Morocco Honeymoon
A land of genuine hospitality, you will receive an attentive and warm welcome in Morocco. Situated on the North African coast and less than 4 hours by air from the UK, the climate here is perfect for visits during Spring and Autumn when the weather is comfortable for sightseeing but warm enough for sunbathing! The scenery is one of contrasts with the stunning snowcapped Atlas Mountains, pristine desert dunes and rugged beaches of the west coast. Enjoy local markets and souqs, stay in a romantic riad in the mountains, or take a 4wd drive to enjoy the peace and timeless tranquility of the desert.
For those wanting the beach, there are endless pretty coastal villages and towns to visit. Marrakech is a must with its bustling souq and fascinating architecture while an evening spent in the main square enjoying the local handicraft and food stalls, jugglers and fire eaters, will be truly unforgettable! We recommend you stay in one of Morocco's many stylish, traditional Moroccan riads with their rich carpets, stunning mosaics and bright Moroccan lanterns.
