Morocco

Morocco is a sensory feast — the smell of spices in Marrakech's souks, the blue-washed medina of Chefchaouen, the golden dunes of Merzouga, and the crashing Atlantic waves of Essaouira. This North African kingdom sits at the crossroads of Berber, Arab, Andalusian, and French cultures, creating a uniquely layered and endlessly fascinating travel destination.
