Morocco, at your own pace

The destination

A little about Morocco

Morocco is a country of extremes standing shoulder to shoulder. The Atlantic crashes along one coastline while the Sahara stretches along another, and between them rise the Atlas Mountains, snow-capped for much of the year. It's entirely possible to wake up in the cold air of the mountains and be standing on a warm Saharan dune by the time the sun sets. Marrakech's medina was built centuries ago as a deliberate maze, designed to confuse invaders, it still does an excellent job confusing tourists today. And in Fes stands the world's oldest continuously operating university, older than Oxford, sealed within walls that predate most modern nations altogether.
