Are you ready to venture beyond Morocco's well-trodden paths and uncover its hidden gems? This enchanting North African country offers more than the bustling souks of Marrakech or the majestic dunes of the desert. With new flight routes from the UK making these experiences more accessible than ever, now is the perfect time to explore what Morocco truly has to offer.
Unravel the mysteries of Fez and Meknes
Step back in time as you wander through the winding alleyways of Fez and Meknes, two of Morocco's historic imperial cities. Known for their stunning architecture, these cities are a treasure trove for those with a passion for culture and history. Picture yourself standing before the ornate gates of Bab Mansour in Meknes or exploring the ancient medina of Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its medieval charm and vibrant street life.
Recharge in Taghazout's surf and wellness retreats
For a revitalising escape, head to Taghazout, a tranquil fishing village turned surf haven. Here, pristine beaches and powerful Atlantic waves invite surfers of all skill levels to catch the perfect break. But it's not just about surfing—Taghazout is also home to some of Morocco's best wellness retreats and, with new direct flights to Agadir, reaching Taghazout has never been easier.
Embark on an adventure in Dakhla
Nestled between the desert and the Atlantic Ocean, this off-the-beaten-path destination offers an array of thrilling activities. From kitesurfing in the turquoise lagoon to sandboarding down the desert dunes, Dakhla promises unforgettable experiences for thrill-seekers. Join the ranks of adventurers discovering Dakhla's wonders, now more accessible with expanded flight options from the UK.
Experience Tangier's coastal charm
Perched on the northern tip of Morocco, Tangier serves as a melting pot of cultures and influences. Wander through the bustling Kasbah, discover the vibrant arts scene, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the city's picturesque coastline. Just a short drive away, the towns of Asilah and Chefchaouen offer their own unique allure—the white-washed walls of Asilah's medina are not to be missed nor are the iconic blue streets of Chefchaouen.
