Away from the sights, souks and spices, Morocco is crammed with natural beauty. And it’s so diverse! From jaw-dropping mountain ranges, to stunning green spaces and soft desert dunes, there’s no shortage of scenic adventures. Just a quick road trip from Marrakech and you’ll be at the almighty Atlas Mountains. Outdoorsy types will love taking in the views from its hillside villages, while thrill seekers may prefer to soar over them in a hot air balloon. A sunrise ride is the ultimate way to start your day.

If ever there was a way to get back to nature, it’s the country’s amazing gardens. Leave the hustle and bustle of city life behind and discover some of the world’s most stunning foliage. We’re talking ornate fountains, beautifully painted Moorish buildings and sub-tropical plants, all in the most serene surroundings. 

Then there’s the desert of course! You can’t come to Morocco without exploring those golden dunes. Whether you fancy bobbing over the sand on a buggy, a lazy camel ride or even a night under the stars - it’s all possible in this North African hotspot!

Bejewelled with imperial citadels, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and majestic palaces, Morocco feels like it's straight out of a storybook. The heartbeat of this North African gem, and a highlight for any traveller, is the Red City, Marrakech. A pulsating hub of market squares, street food vendors and underground bars. Start at the gate of Medina and follow the labyrinth of spices, perfumes and glittering lanterns. Once your feet get weary, stop off at one of the many hammams, where you’ll be scrubbed from head to toe with indulgent black soap.

There’s plenty to see beyond Marrakech, too, from the tiled mosques in Casablanca to the towering Kasbahs in Tangier, and even Swiss-style chalets high in the Atlas mountains (where it snows). It’s the richness of Morocco’s cultural heritage that has given way to such impressive architectural sites. Where pre-Saharan clay dwellings, like Hollywood-favourite Ait Benhaddou, co-exist with the blue-washed villages, Rabat and Chefchaouen.
