What to expect from Morocco
Marrakech, with its charming old quarter, street entertainers and bustling market stalls, is the starting point of most holidays to Morocco. Driving in Morocco is easy and car hire is a perfect way to explore other areas. These should include Fez, the best example of a medieval medina in North Africa, or the small fishing port of Essaouira with its whitewashed walls and turquoise shutters. For the more energetic, there is good trekking to be had in the Atlas Mountains, where the Berber villages are a reminder of a simpler lifestyle.
Flightless Morocco
For travellers with the luxury of time, there is nothing more rewarding than slowing down your holiday and making ‘getting there’ an integral part of the experience. Beginning in London, travel by train across Europe, staying in hand picked accommodation in picturesque cities along the way for a carbon-light journey to Morocco. Once there, enjoy private curated experiences with local guides and stay in charming properties that prioritise Moroccan food and culture.
