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 Türkiye if
you want a city that has been the centre of everything for two thousand years, with a coastline attached to it, on a small budget.
