Overview
The enchanting spirit of Morocco. It’s a camel trek across the Sahara Desert. It’s bartering with local merchants in the teeming souks of Marrakech. It’s discovering an exotic oasis in the midst of all the clamor. And it attracts travelers from all over the globe.
Beaches and Berbers, medinas and mosques, souks and sand dunes, Morocco has variety and an exotic feel that has fascinated travelers since long before the modern traveler arrived. Affordable and only a short ferry from Spain, Morocco’s mix of traditional and modern strikes the perfect balance between the intensely exotic and comfortingly familiar. Cities like Fez, Marrakech, and Casablanca evoke images of medinas, spice markets, and couscous, while the geographic extremes – from the Atlas Mountains to beach resorts to camels in the desert – make it eminently photogenic. The mad circus of Marrakech’s Djemaa el Fna square, packed with incense, salesmen, and snake charmers, is so bizarre and entertaining you’ll be looking for the hidden camera.
