“Morocco, in North Africa, is a special and unique place offering a unique mix of culture, rich history, and diverse landscapes,” US news reporter Rosie Jemb Son wrote in the British Daily Express.
In the travel piece entitled, “This ‘exotic’ gem with year-round sun is just 3.5-hour from the UK with £40 direct flights,” she describes Morocco as a destination that “transports visitors to a different world,” touting Morocco’s ancient architecture, unchanged cities spanning thousands of years, and bustling markets offering traditional handicrafts.
Jemb Son suggests that for those seeking exotic vibes without enduring a long-haul flight, Morocco is an ideal choice for a short-haul getaway, just a 3.5 hour flight from the UK.
The article highlights Marrakech, known as the Red City, as a place that overwhelms the senses with its vibrant sights, sounds, and smells. However, it’s easy to escape the city’s hustle and bustle by exploring the country’s natural wonders. One such attraction is the Ouzoud Waterfalls in the Atlas Mountains, where visitors can wander through olive tree mazes and take a boat ride beneath the cascading water.
Morocco’s diverse landscapes also offer unique experiences for adventurous travelers. From camel treks in the Sahara Desert to camping under the starlit sky in traditional camps, the country provides unforgettable adventures. Visitors can engage in one-of-a-kind activities like hot air balloon rides over mountains or quad biking through the African desert.
Morocco is praised for its affordability compared to Europe and North America, offering budget-friendly accommodation options such as charming riads and hotels that provide excellent value for money.
The country also boasts a mild climate, with sunny and hot weather in spring averaging around 30°C and minimal rainfall. Even in winter, she wrote, temperatures range from 7°C to 20°C, making it a pleasant destination year-round.
