Morocco

Morocco Holiday

Morocco is the tantalising lower lip on the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, a Muslim land so rich in mystique it seems to hover like a magic carpet somewhere between myth and reality. Just the names of cities and towns such as Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakech should stir a hint of spice in the nostrils of the most geographically challenged.

Morocco is the ideal starting point for the traveller to Africa. It can be a friendly, hectic and stimulating place to get around in. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, and jewellery. The country's prime produce is leather - said to be the softest in the world.

A colourful culture, fascinating history and endless golden beaches, only three hours away. Stay in palatial new resorts, private riads, small family-run boutique hotels, kasbahs and even Bedouin tents!

Explore the souqs, palaces and gardens of the imperial cities, unwind at a host of excellent beach resorts, or join an escorted tour and discover the historical and scenic gems. Magical experiences include Sahara and Atlas Mountains safaris.
