Pick by what you want
🇲🇦 Choose Morocco if
you want somewhere that feels genuinely far away on a three hour flight from Europe, with mountains, desert and old cities in one trip.
🇲🇽 Choose Mexico if
you want one of the great food countries, ruins and two very different coastlines, without European prices.
