Morocco Holidays
This country bursts with colour and intrigue as you delve into spice-filled souks, stroll along atmospheric alleys or relax and unwind in a steamy hammam.
In Marrakech, visit the Koutoubia Mosque with its impressive minaret, the Saadian Tombs dating back to the 16th Century and the colourful maze of the famous souks of the Medina. When it comes to where to stay, we have a wonderful selection of Marrakech accommodation ranging from boutique riads to luxury resorts.
After exploring the city, head to the High Atlas Mountains to enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery the country has to offer or opt for a few days of relaxation in the laidback beachside town of Essaouira.

WHERE TO GO IN MOROCCO
Marrakech
Lively, charming and atmospheric, Marrakech has been enchanting its guests for over 1,000 years. Visit a gallery in the glamorous Ville Nouvelle, lose yourself in the colourful and vibrant maze of souks and be mesmerised by the snake charmers and fortune tellers in Djemaa el Fna Square which is the beating heart of this fabulous city.
Atlas Mountains
North Africa’s greatest mountain range is known locally as Idraren Draren, meaning 'mountain of mountains', and stretches across Morocco from the Atlantic coast. Dotted with remote Berber villages and spectacular flora filled valleys, the Atlas Mountains are easily accessible from Marrakech and offer scenic retreats or a more active hiking adventure - a nature lover’s dream.
Essaouira & Other Beaches
Breezy Essaouira offers a picturesque, fortified medina
which is full of galleries and a fabulous sandy beach
popular with kite surfers. El-Jadida, south of Casablanca,
is beautifully preserved and its long sandy beaches are less
crowded and good for swimming. Charming Assilah’s
medina walls feature colourful murals while its sandy
beaches are popular with tourists and friendly locals.
Fez
Medieval, magical, chaotic and charming, Morocco’s oldest
imperial city dates back to the 8th Century. The ancient
medina will stimulate your senses as you pass through
the spice markets and visit tanneries where techniques
have remained unchanged for centuries. Examples of
Islamic architecture and artistry can be found around
every corner and the Kairaouine Mosque and University
is thought to be the oldest university in the world.
Casablanca & Rabat
Once a Berber fishing village, Casablanca or Casa
as the city is referred to locally is now a sprawling,
progressive city and the country’s economic capital.
The city is famous for its art deco and neo-Moorish
architecture and the spectacular Hassan II Mosque.
Rabat, Morocco’s political capital, moves at a gentler
pace and is a wonderful mix of crumbling Roman ruins,
ancient Andalusian kasbahs and colonial architecture.
Desert Towns
Merzouga sits on the edges of the Sahara Desert
looking out towards the orange coloured sand dunes of
Erg Chebbi. A sunset camel ride and a night in a desert
camp is a great way to appreciate the area. Erfoud has
an authentic and untouristic souk where you can haggle
for local dates. It is the gateway to historic Rissani and
the ruins of Sijilmassa which were once important
towns on the trans Saharan trade routes.
Chefchaouen
Surrounded by the stunning Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen
or Chaouen as it is referred to by locals, is a delightful
town full of charm and hospitality. Famous for its striking
blue buildings and inhabited by the descendants of
Moorish exiles, Berber tribesmen, Muslims and Jews,
Chefchaoen is friendly, unhurried and one of the
prettiest towns in Morocco. A photographer’s dream.
