Holiday Resorts in Morocco

I visited Marrakech with my husband and had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. I wouldn't recommend it as a holiday for those not interested in seeing the different cultures, as Morocco is extrememly different to what we are used to.

I believe some even have their legs or hands ...  Read the complete review
