Marrakech is Morocco's best-known destination; a vibrant and eclectic city where cultures converge. "The big thing about Morocco, particularly Marrakech, is the access. It's a quick and easy flight to somewhere that feels like a real adventure. It is less than four hours from the UK with regular flights from all over the country, and no time difference to adjust to when you land. Plus, it has range! You've got a huge choice of holidays in Morocco: a short city break, an amazing golf holiday, a cultural adventure or even an easy family holiday."
"I think Morocco has become popular as people have headed to the Canaries for some short-haul winter sun, and now they're looking for something a bit different". Sitting below Spain, Morocco shares a lot of the Mediterranean's most enviable assets, like an ideal climate, particularly in the off seasons, amazing culture and cuisine, and incredible views.
