Morocco

Morocco offers travellers a captivating insight into a colourful world fused in Berber, Arabic, European and Mediterranean culture. It has always been a destination known for its traditional philosophies and ways of life. The ancient ramparts that once protected the imperial cities, desert tents of the nomadic Berbers, secret niches of the medinas, architecture of the grande mosques and the private Riads, whose central courtyards families would criss-cross through and crowd around, still remain standing today. Morocco’s famous medinas are surrounded by ramparts and are often the guardians of Morocco’s traditions and unique character. During the day, the busy souks and markets are at the heart of trading activity, where everyone is trying to make a sale and mint tea is always on offer.

Cities in Morocco

Marrakech

The imperial city of Marrakech has been through many reinventions since it was founded in 1062, however it has never strayed far from its roots of being a significant and important trading post in North Africa. With its maze of covered market stalls, streets lined with snake charmers and roads filled with donkey carts, Marrakech will always provide you with something to see, do or buy. The silverware and textile stalls are some of the best of the world. With fabulous and exotic gardens and vibrant neighborhoods, Marrakech is best known for Djemaa El Fna Square, the largest souk in Morocco and one of the busiest squares in Africa. There is much more to explore, however, from the ornate tombs and towering minarets to the large palaces and ramparts.

FES

This ancient imperial city founded by Moulay Idriss in 789 is now the fourth largest in Morocco. The city is divided into three parts; the old walled city, the new city and the French section, the Ville Nouvelle. As in most Moroccan cities, the centre of town is the bustling medina.

casablanca

The economic capital and largest city of Morocco, where the people are much more cosmopolitan than their counterparts elsewhere in Morocco. Immortalized by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the iconic movie named after the city, Casablanca has much to offer.

Rabat

Probably Morocco’s most ‘European’ city and also the capital. It is however much more relaxed than neighboring Casablanca. Tree lined boulevards and beautiful restaurants make this laid-back and charming coastal city a popular place for visitors wanting to escape the hustle and bustle.

essaouira

Beaches, fresh seafood and laid-back medinas are the attractions for this quiet seaside resort. Only a short distance from Marrakech, Essaouira still exudes the charm of a Portuguese fishing port and the city is littered with buildings paying homage its colonial past.

Agadir

The most popular coastal resort in Morocco due to its 10km long sandy bay, which provides natural protection from the wind coming off the Atlantic. Boasting over 300 days of sunshine per year, Agadir has grown significantly since its roots as an ancient fishing village.

atlas mountains

Dotted with Berber villages, the largest mountain range in North Africa runs the length of the country providing a dramatic backdrop to the Moroccan landscape. Stunning scenery and easily accessible from Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains make a popular choice for trekking and hiking trips.

sahara desert

With gigantic rolling sand dunes and mysterious oases, the Sahara Desert in Morocco is vast and mesmerizing. The desert landscapes expand as far as the eye can see and provide a stunning location for desert camps. Spend the night under the stars like the traditional Berbers.

Meknes

The smallest of the imperial cities, Meknes was founded in the 11th century and is a very short drive from Fes. A quiet but beautiful town close to the ancient Roman ruins and archaeological site of Volubilis. Meknes is surrounded by fertile farming land and has a thriving market.

Tangier

This famous city has a distinct ‘Spanish’ feel to it; indeed Spain is only 35 km away. Once under joint international control until 1956, today Tangier is both exotic and intoxicating with a bustling nightlife, beautiful beaches and iconic Moorish painted buildings.
