Why Morocco is the Perfect Bucket List Destination

We’ve all got a bucket list.

And if you’re anything like me, your list is chock full of destinations all over the globe.

The tricky thing is knowing which one to start with.

I can’t answer that for you. But what I can tell you is that a large proportion of people who book trips with us choose to go to Morocco as their first destination.

Here’s why:

#1 It’s not too far away

Morocco is just a short 3-hour hop away on the plane, which makes it perfect for a shorter trip. Because it’s just a quick flight, you can justify a slightly shorter trip, whilst still feeling like you’ve had the experience of a lifetime.

#2 You get great culture

Morocco might be fairly close to the UK in proximity, but in culture, it’s entirely different, and I think it’s the only place within four hours of the UK that offers you such an entirely different experience.

#3 You get amazing variety

The best thing about Morocco is that there are a whole load of “best things”.  Wherever you go in the country and whatever you decide to do, you can rest assured that you’ll find something different and something exciting.

Whether you’re in the vibrant Marrakesh, or you’re meeting the Berber community in the mountains, there really is something for everyone.

#4 You don’t need experience or equipment

I’ll level with you: some of our bucket list trips are TOUGH.  They require specialist experience and specialist equipment.  Morocco doesn’t.  Even if your idea of a walk is to the shops and back you should be able to cope, and you certainly don’t need to bring the kitchen sink with you.

 #5 You don’t need to be super fit

Following on from the last point, you don’t need to have run marathons and done Tough Mudders to be able to cope in Morocco.  As long as you’ve got an okay level of fitness, you’ll be fine with what Morocco has to throw at you.

#6 It’s hugely affordable

The Morocco expedition we provide is one of the least expensive, and once you’re actually in the country, everything is pretty cheap, making it the perfect first destination for someone dipping their toe in the water of overseas excursions.
