Morocco, an expansive northwest African country, is as beautiful as it is diverse. Most commonly known for its impressive souks in cities, such as Marrakech and Fes, Morocco also offers a wide variety of activities in almost every type of landscape, each with its own unique people and culture. From the desert Kasbahs and snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, to the Atlantic fishing villages and glittering coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, Morocco is captivating for every traveler. With a variety of nonstop flight options to Casablanca and Marrakech, Morocco is an easily accessible destination that lends itself to a truly exotic experience.
