Morocco - Land of Enchantment
This ancient land of great history and complexity has significant links with the Iberian Peninsula. Morocco has not only been a vital source of cultural, architectural, artistic and linguistic influences on Spain and Portugal owing to almost eight centuries of Moorish Occupation between the 8th and 15th centuries, but it is also believed that Iberians can actually find their roots in North Africa.
Morocco has been the scene for much tumultuous history having been occupied by colonies of Phoenician traders; followed by the Roman, Byzantine and Vandal invasions and finally the most important of all, the Arabs in 683 bringing with them the world of Islam.
Morocco today is a vibrant country with all the outward signs of a modern Arab Nation, yet it maintains the classic contrasts of such nations in its fabulously rich culture, which emerges spontaneously at every corner and which is rooted deeply in the daily life and psyche of the people.
The marvellous Kasbahs, Medinas and Souks with their bustling activity and colour are an absolute treat for the visitor, as are the many inviting local food stalls and restaurants where the customary hospitality of the people combines with a rich variety of tastes and flavours of the cuisine.
Your stay is made complete by the inevitable attraction of the beautiful Moorish architecture, the rich and varied handicrafts and the chance to witness the charm of a rural Berber dance, accompanied by the captivating rhythm of instrument and song.
Rabat is the capital and along with Fez , Marrakesh and Meknes, is one of the medieval "Imperial Cities". There are many other impressive sights to enjoy such as Volubilis, the ancient ruins of Roman occupation and Foum El Hassan with its important museum of Rupestine Art located in the valley of the Oued Draa.

Riads
Riads are traditional guest houses that are often renovated and restored homes of wealthy Moroccan families. There is an enormous amount of variety as a result of the individual nature of the accommodations and Riads vary from humble and rustic homes to sumptuous, luxurious palaces. Mostly decorated with regional fabrics and exotic handicrafts, Riads also often have their own internal patios and sometimes their very own hammam, or traditional steam bath. Best of all, many of these homes are located in the most sought after parts of the city and often inside the walls of the Medina (old city). Many Riads are ancient but have been transformed in such a way as to combine the best of the old with the new - enchanting earthenware and raw colours with the finest of life's little indulgences. This is the ideal way to experience the 'real' Morocco in style.
