The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
Riad Kalaa in Rabat was great – the only ‘negative’ was a slight smell of cats in the ground floor room of our suite! The staff were very helpful and the driver a joy (Abdul)
My French was/is rusty, so I am not sure if I gave Abdul enough cash when we left him at the airport. He had made a detour to Sale and escorted us around the potteries – so helpful. He also took us to Casablanca on Thursday where his knowledge and expert driving were invaluable. We loved Morocco and were very glad to have chosen Rabat rather than Marrakech which I understand is always crowded. Rabat has plenty of interest for a short break and it was great to be on the coast. The markets in Rabat are very close to Riad Kalaa so we didn’t actually need guidance –who needs the shops in city centres which are duplicated all over the world? It was fun discovering the city for ourselves. Ryanair is not a pleasant flying experience but that can’t be helped since they are the only airline flying into Rabat – Stansted ‘sucks'!!
