EXPERIENCES

Morocco’s scriptures, architecture, musical expression and contemporary art and cinema have made Morocco one of the most creative and inventive countries in the Arab Word. Combined with year-round sunshine, stunning landscapes, an array of luxurious hotels and a welcoming hospitality, its no surprise that it is now considered one of the top destinations in the world to visit for, as well as host, major events, celebrations and festivals.

Wherever you go in Morocco, music is constantly in the air. Whether its Chaabi music, exotic Gnaoua or classical Arab music – it can always be heard coming from radios in taxis, shops, cafes and hotels and plays an important part in celebrations and rituals. But its at the festivals where you can experience the best of live Moroccan music. These take place throughout the year across cities and towns, and are spectacular occasions that bring together various musical styles in a celebration of everything that makes Moroccan music special. Alongside music, the events calendar throughout the year in Morocco is abundant with festivals celebrating all art forms including film and fashion, tradition, story-telling, sports, food, love and nature.
