Something about the country

Mystic Morocco has something for every traveller, from long white sand beaches topped with wind swept dun es, to mud baked Kasbahs, busy souks and Medinas, from High Mountain peaks to the legendary deserts of the Northern Sahara.

A series of mountains divide the country from the Mediterranean Rif the Middle Atlas and High Atlas the country provides limitless trekking opportunities.

Although relatively close to Europe the difference is marked with hugely diverse mix of cultures, religions and languages. The one bond between it’s people is their hospitality, don’t be suprised if you are invited into a home for a drink of mint tea or even a meal.

Climate
Obviously it a country of extremes experiencing huge variations in both temperature and rainfall. Marrakesh frequently experiences temperatures of 30c+ during late sping and early autumn and well in excess of that during the summer. The High Atlas are renowned as a snow capped range where snow can remain until late June, coupled with winds temperatures can fell cold even into summer (see kit list)
