Nowhere within a four-hour flight of the UK is as exotic and alluring as Morocco. The highlight is Marrakech, with its swirling souks, ornate palaces, elegant back street restaurants and stylish riads, but you won't want to miss the soaring Atlas Mountains nor the majestic kasbahs of the south.

Morocco offers the timeless allure of the desert, the majestic Atlas Mountains and a rich Berber heritage. But the jewel in the crown for most visitors is the walled city of Marrakech with its palaces and souks, and its famous market square, the Djemaa-el Fna. We offer a range of escorted journeys and tailormade holidays throughout Morocco.
The popular Souks and Citadels tour begins in the sleepy provincial town of Taroudant, set against the towering Atlas Mountains. With its high ramparts, this half-citadel, half-oasis is the perfect introduction to the Berber way of life.
Moving on to Marrakech for 3 nights, you’ll stay in one of its magnificent riads, traditional townhouses built around a fountain courtyard and hidden in the Medina behind majestic wooden doors. From your stylish base, you’ll step outside to discover a city bursting with life.
Visit the magnificent palace of Dar Mnebhi and the impressive Koutoubia mosque, and enjoy the tranquility of the Menara Gardens, before night falls and the frenetic activity of the Djemaa-el Fna takes centre stage.
Follow this with a few days of guided walking in the Atlas Mountains. Enjoy the spectacular scenery and the hospitality of local villagers, then relax with a spa treatment at the beautifully-restored Kasbah Tamadot.
