You’d be forgiven for thinking that much of Morocco was created the sole purpose of being a photographic muse. She is the perfect model: moody, sultry, colourful, exotic and unpredictable. But it’s not just the snap happy that will find their haven here.

African, French and Arab influences collide here to create an explosion of aesthetics, tastes and smells. Think serene mosques, bustling soques, ringing Berber music and soothing tea. At times you’ll feel you’ve been catapulted into another time. The foodie within will delight finding a variety of spicy bites – so much more than couscous and tajines.

Aside from the Casablanca, Marrakesh and the requisite desert odyssey (hello camel’s bum), the surf can be incredible and off the beaten track you’ll find you are greeted and welcomed rather than hustled and harassed.

Oh yes,this fine lady will get you in.
