Wanderlist Morocco
NORTH-AFRICAN QUEEN MOROCCO
W H Y G O? Mosques, mountains, mint tea, medinas, Marrakech…. One could be forgiven for thinking that all Morocco’s charms begin with ‘m’. (Of course, that would be doing Tangier, tagines and tadelakt tiling a great disservice…)
THE TOP FIVE
Haggle for treasures in the souk
Discover Djemaa el-Fna in Marrakech
Trek the Atlas Mountains with a guide
Explore Essaouira’s colourful coast
Try bastilla: sugar-dusted pigeon-pie
WHERE TO STAY Wake up in Marrakech’s royal gardens at opulent La Mamounia, where Winston Churchill went to escape the rat-race. Stay on at labyrinthine El Fenn, a traditional riad sweetened with rose-pink furnishings. Hop to Fez for more magic in handsome, historic Palais Amani. Finish with a dash of Essaouiran coastal glamour at leafy Le Jardin des Douars.
City-central hideaways
La Mamounia
El Fenn
Palais Amani
Ravishingly regal proposition
Rose petals and rooftop views
Citrus-scented luxury in Fez
Don’t miss the mosaic-lined spa
Don’t miss mint tea and pastries
Don’t miss a stroll in the courtyard
Country, mountains and sea
Le Palais Paysan
Le Jardin des Douars
Kasbah du Toubkal
Monolithic marvel in the fields
Peaceful, perfumed paradise
Down-to-earth Berber beauty
Don’t miss donkey feeding time
Don’t miss alfresco cocktail hour
Don’t miss a mountain mule-trek
SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT Morocco’s default drink, sugary mint tea, warms you on chilly Atlas Mountain nights and soothes you in the midday Marrakech sun. Take it with breakfast and a sea view in Essaouira or while browsing Berber blankets in the Medina.
WHEN TO GO Spring in Morocco is balmy and beautiful, lacking the extreme heat that can make summertime-exploring a challenge. You’ll still get warm days in winter, but expect the temperature to plummet by night, especially up in the mountains.
