The northern African country of Morocco is diverse, with a rich history and plenty of unique experiences to engage your senses. From perusing the rows of local goods that line the winding lanes of the medina in Marrakesh to riding a camel into the sunset to losing count of the stars in the Sahara Desert sky.
Morocco offers a rich melting pot of cultures, thanks to its location on Africa’s most northern frontier.
With less than an hour between Tarifa and Tangier, Morocco is almost brushing the tip of Europe, marking the age-old passage into Africa. Here, you’ll find Arab and European influences coexisting alongside one another, all unfolding on native Berber land. The range of landscapes in Morocco is breathtaking: the Atlas Mountains, the highest in North Africa; the vast Sahara Desert; the rugged Atlantic coastline, serving some of the best surf on the continent.
Then, there are Morocco’s cities. Marrakech, with its labyrinthine medina and traditional textiles. Chefchaouen, with its blue-washed streets and alleys winding into the hills. Casablanca, elegant and sea-washed. And many more, brimming with history and character.
With a country as rich, diverse and enchanting as Morocco, it’s no wonder it consistently ranks as one of our most popular destinations. You’ll quickly fall in love, and be back for more.
