An exotic immersion just a jump away. In Morocco you can feel like Arab royalty resting in the water and orange tree courtyards of a luxury Riad, and two days later be contemplating the absolute silence in the sea of dunes of the Sahara. A magical and sensory destination for medium budgets.
Pros
- Exquisite accommodation (Riads) with a high level of romanticism at reasonable prices
- Immediate cultural shock and fascinating landscapes
Cons
- The intensity of sellers and fake guides can be stressful
- Long car journeys to get to and from the deep desert
