Morocco for couples

Morocco for two is a journey of contrasts a few hours apart: the medina's noise, the mountains' silence and the desert's stars. The flight is short and the hotels are among the most romantic anywhere.

Tell us how many nights and how much of the trip should be desert. Seven to ten is right.

Where we go

A riad with a courtyard pool in the Marrakech medina, a kasbah in the High Atlas with the peaks behind it, and a private desert camp in the Sahara. Fez adds the most complete medina in the country; Essaouira adds the sea.

How the week runs

A guide for the medina on the first day, then independent mornings and a hammam in the afternoon. The drive to the desert crosses the Tizi n'Tichka pass with a kasbah night on the way, or a short flight cuts it. In the dunes: camels at sunset, dinner by lantern, a fire and the stars.

Who it suits and when

Honeymoons, anniversaries and couples who want colour and contrast in a week. Spring and autumn are ideal; winter is clear and cool with cold desert nights; July and August are too hot in the south.

Best time
March to May and September to November. Winter is good for the city and the desert; summer is for the coast and the mountains.
