about Morocco
A vibrant and more “off the wall” choice of destination, Morocco has recently rocketed inpopularity because of its close proximity to the UK by direct flight combined with its air of mysticism, and the emergence of new fabulously stylish hotels.
With the straits of Gibraltar as a border, it is characterised by some breathtaking landscapes from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains to the searing sands of the Sahara Desert.
Vibrant Marrakech is utterly captivating and rises from the middle of the desert like an oasis. Visiting the walls of the old city, it feels like you are stepping back in time to ancient Arabia. The combination of heat, colour, noise and swirling scents, such as orange blossom and spices, make a trip to this city an intoxicating experience not to be missed.
If you like shopping, spend a day in the souks where you can buy all manner of trinkets, furniture and jewellery – but be prepared to haggle! However, if you want to enjoy some peace and quiet you will find many of the world-class hotels here are a sanctuary of calm with walled gardens and tinkling fountains, where you can enjoy a refreshment of mint tea and local pastries. We recommend that you also spend a few days in the Atlas Mountains, which are extremely beautiful and are home to some exclusive retreats.
