Combine the two most historic cities in Morocco on this week-long itinerary, which includes colourful spice markets, ancient architecture and elegant riad hotels. Flying to Marrakech, you will spend the first part of the holiday at the charming Jardins de la Medina, a boutique hotel on the edge of the Marrakech medina with its own flower-filled courtyard surrounding an open-air swimming pool.

Explore the famous Djemaa-el-Fna square with its snake-charmers and story-tellers, and the labyrinthine souks, in the company of a local expert guide, before continuing to Fez, perhaps the most perfectly-intact mediaeval city in the world. Your Kirker guide will introduce you to the walled city itself, before you retire to the comfort of Riad Maison Bleue for delicious French-Moroccan cuisine and treatments in the relaxing spa and hammam.
