Overview
Why visit Morocco?
Morocco feels a world away yet is surprisingly easy to travel. In Marrakech, the square of Jemaa el-Fnaa fills each evening with food stalls and musicians, and the souks around it sell spices, lanterns, leather and carpets. In Fes, the medieval medina is one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world.
Beyond the cities, the road crosses the High Atlas to the earthen kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and on to the Sahara at Merzouga, where you ride a camel into the dunes and spend the night in a desert camp. In the north, the blue-washed town of Chefchaouen is a photographer’s favourite.
Morocco suits couples, families and groups of friends with a sense of adventure. Moroccan cooking has plenty for vegetarians, from vegetable tagines and couscous to lentil soups and fresh breads, and we mix characterful riads with comfortable hotels. Many travellers combine Morocco with Spain or Portugal.

Planning a trip to Morocco
Do Indians need a visa for Morocco?
Yes. Indian passport holders can currently apply for an electronic visa online, and holders of certain valid visas or residence permits, such as those for the US, UK or Schengen area, may have other options. We confirm the current rules and help with the application.
Is Moroccan food good for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetable tagines, couscous with seven vegetables, lentil and chickpea dishes, salads and fresh bread are easy to find, and mint tea is served everywhere. Some soups and stews use meat stock, so we brief your hotels and guides in advance.
Is the Sahara trip suitable for families?
Yes. The desert camps we use have proper beds and private bathrooms, and the camel ride into the dunes is short and gentle. The drive from Marrakech is long, so we break it with an overnight stop on the way.
How do we get around Morocco?
Usually with a private car and driver-guide, which lets us tailor the pace. High-speed trains link Casablanca, Rabat and Tangier, and we use them where they save time.
