Visual Adventure: Morocco's Amazing Diversity

Beaches and Berbers, medinas and mosques, souks and sand dunes—Morocco has variety and an exotic feel that has fascinated travellers since long before the modern traveller arrived.

Affordable and only a short ferry from Spain, Morocco’s mix of traditional and modern strikes the perfect balance between the intensely exotic and comfortingly familiar.

Cities like Fez, Marrakech, and Casablanca evoke images of medinas, spice markets, and couscous, while the geographic extremes—from the Atlas Mountains to beach resorts to camels in the desert—make it eminently photogenic.

The mad circus of Marrakech’s Djemaa el Fna square, packed with incense, salesmen, and snake charmers, is so bizarre and entertaining you’ll be looking for the hidden camera. Whatever your ‘thing’ is, Morocco will provide.

Try your hand in the maze-like medinas (bazaars), bargaining for fabrics, leathers, hand painted pottery, carpets, home decor and much more.

Your taste buds are in for an adventure of their own as you try the rich tagines, various vegetable salads and stews, fresh and dried fruits, syrupy sweets and mint teas.

For all the photography buffs there is an endless palette of visual treats. Colourful tile work on the mosques, rustic doorways, Saharan sunsets. Geometric patterns of the medinas from above, or the leather tanneries of Fez.
