Adventure holidays in Morocco

You do not need to wait until summer to enjoy holidays in Morocco - there's plenty to do in this spectacular North African country throughout the year. As with many of the world's exotic and exciting nations, the pleasure of Morocco holidays comes from being able to mix rural adventure holidays with bustling city experiences. Hiking breaks usually take place in the Atlas Mountains, which feature terrain to suit all abilities. 

Those looking to soak up the culture of the Berber villages can cross the range at low altitude. Ait Benhaddou - used as a backdrop for the 2000 film Gladiator - is one stop-off movie fans won't want to miss on their Morocco holidays.

Meanwhile, serious trekkers have the chance to summit North Africa's highest peak - the 4,167m-tall Toukbal. From the top of the mountain, climbers are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views which stretch as far as the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the Sahara Desert in the east. A truly unforgettable trekking holiday

The Sahara itself is often a popular destination for family adventure holidays during adventure holidays to Morocco. Travelling across the wilderness on a camel and camping among the dunes will be a truly unforgettable experience.  

You won't want to miss the chance to check out Morocco's bustling capital Marrakech, either. The colourful main square, with its jugglers, musicians and acrobats, will amuse and delight, while the bazaars are the perfect place to pick up a bargain.
Fez is another city which is worth a look on holidays to Morocco - its souks are filled with wonderful sights and sounds. Meanwhile, a jaunt to the coastal destination and former pirate's lair Essaouira gives travellers the chance to immerse themselves in the country's nautical past. 

Regardless of whether adrenaline-fuelled activities or cultural discoveries are the purpose of your holiday to Morocco, this spectacularly beautiful country is sure to leave you with memories which will last a lifetime.
