MOROCCO

MOROCCO

Are you searching for a real sense of achievement but don’t have much time? Well, just 48 hours is all you need to summit the peak of Mount Toubkal, from which you can see the deep south of Morocco undulating into the distance. Sleeping in riads and an authentic mountain refuge en route, this mini mountain adventure hits the ‘achievement’ nail on the head.

Cycling is another intrepid way to see Morocco – from its mountainous north, to the bustling souks with Arabian touches, to the desert and beaches in the south. Soak up the sun and scenery while earning your meltingly tender tagine at night. And finally, stop off on Morocco’s windy western coastline for spot of kite surfing: the steady winds and constant sunshine here make it a great place to master your skills surrounded by Northern African charm and atmosphere. If the 30 knot winds of the Atlantic Ocean intimidate you, there’s always Daklha lagoon nearby, where the breeze is calmer and temperatures never drop below 20 Celsius. Just perfect.
