Morocco Holidays 2012, 2013

Luxury holidays in Morocco offer hugely varied travel experiences. The names of its cities - Casablanca, Fes, Marrakech - hint at spice and the exotic, a world very different from our own yet only three and a half hours flight away.

Morocco Holidays 2012, 2013 with Abercrombie & Kent provide a privileged view of the people and places that make this country special.

Travel back in time to wander through the souk of medieval Fes, negotiating overloaded donkeys and listening to the clack of backgammon as you walk past coffee houses. Djemaa-el-Fnaa in Marrakech is like a medieval playground, a seething frenzy of entertainment, a cacophony of sights and sounds. A "must" see during your holiday in Morocco is the water sellers parade in colourful costumes with traditional leather water-bags and brass cups, Berber boys with spinning hats and clanging cymbals dance. Magicians enthral bemused audiences. Crowds, largely Moroccan, gather around flamboyant storytellers and listen intently.

Such timeless scenes can be enjoyed with the comforts of the 21st century: a chic sophistication has emerged in the form of luxury riads - old merchants' houses refurbished to create exquisite small hotels.

Your Morocco holiday could take you to the coast for a few nights in Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast, a combination of ocean views, curving sandy beaches, historic architecture and cultural treasures, making it one of Morocco's most beautiful and best-loved towns.

Out of town, your luxury holiday in Morocco can take you through the ages - from ancient ruins of the Greek and Roman empires to a far older world; the timeless environment of desert nomads tracking in The South of the country, in the Sahara Desert, on chains of camels, or subsistence Berber farmers of the Atlas Mountains, herding their goats in some of the most beautiful landscapes ever imagined.

To see our wider range of Moroccan holiday options, please access the following areas on our site Atlas Mountains trekking, Casablanca holidays, holidays to Fes, Marrakech holidays, Rabat holidays and Sahara Desert Camping.
