ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS IN MOROCCO

Morocco has everything: mountains, deserts, ancient cities and some of the friendliest people anywhere in the world. Although geographically close to Europe the culture of Morocco, with its deeply Islamic and traditional character can be a dramatic contrast for many visitors.

Whilst Morocco has a number of modern and cosmopolitan cities like Rabat and Casablanca the country has a strong sense of its past that has not been erased even by many years of colonial rule by first the Spanish and then the French.

Like most countries in North Africa the travelling is not always easy-going. Some of the contrasts that one comes across between European affluence and African poverty can sometimes be quite challenging for travellers.

Much of the "hassle" that tourists used to be subjected to in Morocco has now been "managed out" by the Moroccan government which makes a noticeable improvement.

Most Moroccan holidays are based in Marrakech. This is partly because of the wonderful life that is experienced in Marrakech and partly because of its very easy access to the Atlas Mountains-the ideal place for people looking for activity on their holiday.

Walking and hiking in the Atlas Mountains is one of the big attractions for active holiday makers come into this country. Typical Moroccan activity holidays on offer: Trekking Imperial cities Village stays in the Atlas Mountains Guided group walking Desert landscapes.
