1Turkey, the essential gem of 2026-2027
Istanbul & Cappadocia
Turkey has it all: unbeatable value for money, thousands of years of history and landscapes that look made up. At sunrise in Cappadocia, dozens of hot-air balloons drift up above the fairy chimneys. You have to see it once. In Istanbul, you cross from one continent to the other between the Blue Mosque, the Bosphorus and the Grand Bazaar.
Why in 2026-2027? New air routes and newly opened boutique hotels make Cappadocia easier to reach than ever. Go before prices catch up with Europe.
2Cape Verde, absolute relaxation
Sal Island, the Brazil of Africa
Five hours away by plane, Cape Verde means white sand beaches and turquoise water with a Caribbean feel. Sal, the sunniest island in the archipelago, mixes lazy days, kitesurfing and Cape Verdean music. Since direct flights have multiplied, it has become very popular.
Why in 2026-2027? For tropical beaches without blowing your budget, it's hard to do better: lovely hotels at still reasonable prices, and none of the Caribbean crowds.
3Sicily, between volcanoes and the Dolce Vita
The complete tour of the island
Palermo, Taormina, Agrigento, Greek temples and Etna, still smoking: Sicily holds 3,000 years of history on a single island. And you eat some of the best food in Europe without breaking the bank, from cannoli and arancini to seafood. The trip is a loop, and everyone loves it.
Why in 2026-2027? Sicily costs less than Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast, with just as much to see. For a first time in Italy, it's an excellent choice.
4Egypt and the magic of the Nile
5-star cruise + Hurghada
Sail between Luxor, Edfu and Aswan on a 5-star Nile cruise, then finish with a few beach days in Hurghada, on the Red Sea. Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, sunset over the feluccas: Egypt is back, and travellers are returning in numbers.
Why in 2026-2027? A 5-star cruise, full board and excursions for a sensible budget: few destinations give you this much for the price.
5Albania, the new Croatia
Tirana & the Albanian Riviera
Albania is the country to discover before everyone else. A riviera of turquoise coves that recalls Croatia twenty years ago, prices that are still very gentle and a capital changing at full speed. If you like getting off the beaten track, you'll love it.
Why in 2026-2027? The big tourism boom hasn't arrived yet. You'll still find almost empty beaches and restaurants where the bill makes you smile.
6Portugal, Europe's light
Lisbon & the Algarve
From Lisbon's yellow trams to the golden cliffs of the Algarve, Portugal wins you over with its unique light and star-studded cuisine at gentle prices. Pastéis de nata, grilled sardines, surfers at sunset: culture in the morning, beach in the afternoon.
Why in 2026-2027? With direct flights from Casablanca and renovated seafront hotels, Portugal is the easiest way into Southern Europe.
7Tunisia, best value for money
Hammamet all-inclusive
For families or a tight budget, Tunisia is hard to beat: 7 nights in an all-inclusive 4-star hotel, with the Royal Air Maroc flight and transfers included. In Hammamet you have the beach, the medina and even golf, two hours' flight from Casablanca.
Why in 2026-2027? For a first all-inclusive holiday or a short break that won't break the bank, it's perfect, and the hotels are very well run.
8Spain, culture and the Costa Brava
Barcelona & the Costa Brava
Between Gaudí's facades and the wild coves of the Costa Brava, Barcelona is Europe's most complete city destination. Tapas, the Boqueria market, sunset at Barceloneta: city and beach in the same trip.
Why in 2026-2027? Very well connected to Morocco, Spain is as popular with couples as with groups of friends looking for culture and a good time.
9Puglia, authentic Italy
Classic Puglia
The heel of the Italian boot invites you to slow down: Alberobello's trulli, white villages, centuries-old olive trees and turquoise beaches. Less famous than Tuscany, Puglia has kept its authenticity, and the food is wonderful.
Why in 2026-2027? It's Italy away from the crowds, full of charm, and much cheaper than the north of the country.
10Morocco, the gem right at home
Dakhla, the Atlas and the treasures of the Kingdom
No need to cross the planet for something exceptional. The Dakhla lagoon is one of the finest kitesurfing spots in the world, the Atlas has superb hikes, and our partner riads are a match for the grandest hotels. Moroccan hospitality is our home ground.
Why in 2026-2027? More and more Moroccans are travelling in their own country. Make the most of our offers on partner hotels in Marrakech, Agadir and Dakhla.
Agency budget tip
Our prices usually include the flight, the hotel and the transfers. One piece of advice: book early, because the balloons in Cappadocia and the Nile cruise cabins go months in advance. Contact us to secure the best prices before the high season.
Our tip for choosing well
In 2026-2027, if you're after authenticity, look at the less crowded destinations (Albania, Puglia, Cape Verde). If you're travelling as a family or for the first time, the classics (Turkey, Egypt, Spain) are still safe bets. To each their own trip.
