Why Morocco is perfect for a short break

Morocco feels a world away, yet Marrakech is less than four hours from the UK with direct flights from many airports. Usually there is no time difference, so a long weekend leaves you with plenty of time to explore.

Stay in a traditional riad inside the old city for the full experience, or choose a resort with gardens and pools just outside.

Combining city, coast and desert

With a week, you can spend a few days in Marrakech and finish on the beach in Agadir or Essaouira. With a little longer, a trip over the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara is unforgettable.

We plan the transfers, guides and stays so you can enjoy it all without the stress.
