Morocco

​

Bordering the Atlantic Coast and Mediterranean, a diverse country filled with majestic places encompassing adventure, culture, history and Desert. Morocco is a gateway to Africa from the northern hemisphere. It is a country split into three tiers: the Sahara Desert with nomadic culture, oases and stunning landscapes; the Sea with two different oceans being the Mediterranean and the Atlantic oceans; and the Mountains – the Atlas Mountains with Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak – all just 3 hours flight apart.

 

In addition, it is home to many ancient cities where nomads and traders swept the streets trading spices, incense and swopping adventurous stories. A trip to Morocco should not exclude a visit to Ouarzazate ‘the door to the desert’ and a journey discovering the mysterious Atlas Mountains.
