HAND-VETTED RESORTS
A World Within Easy Reach
Morocco is a world within easy reach — barely three and a half hours from London, yet utterly different. There are the souks, palaces and riads of Marrakech and Fes, the dunes and starlit camps of the Sahara, the peaks and Berber villages of the Atlas Mountains, the blue city of Chefchaouen and a long Atlantic coast. Few short-haul destinations feel so far away.
At HighStreet Holidays we don't simply book Morocco — we route it: an imperial city, a night under the Sahara stars, the Atlas and a coastal finish, with the transfers and guides handled.
With access to a carefully vetted portfolio, from Marrakech's finest riads to luxury desert camps, we build a Morocco trip that captures its colour, comfort and contrast.
Morocco is the great short-haul adventure — three and a half hours from London, yet a different world of souks, sands and mountains.
Signature Experiences
Moments That Linger
Morocco rewards the traveller who goes beyond Marrakech. These are the experiences our clients come home remembering.
Marrakech
The souks, palaces and gardens of the red city, the buzz of the Jemaa el-Fnaa, and the calm of a hidden riad — the irresistible heart of Morocco.
The Sahara
A night in a luxury desert camp among the great dunes of Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga — camel treks, silence and some of the clearest night skies on earth.
The Atlas Mountains
Snow-capped peaks, Berber villages and dramatic valleys within an hour of Marrakech — walking, mountain lodges and a cooler, greener Morocco.
Fes & the Imperial Cities
The medieval medina of Fes, the world's oldest university and the imperial cities of Meknes and Rabat — Morocco's deepest history and craft.
Chefchaouen & the North
The famous blue-washed mountain town and the Rif — one of the most photogenic places in Morocco, and a world away from the desert.
The Coast
The windswept ramparts and fresh seafood of Essaouira and the Atlantic coast — a breezy, laid-back finish to an inland journey.

Best Time to Visit
When to Go
SPRING
March to May
The loveliest season — warm, clear days, green landscapes and wildflowers in the Atlas. Ideal for cities, desert and mountains alike, and a popular window.
AUTUMN
September to November
Warm and comfortable after the summer heat — excellent for the imperial cities, the desert and the coast, with fewer crowds.
WINTER
December to February
Mild, sunny days in Marrakech and the south (cool nights), snow in the Atlas — a fine winter-sun escape, with the desert cold after dark.
SUMMER
June to August
Very hot inland and in the desert, but pleasant on the Atlantic coast at Essaouira — best for the coast and the mountains rather than the cities.
