Holidays to Morocco

Holidays to Morocco are as hypnotic as a snake-charmer's flute. The place has got a spellbinding quality that works its magic the moment you arrive. We're talking sands that glimmer like finely ground gold. Exotic souks laced with the scent of spice. Shimmying belly dancers that whip past you in a flurry of colour. It's an enchanting corner of the world alright.

Of course, where you base your Morocco holiday depends on what you want out of a break. Looking for sun-drenched sands that disappear into the distance? Plenty of bars and clubs that keep the drink flowing and the music pumping? Then head for Agadir, Morocco's premier holiday resort, and consider a stay at the all inclusive ClubHotel Riu Tikida Dunas.

Or maybe you fancy a city escape instead? A magical place that lays claim to the ultimate Moroccan hang-out, Jemaa el-Fna? Then the Red City of Marrakech is the place for you. While you're there, you might want to stay at the soothing sanctuary that is Hotel Le Tikida Garden – an oasis of calm in this mindboggling city.
