KKTWW – Just Back From…Morocco

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. During KKTWW’s recent scouting trip, we were able to explore Morocco’s different regions and a variety of its luxurious hotels and resorts.
