Morocco is sensational. The coming together of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Morocco boasts a rich history, a diverse and unique mix of cultures and landscapes that range from beautiful beaches and desert sands to lush valleys and towering mountain peaks, making it perfect for the intrepid and curious. As soon as you arrive for your Morocco holiday, you are catapulted straight into a whirlwind of jewel bright colours, enchanting aromas, exotic flavours, and a bustling frenetic energy that is so wholly evocative it’s hard not to be instantly infatuated.  

 

In fact, everything in Morocco is out to make you fall head over heels. The colours – the deep blues of lovely Chefchaouen or the burnt reds of Ait Ben Haddou’s romantic kasbah for example, are more intense, the smells and tastes of the spices stacked high in the souks and used in traditional foods more powerful, the artistry of those wonderfully mysterious door arches or vivid patterns of the mosaics more intricate. Even the cities - dazzling Marrakech, charming Essaouira, stately Rabat, diverse Tangier, and scholarly Fez, each offer their own je nais se quois.

 

So, in the end, you come to Morocco to explore the medinas and mountains, souks and kasbahs, beaches and desert, and come away with a whole new appreciation for the chaotic beauty that this concentration of colour, culture and nature can bring…oh, and mint tea of course.
