Highlights of Morocco

Marrakech
Founded almost 1,000 years ago on the edge of the Sahara, Marrakech is a historical and cultural melting pot. What was once a southern market town, is now a bustling city and UNESCO Heritage site with a rich artisan heritage, a fascinating religion and spectacular shopping souqs. Marrakech is bursting with architectural wonders including the exquisite gardens, elaborate mosques and a wonderful mix of Amazigh, Arabic and Moorish architecture. The lively souqs are the highlight of Marrakech, each one a whirlwind of vibrant colour, noise and enticing scents. The Medina (a UNESCO Heritage Centre) is the best place to shop with its splendid abundance of crowded souks. The market stalls sell everything from brightly coloured spices to richly woven rugs and a thousand other exotic goods in between; seeing the locals haggle for the best price and the stall owners compete for customers is an experience in itself.

Essaouira
The bright, laidback port city of Essaouira boasts lovely beaches, a calm harbour, great food, a charming culture and friendly locals. Due to its strong coastal winds, Essaouira is often bypassed by the flock of beach tourists who journey to the Atlantic coast each summer meaning it has perfectly maintained its traditional culture and admirable character. The pretty blue and white Medina is enclosed by massive stone walls and imposing stone gates known as Babs; this fortress was built by the Portuguese in 1506. Each year, Essaouira’s waves and strong winds attracts plenty of windsurfers whereas other tourists travel to this tranquil hub for the popular music and art scene.

Renowned for their remarkable beauty, the Atlas Mountain’s are North Africa’s most popular trekking destination and thankfully you don’t have to be a serious mountaineer to hike to the impressive peaks.
