Destination/Hotel search
Morocco has a dusty and exotic allure. Exploring the colourful souks of Marrakech, the labyrinthine walled city of Fez and the blue, bohemian port town of Essoueira feels like a world away from home. Our Morocco travel guide recommends staying at a number of luxury riads, opulent bases from which to experience the snake-charming, desert-driving, incense-spiced delights of Morocco.

Riding with the Berbers | Justine Hardy | Morocco, Atlas Mountains, Ouirgane
We were given Barbe-Arabian horses to ride across the High Atlas. The Berbers speak of them in hushed tones as if they are referring to deities. They are pretty little things with floating manes and dished faces
Morocco with Children | Andrew Eames | Morocco, Anti Atlas, Agadir
The waves were rather bigger than the children's experience (courtesy of Brentford Leisure Centre) but not too big, and the sand was good enough to eat - at least, Rhena thought so
A Sojourn in the South | Amar Grover | Morocco, Anti Atlas, Taroudant
I hadn't come to Taroudannt to stroke chameleons. Situated in the Souss Valley between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, this is one of southern Morocco's largest and most laid back towns. Around 6km of crenellated walls and arched gateways enclose a tight jumble of streets and cafe-lined squares.

Souks and the Single Girl | Isabella Tree | Morocco, Marrakech, Marrakech
The hammam was not how I imagined. I had pictured something bustling and sociable, a traditional courtyard thronged with women in towels like a scene from Steaming
The English Season in Morocco | Barnaby Rogerson | Morocco, Marrakech, Marrakech
It is, as they say in Morocco, 'the English Season'. Like some strange breed of bird that migrates to its own discordant calendar the English have taken to visiting Morocco in February and March
Luxury Marrakesh | James Henderson | Morocco, Marrakech, Marrakech
In the traveller’s equation that balances reliable winter sun, easy accessibilty and an exotic destination, it is surely Morocco that comes out on top
Marrakesh | James Henderson | Morocco, Marrakech, Marrakech
'Marrakesh has le temps - zere is ze climate and zere is time for yourself.' He paused to execute a traffic manoeuvre only a Frenchman could conceive
