Morocco Holidays


africa
Bursting with colour and intrigue, Morocco holidays offer a taste of the exotic, blending rich history, vibrant culture, spectacular scenery and year round sunshine.

Delve into spice-scented souks, wander through atmospheric alleyways, unwind in a traditional steamy hammam and soak up the energy of Morocco’s captivating cities. From the imperial splendour of Marrakech, Fez, Meknes and Rabat to cosmopolitan Casablanca and the blue-washed charm of Chefchaouen, Morocco’s cities are brimming with character, culture and unforgettable experiences.

Experience the rugged beauty of the desert as you sleep beneath star-filled skies, or discover Berber villages and breathtaking hiking trails in the High Atlas Mountains. For a slower pace, retreat to one of Morocco’s peaceful coastal towns, from the laidback port of Essaouira to the golden beaches of Agadir. In every corner of this enchanting country, you’ll find countless ways to embrace its landscapes and traditions.

Trailfinders offers a range of Morocco holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Morocco on a multi centre holiday, a short city break or a sociable guided group tour – they are the perfect people to ask.

OUR RECOMMENDED HOTELS & RIADS IN MOROCCO

We feature a great range of accommodation in Morocco, with something to suit all budgets. Maybe you’re looking for a boutique riad in the heart of Marrakech? Perhaps it’s a quaint guesthouse in the High Atlas Mountains or a luxury beach resort by the coast.

What you won’t find here are thousands of Morocco hotels to wade through. We have done the hard work for you and selected the best places to stay and our travel consultants are on hand to help, often with first-hand experience.

Hotels vs Riads


Morocco is the only country in the world which offers authentic riad stays. Traditionally, these tall narrow buildings play host to multi-generational families and feature an interior courtyard housing a fountain and some greenery. These days many have been transformed into beautiful guesthouses offering an authentic Moroccan experience and are located inside the medina (old town) walls.

They vary in size and style – from 4 to 20 rooms, from traditional to modern and from family-run to part of a wider group. Typically, they serve some of the best food in the city and are the perfect choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets and a glimpse into Moroccan daily life in years gone by.

WHEN TO VISIT MOROCCO

Morocco's weather varies by region. In short, there really is no bad time of year for a Morocco holiday but generally Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to October) is perfect as the weather is pleasant and warm, without temperatures getting too high. The High Atlas Mountains can get very cold in the winter and hot in the summer, so if you’re planning on a trek, it’s best to stick to the shoulder seasons.

Morocco Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Andy Ferguson -  expert
Andy Ferguson

The High Atlas Mountains have amazing scenery for anyone that loves the off the beaten track feeling. It's very remote whilst still being about 45 minutes to the city of Marrakech. We saw local shepherds and goat farmers on the mountains whilst we were out on our hike!

Sarika Ambasna -  expert

Marrakech is a melting pot of culture, hustle and bustle and calm in equal measures. Take a trip through the old town to visit local hamanns, purchase exotic spices or eat copious amounts of tagine. Take the opportunity to stay in a local riad to experience a quieter side of the city in the centre of town, or take a trip to the Atlas Mountains if you want to venture a little further afield.

Sarah Szyszkiewicz -  expert

I loved Essaouira as a perfect relaxing couple of days at the end of a Morocco holiday. A small town, painted blue and white with an endless array of restaurants, roof top cafes, boutiques shops, stray alley cats and a wide, windswept beach.
