Steeped in culture and exotic mystic, Morocco holds an immediate and enduring fascination for many travellers, although it’s located not too far from Europe it seems a zillion miles away in both tradition and scenery. A land with an extremely strong identify, this is where there is a piece of history in every tile of every mosaic, a story at every souk and a culture that envelopes the country so tightly that it inspired the UNESCO Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity Masterpiece project ( a project which celebrates the expression of centuries-old heritage).
As a backdrop to all this, the country’s physical make-up is nothing less than extraordinary – from the High Atlas Mountains to the lonesome shifting sands of the Western Sahara. This beautifully unique place offers its visitor a labyrinth of stories, dreams, contrasts, mysteries and myths. A few years back we were lucky enough to spend a week exploring the highlights of this country and from Marrakech and beyond here is our Moroccan journey in BIG pictures…

Having worked many years for Singapore Airlines I traveled the east extensively as I always had the urge and passion to travel in that direction, however lately I have an incredible desire to travel to Morocco and came across your post by accident. Thank you so much for this information and now am definitely sold on going there and will do so within the next 6 months for sure. It is so colourful, mystic, exotic. Is there an actual word to describe the beauty of this place. I will post as soon as I have been
Thank you once again for your beautiful pictures and information. Kind regards Moyra

24 May, 2016 at 3:23 pmWow Becky – your photos absolutely perfectly capture the colours and textures out there. I think it’s really incredible how a country that is such a short flight away from the UK can be just world’s apart in terms of colours, cultures, smells, terrains etc – we’re so lucky to be so near a destination like Morocco! I’ve only seen the mountains and Marrakech but would love to return to see Fez, Essaouria, Chefchaouen etc!

25 May, 2016 at 10:48 pmYes we totally agree Shikha, I couldn’t believe how different it felt there. A very vibrant and unique travel destination!
