Morocco
Hotel Selection
 We use riads wherever possible, old townhouses
surrounding courtyard gardens, which have been
sensitively converted into small guesthouses and are
evocative of a less hurried age. Most are 18th
or 19th century Medina townhouses, so very
centrally located, and have exquisite stucco and tile work. Many have roof terraces and some even have a
plunge pool.
Ecoprojects
KASBAH
DU TOUBKAL
Base yourself at the Kasbah du Toubkal, a mountain
retreat and eco-lodge and once the home of a feudal
caid (chief). Just 60km from Marrakech you can take
day treks from the kasbah, discover the local village
or just enjoy the views of Jbel Toubkal, the highest
mountain in North Africa. The kasbah is run in
partnership with the local Berber people and the work
to restore the kasbah used traditional techniques and
local materials which were brought in by mule.

Morocco is a year-round destination with a temperate climate in the winter, apart from in the mountains. The summers are hot and arid, particularly in the desert, and spring (April/May) and autumn (September/October) are ideal times to visit.
