Morocco

Morocco is said to be like the desert palm - rooted in Africa, watered by Islam and rustled by the winds of Europe. Its sheer mystery has acted as a lure for centuries. It’s one of the world’s unforgettable countries to visit. Nearer to Britain even than the southern European countries, it is exotic, thrilling, different. The haunting sound of the muezzin, the musty smell of thuja wood boxes in the souks, valleys full of roses, tree-climbing goats, and desert foxes with their bat-like ears, are some of the enduring impressions you'll take home with you after your walking holiday in Morocco.

The culture, climate and landscape have been shaped by contrasting influences. Between the Mediterranean coast, Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara Desert there are plains, rocky mountains and oasis villages. Temperatures can vary dramatically - often in the same day. Yet some things remain constant. The sun is always shining somewhere. The lifestyle is anarchic but addictive. The scenery and architecture are spellbinding. And there’s always a bargain to be struck!
