Morocco is home to a captivating blend of rich history, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture. From the majestic Atlas Mountains to the golden sands of the Sahara Desert, Morocco offers something for everyone.

According to Business Insider Africa, Morocco is the most visited in Africa and it’s not surprising due to the wide variety of trips offered across the country.

And British tourists can access the country easily too, as it’s only a four-hour flight away. 

One popular city to visit is Marrakesh, known for being a fascinating place to visit – the city is a must-see for its vibrant mix of history and culture.

“Do devote enough time and energy to explore the city and understand the customs and traditions.”

“The gardens are peaceful and offer a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech.”
