Morocco Holidays - Travel Guide

Despite being a relatively short hop from Gibraltar, a Morocco holiday guarantees an exhilarating cultural experience that feels different to anything found in Europe. Morocco's colourful markets hold the promise of hidden treasures and intricately crafted trinkets amid the milieu of mediaeval medinas. Another great aspect of Morocco Holidays is of course the fantastic weather and glorious coastline.

Marrakech has an incredible 'old-world' ambiance that excites visitors, particularly in the medina or old town areas. Narrow alleyways lead to vibrant marketplaces known as souks that offer colourful arts and crafts, high quality leather goods, ceramics and woven rugs.

The numerous bars and clubs in Marrakech and the other larger towns will keep your Morocco holiday in full swing during the warm evenings. The modern cosmopolitan aspects of the city blend well with the traditional Moroccan culture, which gives Morocco Holidays a nice balance of old and new. The modern west coast resort of Agadir has some of the best beaches of any Morocco holiday destination, with fine golden sands and all mannar of water sports. Essaouira is a popular, laidback coastal town, easily reached by bus from Marrakech. The town has a fine stretch of sand, attractive whitewashed buildings and impressive fortifications dating to the 18th century.

In the south, Morocco Holidays can take you to the awesome sights of the Western Sahara by camel, horseback or 4x4. In the north, the beguiling mediaeval city of fez is an incredible place to stroll around the winding streets that swarm with people buying and selling all manner of goods.

A visit to the tanneries where the famously high quality Moroccan leather is treated is an interesting, if slightly smelly cultural experience. Simply soaking up the sights and smells of Morocco’s city streets is all part of the fun of Morocco holidays and one that will leave you with indelible memories of a remarkable holiday.
