TransfersMorocco Holidays
If you're tired of the same old drive to work every morning, you're probably thinking it's about time to book a holiday. If you like wonderful weather, beautiful scenery and plenty of activities, then you'll love a holiday in Morocco; the country, located in North Africa with a coast that runs past the Strait of Gibraltar and on into the Mediterranean Sea, is a world-renowned holiday destination with more than enough to keep every member of the family very happy!
Weather
Morocco's wonderful weather ensures it continues to enjoy its status as a premier holiday destination all year round. Its climate is Mediterranean, meaning that whatever time you visit you can expect wonderful temperatures. Sun-seekers should definitely consider heading out in the peak times of June to August when temperatures reach an average of 28 to 30° Celsius.
Pack plenty of sunscreen for your Morocco holidays as temperatures can get higher if you're visiting the mountainous areas of the country. If this sounds a little hot for you though, then visiting on holiday to Morocco at any time outside of the peak months will still provide you with a tan, with temperatures reaching a more comfortable average of 22 to 25° Celsius.
Attractions
Be prepared to enjoy a wealth of activities as holidays in Morocco provide you with a wealth of wonderful things to do. After lounging on the beautiful beaches all day you might want to take a trip to the Museum of Moroccan Arts in Place de le Kasbah or the Archaelogical Museum in Ben Hussaien to sample the wonderful arts and constructions of the country.
To enjoy something challenging, why not go trekking? Not only will this provide a fantastic chance to enjoy the scenery, but you'll also be able to visit the mountain Berber tribes and be privy to their simplistic lifestyle, which has been unaffected by other civilations for generations upon generations. After that, you can also enjoy hot air ballooning if you head to the Western High Atlas plains near Marrakech to take your holiday to fantastic heights!
Nightlife
Because Morocco is an Islamic country you will not be able to find much alcohol, so anyone looking for a clubbing holiday will be advised to look elsewhere! If you feel that you'd like to drink, the large international hotels like the Parador in Chaoen are the some of the only places that stock it, but if you are content without alcohol then rest assured that Morocco ticks every box with its tranquillity and culturally rich experience.
The larger cities Marrakech, and the capital of Rabat, offer a host of brilliant restaurants that will allow you to sample fantastic cuisine and music, while you can dance at the popular nightclub Paradise at the Hotel Pullman in Mansour Edhabi.

A Morocco holiday is perfect for landscape lovers as its multiple terrains make for hugely varied views.

A portion of the country's south east is in the Sahara Desert, which though bare and sparsely populated, are sure to provide amazing photo opportunities.
History
Morocco enjoys a history stretching way back to around 800 AD, and has seen many important events, including control by the Roman empire which declined in the 5th Century. The Portuguese then invaded in the 15th Century, while many Moroccans served for the French army in World Wars one and two.
Culture
Morocco enjoys a hugely packed events calendar, meaning that whatever time you visit there will be dozens of things to enjoy. In the larger cities like Marrakech you can expect lots of market days selling food and crafts, while the L'Boulevard Music Festival takes place in Casablanca on the 19th of June - a must for those enjoy dancing. On the 21st meanwhile Marrakech hosts its annual X'Trail Morocco, with runners heading up the High Atlas Mountains as part of a race covering 50 kilometres!
After that there's the Imilchil Festival festival in August, a harvest carnival that traditionally sees young people search for marriage partners.
