Description
Travel in Morocco, on the north west tip of Africa, is a cultural adventure encompassing Moorish cities, dramatic desert, mountain scenery and the colourful fishing communities of the Atlantic coast.
Marrakech, a great labyrinth of narrow streets, where cultural morass is set against the backdrop of snow clad peaks of the Atlas mountains.The gatherings of singers, herbalists, preachers, snake charmers, water carriers, storytellers and vendors are unmistakably north African.
The Atlas Mountains are the greatest mountain chain in North Africa. Rising from the Atlantic near Agadir and stretching through Morocco to the Algerian border in the east, the range is some 400 miles (650kms) in length. At over 4,000 metres the highest summits match those of the Alps. Home to the Berber whose hospitality is world famous and extremely genuine, these mountains have a huge variety of scenery, mix of cultures and type of terrain.
Finally experience the wild coast, impressive forts, friendly souks and delicious seafood of Essouira – a perfect place to relax at the end of your journey.
