Further north lies the historical monuments of Meknes, the impressive French colonial architecture of Casablanca and the cultural capital of Fez, a medieval treasure house home to the world’s oldest university.

And beyond the teeming, endlessly charming cities lie the snow-capped Atlas Mountains – a paradise for riding and walking enthusiasts – imposing Berber fortresses and the drifting sands of the mighty Sahara. Not forgetting the sun-drenched Atlantic Coast where you’ll find the old Portuguese fishing port of Essaouira and the kitesurfing paradise of Dakhla.

And it’s all just a short flight away!
