Overview
In just under four hours from the United Kingdom you could be in Morocco. With sandy beaches, bustling souks and the tranquility of the mountains, there really is something for everyone.
Luxury hotels, traditional rhiads and all inclusive resorts mean that there really is a huge choice for all tastes and budgets.
Morocco is a mountainous and surprisingly green country of outstanding natural beauty, where the dazzling peaks of the Atlas, give way to the silent shifting sands of the Sahara desert. Try a mule trek in the mountains or the desert, or even visit a Berber village and feel like you have stepped back hundreds of years.
Combine the bustling city of Marrakech with one of the luxury hotels in the mountains or in the desert.
