Holidays in Morocco
Morocco is a country in North Africa that combines many diverse cultural influences into a unique blend. Holidays in Morocco allow you to discover a diverse range of experiences, from lively marketplaces to picturesque beaches.
The most important international airports in this vibrant country are located in Rabat, Marrakech, Casablanca, and Tangier. Flights from the UK to Morocco will take roughly three hours.
It is also a country filled with natural beauty and cultural value, with everything from golden beaches to ancient ruins. We guarantee you won’t be bored, whether you’re wading through the hustle and bustle and colors of a busy souk (street market) or eating a scrumptious “Pastilla” pastry at a Moroccan-style cafe.
Morocco travel guide
Morocco is located at the crossroads of East and West, North and South. African, European, Mediterranean, Arabic, and Oriental flavors combine to create a place unlike any other. The same odd combination can be found in all aspects of your Moroccan vacation, from the food and music to the spectacular architecture that lines the streets.
Morocco’s most popular tourist destinations include Agadir, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, Tangier, and Fez. However, each has its distinct taste, so no two Moroccan trips will be the same. Many coastal cities have lovely beaches, and water sports are popular among Moroccan tourists.
Lovers of heritage will be delighted by the diverse range of museums, galleries, and remarkable architecture on offer throughout this one-of-a-kind country; with a history that has included occupation by ancient civilizations as diverse as the Romans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Jews, and Arabs, you will be able to admire a vast range of complementary varieties.
Morocco’s culinary gold
Moroccan cuisine exhibits the same particular combination of ingredients, including rich spices, Mediterranean fruits, and fresh red meats. If you visit Marrakech on your Moroccan vacation, make sure to stop by the beautiful Djemaa El Fna market to experience the best Moroccan cuisine. During the day, this thriving marketplace is filled with a potent mix of fakirs, snake charmers, and corner shops, but at night, it comes to life as the meal stalls open for business; you’ll be able to try hot stewed tagines, crisp salads, sweet baked goods, and unusual delicacies like a deep-fried eel.
