Morocco
Exotic colours, history and culture
A brief overview describing Morocco’s highlights would outweigh War and Peace and still only skim the surface. The exotic colours, history and culture that have attracted travellers from time immemorial are still vibrantly visible and unlike anything else Africa has to offer.
In Morocco it is possible to travel from the snows of the Atlas Mountains to the sands of the Sahara Desert in a day. The enchanting cities of Fez and Marrakech captivate travellers with their spice-laden souks, tanneries, ancient medinas and secret gardens while the blue streets of Chefchaouen draw photographers from across the world. As temperatures rise the coastal breezes of Essaouria beckon and the laid back cool of the Hendrix era lives on. The scent of rosewater and sandalwood lingers across the country, fresh mint tea is served with a flourish, traditional hammams offer luxurious pampering and an exquisite collection of boutique hotels, historic riads and elegant tented camps await your arrival.
