Morocco is intensely exotic, with a variety of experiences on offer. It is a kaleidoscope of intricate architecture, vibrant colors, incredible flavors and buzzing markets at every turn. While away the hours wandering around souks, relaxing in a hammam, or sipping traditional mint tea in a street-side cafe. Cities hold plenty of sites of interest, such as Marrakech’s Museum of Modern Art, Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque – the largest religious monument in the Muslim world after Mecca – Mohammed V’s Mausoleum in Rabat, and Fes’ rambling médina – now one of the country’s several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Travel just a few miles from the city, however, and you’ll find an entirely different face to Morocco : Berber tribes inhabit the golden Sahara sands and traditional farming communities subsist on produce grown in the plains of the Atlas Mountains, rearing cattle in some of the most dramatic scenery imaginable. Around Essaouira, and elsewhere on the Atlantic coast, clear blue waves lap miles of largely undeveloped coastline creating a surprising surfer’s paradise.
