Please help the children of Morocco

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

We’ve just sponsored Jeanie Davison, an Australian film-maker, who is trekking from Ouarzazate into the Sahara (and back, we hope!) for Unicef.

Unicef helps support children’s health and education in Morocco, and is working to reduce child mortality rates. Just £19 buys 100 measles vaccinations – important in a country where more than 80 children aged under 5 die every day from preventable conditions.

If you’d like to support Jeanie’s trek, please click here.

Moroccan tourism on the up…

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

…where will it end, we ask ourselves?

Just three to four years ago Marrakech airport had one terminal. Now it has a fabulous main terminal building which dwarfs the original.

And now there’s a tender out for the construction of a third one – along with a second terminal at Fez!

Apparently by 2013 Marrakech will be able to handle 10 million passengers a year – more than double its current capacity.

Of course if you’re heading to Essaouira you can also use Agadir – or our local airport…still waiting for routes other than Paris/Casablanca!

September discounts

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Book for at least a week in September and we’ll give you 15% off! Or shorter stays (3 night minimum) available with 10% discount.
