Mountains - a staggering mountain range which spans across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Here, you’ll find snow capped peaks, awe inspiring valleys and one of the only ski resorts in Africa.
