Why Morocco
Why British travellers love Morocco.
British travellers come to Tangier for the contrast and the closeness: a white kasbah and medina spilling down to the Strait of Gibraltar, café terraces looking across to Spain, and an easy gateway north to blue Chefchaouen and the Rif — all in one welcoming city where a private trip, and even a ferry crossing from Spain, turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
