BEYOND MARRAKECH
Morocco is a land of vast contrasts. Within 2 hours you can arrive at the refreshing, breezy, blue and white Atlantic seaside town of Essaouira, or be by the cooling streams and waterfalls in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Venturing further afield, on more adventurous journeys, you can cross the dizzy zigzag passes of the Atlas Mountains, into the fertile Souss plain, and beyond to the southern deserts and dunes.
