Erg Chebbi Desert, Morocco Photo Credit: Photoshot
Morocco is an increasingly popular holiday destination. A former pilgrimage stop for kaftan-wearing hippies, it has become a magnet for fashionable holiday-makers, flocking to sophisticated riads and top quality hotels. The package holiday market is well established here, making a taste of Morocco accessible to all.
The country offers a real assault on the senses - from the vibrant sights, sounds, smells and tastes you'll experience in cities like Marrakech and Fez; to the peace, quiet andspell-binding scenery in the Atlas Mountains, and of course gorgeous warm beaches on the Atlantic Coast.
The culture is predominately Muslim and Arabic-speaking. French is widely spoken, and English is rapidly being learnt in tourist areas.
Located in North Africa, flights from the UK take approximately 3 to 4 hours. There's no time difference between the UK and Morocco, which makes it ideal for British holiday makers.
