More About Morocco
Explore Enchanting Marrakech
Marrakech, known as the "Red City" for its distinctive terracotta-coloured buildings, is a must-visit. Begin your journey at the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where snake charmers, street performers, and food vendors create a lively atmosphere. Wander through the maze-like Medina and its vibrant souks, where you can haggle for spices, textiles, and handmade crafts. Don’t miss the stunning Bahia Palace, a 19th-century architectural masterpiece, and the serene Majorelle Garden, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent. End your day with a relaxing hammam experience, a traditional Moroccan bath, at a luxurious spa.
Experience the Beauty of the Sahara Desert
No trip to Morocco is complete without experiencing the awe-inspiring Sahara Desert. Join a guided tour and venture into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga. Watch the sunset over the dunes, and spend a night in a traditional Berber camp under a canopy of stars. The tranquillity and beauty of the Sahara are truly unmatched and provide a unique and unforgettable adventure. But want to know one of the best ways to see the beauty of the desert? Hop on a hot air balloon and watch in wonder as you float above the horizon in a vision of rainbow patchwork.
Revel in the Splendour of the Atlas Mountains
The majestic Atlas Mountains offer breathtaking scenery and a wealth of outdoor activities. Just a short drive from Marrakech, you’ll find the picturesque Ourika Valley, known for its lush landscapes and traditional Berber villages. Hike to the stunning Setti Fatma waterfalls or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll through the valley. For a more challenging adventure, embark on a trek to Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. The climb is demanding, but the panoramic views from the summit are worth the effort.
Unwind in Blue Cities and Ancient History
Nestled in the Rif Mountains, the picturesque town of Chefchaouen is known for its striking, blue-painted buildings and relaxed atmosphere. Take a hike to the Spanish Mosque for panoramic views of the town or explore the nearby Akalai Falls for a refreshing dip in nature. Further south, one of Morocco’s oldest cities, Fes is a treasure trove of history and culture. Lose yourself in its labyrinthine streets and visit the Al Quaraouiyine University, the oldest continuously operating university in the world, and the Bou Inania Madrasa, renowned for its exquisite architecture.
Weather in Morocco
Summers in Morocco are hot, hot, hot! With temperatures soaring up to 39°C in some regions, the summer months can be intense—especially inland. Coastal cities like Casablanca and Essaouira benefit from refreshing sea breezes that make the sizzling temperatures more bearable. For the most comfortable experience, the best time to visit Morocco is during autumn and winter, when temperatures settle in the mid-20s, perfect for sightseeing in Marrakech, exploring the vibrant souks, and enjoying outdoor adventures without the summer heat.
Food & Drink
Moroccan cuisine is a feast for the senses, blending bold flavors, fragrant spices, and vibrant colors. From slow-cooked tagines to aromatic couscous served with rich sauces, every meal tells a story of Morocco’s diverse cultural heritage. Sweet pastries like baklava and chebakia are often paired with a refreshing mint tea. Influenced by Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean traditions, Morocco’s culinary scene offers an unforgettable journey for food lovers. Whether you’re dining in a bustling Marrakech souk or savoring a seaside meal in Essaouira, the country’s local ingredients and authentic recipes promise a mouthwatering experience.
