The most westerly of all North African countries, Morocco has the benefit of an Atlantic and a Mediterranean coastline. It is the ideal holiday destination and is easily accessible from mainland Europe. Increasingly popular with tourists from the USA, Morocco is reached by direct transatlantic flights to Casablanca.
Morocco is one of first countries I ever visited at the age of ten and I have been back on a number of occasions since. Having fun bartering in the kasbahs or dressing up as Lawrence of Arabia will appeal to all the family - not just the kids.
Tangier is the gateway to the Mediterranean and here you will experience a totally different culture to that of Spain only a short distance away across the Straits of Gibraltar. There is a proposed tunnel under the sea in the next few years to link the continents of Europe and Africa and this is set to boost tourism in Morocco to new heights.
Morocco is a land of contrasts whether you visit inland or the coastal area. The Tangier/Tetouan region offers the best of both. Between the Spanish enclave of Ceuta and the town of M'Diq are some of Morocco's finest beaches where new resorts are being built to rival over-commercialized and over-priced Southern Spain.
Marrakesh, in the very heart of Morocco is an increasingly popular destination although it's a city far from the sea There is the magnificent backdrop of the Atlas Mountains and the red city walls to impress the discerning tourist. Anyone travelling to Marrakesh would benefit from reading the following article.
2015 update : Marrakesh has recently been voted as tripadvisor's number one destination in the world.
