Trip Overview
It's the ancient ruins, colourful bazaars and spice-filled tagines that first draws you to Morocco BUT it's hitting the surf at some of the best beaches in the world, sipping mint tea with the locals outside the buzzing medina or finding yourself amongst the palms of a hidden paradise that really makes a trip here something special. Lucky for you, we've got every angle covered with this one.

Fes
3Hellooo, city tour! You’ve got a whole day to get all up in the winding alleyways and buzzing souks of Fes el Bali. Yes! As we make our way around we’ll tick off the likes of the Jewish Quarter, the Royal Palace and a traditional ceramics factory for a true insight into the local culture. Later on, why not head over to The Ruined Garden (Google it) for a spot of Moroccan tapas?

9Give one last shaka to Taghazout – today we’ll be kicking it up the Atlantic Coast to the fishing town of Essaouira (it’s pronounced ‘Essa-weera’, if you’re wondering).
