Morocco Winter Sun Holidays

After a cold, dark and wet start to winter in the UK, recharge your batteries in Morocco’s warm winter sun. Begin your adventure through the ‘Kingdom of the West’ in the hustle and bustle of Morocco’s capital. Nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech faces relatively mild winters, with cool evenings and temperatures that flirt with the twenties. Wander through the world-famous souqs in search of one-of-a-kind Christmas presents, explore the bright and beautiful haven of the Majorelle Garden or take a historical dive into the city’s ancient regal palaces. With cooler temperatures and fewer tourists, a Morocco winter sun adventure is the ultimate chance to see Marrakesh at its most authentic.

If you’d prefer to escape the crowds on a Morocco winter sun holiday, Essaouira is the place to be. Although you will need your layers for the chilly evenings, the daytimes are like a UK May day. Stroll through the many tranquil riads that fill the old medina walls before heading out to the sea to watch the Atlantic waves crashing and pounding against the fortressed coastline, sending dramatic spray displays sailing over the ancient walls. For a splash of Moroccan culture, head to Essaouira beach for a guided tour atop a camel of the sandy expanse and the dunes that fringe it, before heading to a cosy restaurant inside the old walls for a drink by the fireside.
