Less than 10 miles separate Morocco from Europe and yet this gateway to Africa is worlds apart.
In a land where history and culture combine – part Berber and part Arab – you can experience the riches of ancient walled cities, bustling coastal towns and slow-moving heritage villages. Exotic and alluring, escape to the royal kingdom of Morocco for an unforgettable luxury holiday.
Magical Marrakesh draws you in with its walled medina and the electric Djemaa el-Fna square which is home to snake charmers, poets, fortune tellers and back to back street food stalls. Windy Essaouira hypnotises with its unique blend of water sports and golden-coloured UNESCO old town where you can dine on incredible seafood and dance to the hypnotic Gnaoua music in plant-filled courtyards.
Rabat charms with its sophisticated palm-line boulevards and majestic buildings. Medieval Fez surprises with its vibrant culture steeped in history with world-famous tanneries, the country’s oldest (car-free) medina and annual world music festival. Tangier, the St Tropez of North Africa impresses with its golden beaches and dreamy atmosphere that has inspired Matisse, Ginsberg and Burroughs to name a few. And high up in the Rif Mountains, the heavenly blue city of Chefchaouen leaves you mesmerised.
To truly experience the culture of Morocco, you need to try its cuisine. Enjoy intoxicating flavour combinations and subtle spices with Moroccan specialities such as b’stillah, a flaky pastry filled with pigeon or chicken and dusted with icing sugar for a beguiling sweet and savoury combination; slow cooked tagines that are best mopped up with khobz (bread) and; fluffy seksu’ or couscous is a must try with stews of meat or fish. Quench your thirst with fresh orange or pomegranate juice made before you at roaming fruit carts or take five at a cafe to sip perfectly sweet mint tea and enjoy a national pastime – people watching.
Known for its warm Berber hospitality and immensely beautiful and varied scenery, Morocco keeps you returning for more. Be your first or third time visiting, let our Travel Designers show you the many sides of this fascinating country.
