Travel guide
A visit to Morocco can be much more than a weekend fling: to really scratch the surface, you should spend a week or two exploring its highlights: the ancient medinas and riad hotels of Marrakech; the luxurious camps on the sand dunes of the Sahara desert; the arty, laid-back coastal town of Essaouira.
The more you delve into this slice of north Africa, the more you’ll add to your wishlist: hiking between hilltop kasbah hotels and Berber villages high in the Atlas mountains, perhaps? A week of haggling (and eating) your way around the treasure-stuffed open-air markets of Fez with pockets full of Moroccan dirham? Morocco rewards the adventurous – so what are you waiting for?
