The point at which the Sahara joins the sea
Morocco has beaches, medinas and mosques, souks and sand dunes… It has a variety and an exotic vibe that has captivated tourists since long before the modern traveller arrived. Morocco’s mix of old and modern is affordable and only a short ferry ride from Spain, striking the right balance between the highly unusual and comfortingly familiar. Cities like Fez, Marrakech, and Casablanca conjure up visions of medinas, spice shops, and couscous, while the physical extremes – from the Atlas Mountains to beach resorts to camels in the desert – make it photogenic. The odd and hilarious circus of Marrakech’s Djemaa el Fna square, crowded with incense, vendors, and snake charmers, will have you seeking for the hidden camera.
