Steeped in history, spanning miles of Mediterranean and Atlantic
coastline, and boasting exciting attractions, Morocco is a sightseer's
paradise. Part of the appeal is the inviting climate but there is so much more
to this diverse and historically rich country than meets the eye.

Within the
enchanting medieval medinas of Fez and Marrakech, where snake charmers blow their
hypnotic melodies amid the smell of the tanners' yards and the hustle and
bustle of the open-air markets, the fascinating and exotic soul of Morocco can
really be glimpsed. With Phoenician, Hellenic, Carthaginian and Roman
civilisations all having passed through Morocco, it's also worth revelling in
the immensity of the country's past by exploring its countless museums,
palaces, mosques, tombs and ruins.
Furthermore, adventurous travellers can head
south to explore the hot desert sands of the Western Sahara, and see
breathtaking landscapes which are a privilege to behold; or for a completely
unexpected holiday experience, head deep into the High Atlas Mountains for a
skiing holiday with a difference. There are exciting 4x4, horseback and
camelback treks to enjoy as well as lovely coastlines to explore.

Many of the
sights around the cities are best explored on foot, but for those planning on
criss-crossing the country, trunk-line trains run through the heart of Morocco,
connecting over one hundred stations spread out over 1,184 miles (1,907km) of
track. Bus travel is also a popular mode of transport.
