Cultural Escapes in Historic Cities

Step back in time as you explore Morocco’s imperial cities—Marrakech, Fes, Meknes and Rabat. Lose yourself in labyrinthine alleys filled with vibrant souks, hidden riads, centuries-old mosques, and buzzing squares where snake charmers and storytellers bring ancient traditions to life.

Sun, Sand and Surf on the Atlantic Coast

Morocco's coastline is a surfer's paradise. From Agadir’s wide sandy beaches to the laid-back vibes of Taghazout, you’ll find golden shores, consistent waves, and plenty of beachside cafes serving fresh seafood and chilled mint tea. Perfect for sunseekers and surf lovers alike

Desert Adventures and Mountain Treks

If you're after adventure, the Sahara Desert awaits. Think camel treks across dramatic dunes, starry nights under Berber tents, and stunning sunrises you’ll never forget. Or lace up your boots and head for the Atlas Mountains, where picturesque valleys and remote villages offer spectacular hiking trails.

From the winding souks of Marrakech to the sun-soaked beaches of Agadir, Morocco is a destination that delights all the senses. It’s where African, Arab and European influences collide in a spectacular fusion of colour, cuisine and culture. Whether you're dreaming of camel rides through golden dunes, surfing the Atlantic swells, or sipping mint tea in ancient medinas, Morocco has a magical experience waiting for you.

A Land of Ancient Traditions and Timeless Crafts

Morocco is famed for its artisanal craftsmanship—handwoven carpets, delicate ceramics, and ornate lanterns can be found throughout the souks. Each region has its own specialities passed down through generations, making shopping here a cultural experience in itself. 


The Home of Couscous and Tagine

Moroccan cuisine is a feast for the senses. Hearty tagines, fluffy couscous, sweet pastries, and sizzling street food are all part of daily life. The use of spices like cumin, saffron, cinnamon and paprika gives Moroccan dishes their unmistakable warmth and depth.


A Country of Contrasts

Morocco is one of the few places in the world where you can ski in the morning in the Atlas Mountains and watch the sunset over the Sahara that same evening. From cool mountain air to scorching desert heat, its landscapes are wildly diverse and endlessly beautiful.

Weather

Morocco enjoys a Mediterranean climate along the coast and a hotter, drier desert climate inland. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal times to visit, offering warm temperatures and fewer crowds. Summers can be extremely hot, especially in the interior, while winters are mild and pleasant on the coast but snowy in the mountains.

Spoken Languages and Currency

The official languages are Arabic and Amazigh (Berber), with French widely spoken across the country. In tourist areas, English is also commonly understood, particularly in hotels, riads, and larger cities. The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), and while credit cards are accepted in many places, cash is essential for souks and smaller shops.
