    I want to go to Morocco for two weeks, one week to Marrakesh then Casablanca.
    Ideally I want to do this:

    2-5 days Marrakesh
    then to Casablanca ( I have somewhere to stay for a week )
    Then another I want to go to another city such as Rabat or any interesting one.

    2 adults and three kids, all under 5

    what's the best deal out there ? flying from London. Date traveling mid July for two to three weeks, I was quoted £2100 for two week at Marakesh by haystravel dot co dot uk for flight + hotel + B&B

    PS. I tried to post but I couldn't as i wasn't allowed to post links ( which I didn't include ) but this is how far I can get to post this, sorry for the inconvenience
