The most authentic places to stay in towns in Morocco are located in the heart of the Medina and are called Riad or Dar, which are characterized by for being built around a central patio with a fountain. Many also have an external living area protected by a wall. The large terrace on the top floor was used to communicate with the neighbours and the household chores. Nowadays the terrace has a more “European” purpose and is used as dining room or leisure area. Unlike Dars, Riads also have a garden. In our selection you can choose between a Dar or Riad in Essaouira, a Riad in Marrakech or a Riad in Fez.

The High Atlas is the biggest mountain range in North Africa and offers an impressive range of activities, including, mountain biking, hiking trails and mountain photography.

It all makes for some breathtaking sights that should not be missed and which cover some of the most beautiful regions of Morocco.

You can taste many different types of couscous during your visit, for they vary according to the region and the cook's imagination. Mechoui: Oven or spit roasted lamb.
