morocco

close to home, worlds away

Morocco is just a few hours from the UK but feels completely different. Marrakech is colourful and busy, with some of the best hotels in the world behind its walls, while the Atlas Mountains are only an hour away.

Further afield are the dunes of the Sahara, the ancient medina of Fes and the breezy Atlantic coast at Essaouira.
