Where to go
Casablanca
Travellers come to Casablanca and expect the same old-world romance of the Ingrid Bergmans and Humphrey Bogarts of the world, when in reality Casablanca is so much more. A time capsule of architecture, a hotbed of art and culture and a great spot for a feed, Casablanca will charm and delight you.
Marrakech
The city of Marrakech is the result of Europe, Africa and the Middle East merging. This pink hued city sits right on the edge of the Sahara Desert, with the stunning snow-capped Atlas Mountains silhouetted in the background. A centuries-old trading hub, Marrakech is a thriving hotspot for poets, artists and writers.
Fez
The historic city of Fez can feel overwhelming for many travellers. 90,000 people populate the city, with bazaars, laneways, roads and alleyways heaving. Head to Rcif Market for people watching away from the popular tourist destinations.
Places to stay
Marrakech is an ideal place to stay for travellers looking to discover its ancient customs, the nearby Atlas Mountains or visit the traditional hammam spas and colourful Jemaa el-Fnaa market. The brightly coloured juice bar near the market is a must visit pit stop to sample a traditional fruit juice.
Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city, is a cosmopolitan port with an alluring blend of tradition and modern touches. Choose from a family run guest house or spend a little more and check-in to the Palais Faraj Suites and Spa, you'll be within a 15-minute walk of Blue Gate and Der Batha Museum.
For souks and markets the best places to stay are located within the ancient walls of Fès el-Bali. Within the medina you'll still find everything being transported by donkeys and handcarts.
Things to do
From ancient ruins to golden dunes to bustling medinas, adventure awaits at every turn in Morocco.
Start your holiday in Marrakech, where the old medina draws you in with its historic buildings, maze of souks and the scent of spices in the air. Make your way to Jemaa el-Fnaa, the city's main square and a lively hub of food stalls, musicians and street performers. It's a place to explore, snack, bargain, and soak up the city's colours.
From there, head east toward Merzouga and the edge of the Sahara, where golden dunes rise and roll into the horizon. Join a desert tour and explore a landscape that feels untouched by time. Experience an unforgettable night in the desert with Berber music and mint tea by the fire under starry skies.
Journey north to the blue city, Chefchaouen. Stroll along its painted alleys and immerse yourself in the atmosphere and culture of this mountain town. Spend time browsing local handicrafts, from woven blankets to hand-painted pottery, and catch a glimpse of daily life as artisans work in open-door workshops - you may even be invited in for a closer look.
Next, step into the past and explore Morocco's Roman ruins at Volubilis. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, its well-preserved mosaics, arches and columns transport you into a bygone era. Wander through olive groves and crumbling temples and experience the quiet grandeur of an ancient civilisation.
