Rich in history that is palpable from the souks and medinas of the north to the Bedouin camps of the south. The modern approach to tourism means that all of this country can be discovered without compromising on luxury living – high-end desert camps and mountain retreats are second to none and historic cities offer world-class riads and more modern hotels within the city walls, for those looking for more of a relaxed environment, barefoot living is encouraged on the coast with wellness offerings waiting to welcome guests. Spend a year in this country and you still won’t have scratched the surface of its history and treasures that lie within.
