The exotic African country of Morocco is a popular destination with travellers searching for a bit of spice on vacation. Slightly more accessible to the Western traveller than many other countries in Africa, this is still a destination that feels a world away from home. Most flights to Morocco arrive in Marrakech, in whose bustling souks you can haggle for anything under the sun.The Djemma el-Fna is the central square and the heartbeat of the city. This is the place to see snake charmers and water pedlars and listen to story tellers weave their spells.
Fez is the religious capital of the country. Walk through the city's preserved medieval labyrinth of alleys and streets, or sip mint tea at a table outdoors in a local café. Essouira, popular with artists and hippies and a favourite of Jimi Hendrix, boasts whitewashed riads, set against blue skies and blue seas. Further south, Agadir is awash with modern resorts, popular with package tourists. Inland is the spectacular Sahara desert where adventurous vacationers can take camel rides across the dunes or sleep out under the stars in Erg Chebbi.
