Morocco sits at the northwestern tip of Africa, just 14 km from Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. The country is a sensory overload in the best way - labyrinthine medinas filled with spice-scented souks, the snow-capped Atlas Mountains rising to over 4,000 metres, the endless dunes of the Sahara, and an Atlantic coastline with world-class surfing. Imperial cities like Marrakech, Fes, and Meknes preserve centuries of Islamic architecture and craftsmanship, while coastal Essaouira and Chefchaouen offer a more laid-back pace. Morocco is one of the most accessible and affordable entry points to Africa, with direct flights from most European cities.
