Situated on the most northwest tip of Africa, Morocco is a tantalising country steeped in mystique and culture. It offers extraordinarily diverse cultures and activities, from beautiful trekking in the stunning High Atlas mountains and witnessing real mountain life with the friendly Berbers tribes, to desert camel trekking, or head off to the mediterranean style coastal towns of Essouria and Asilah for a relaxing retreat and a spot of windsurfing.
For culture, architecture and history you can’t beat Marrakech and Fez. Open air markets are piled high with stalls selling brightly coloured spices and irresistible local crafts. It’s easy to spend a few days just wandering around and taking in the sights, smells and atmosphere, and to spend just as long again haggling for that must have souvenir!
