About Morocco


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. The souk - bazaar - is smaller than Marrakesh's but prices are almost always keener and the merchants just that little bit friendlier

Walking in the High Atlas | John Warburton-Lee | Morocco, Marrakech Region, Marrakech

Great sweeping ridges of sand snaked up to star-shaped, wind-blown summits in perfect crescents. With each vista the dunes seemed to loom larger and more graceful

Before You Die: Djemma al Fna | Rose Baring | Morocco, Marrakech Region, Marrakech

Souks and the Single Girl | Isabella Tree | Morocco, Marrakech Region, 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 Region, 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
