Any trip to Fes should include a day out to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, probably the largest and best-preserved ruins in Morocco. With scenery reminiscent of Russell Crowe’s homecoming in ‘Gladiator’ (more for the surrounding countryside than for the grisly welcome he got), Volubilis is a must-see for history buffs and lovers of picturesque vistas alike. Find out why you should visit in our Volubilis guide… 1.

Marrakech is undoubtedly one of the ultimate city break destinations. Where else is filled with so much exoticism and mystery and yet can be reached in less than four hours from the UK? Picture this: you're slowly making your way through the sprawling labyrinthine alleys that make up Marrakech's famous souq, all hope of finding your way back seems lost, but it doesn’t matter because you’re too absorbed in soaking up everything around you.

Morocco is known for its colourful culture and dazzling diversity, and this vibrancy and variety extends beyond the ancient cities and chaotic souqs to the equally rich culinary traditions. Subtle spices, aromatic flavours and captivating combinations grace the smorgasbord of dishes that make up Moroccan cuisine. Immersing yourself in the gastronomic world of another country is one of the best ways to experience a new culture, and when the food is as flavourful as Morocco’s, getting a taste for a new place is a fairly easy task.

When you think of Morocco you probably think of mesmerising medinas, tantalising temples and pretty palaces, not little blue-washed artsy towns that look like they belong on Greek islands. Chefchaouen is Morocco’s anomaly. Perched beneath the rugged Rif Mountains, this is a town that has fused everything from religion and architecture to colour (who knew terracotta and topaz went so well together?).

Nepal has Everest, Tanzania has Kilimanjaro, the USA has Denali and Western Europe has Mont Blanc. But avert your eyes south down Italy’s shapely leg, across the Mediterranean and over Tunisia, and you’ll find yourself in Morocco. A gateway to Africa, it is where balmy beaches merge into sun-scorched sand dunes and medieval medinas conceal secret streets and heady souqs. But it is its mountain ranges and the myriad trails that zigzag across them that are the country’s trump card.
