Location: North East Africa
Morocco is a vibrant and beautiful country to visit. Each city has its own character and a certain Moroccan charm. Even the chaotic Red City of Marrakesh, which seems to create a love/hate feeling for some people who visit. You’ll fall in love with the lively medina of Jemaa el fna, with its bright stalls and fresh orange juice stands. But the constant haggling can get a little weary. That being said it gives Marrakesh character and is a place I’d want to visit again.
Over on the west coast, there’s the windy city of Essaouira, famous for being one of the Games of Thrones filming locations. There’s plenty to explore in the city from getting lost walking around the old walls of the city. Or visiting the daily fresh fish market in the harbour. And for the adventurous, there are lots of wind-related watersports to try out!
Away from the Moroccan cities, you can spend a day or even a few days trekking in the Atlas Mountains, which includes the highest mountain in North Africa, Mount Toubkal.
