THE Ground Force team did it, and so can you. If you watched the garden makeover programme between Christmas and New Year, you will know exactly what I am talking about.

Marrakesh, the legendary city beneath North Africa's Atlas Mountains, was the destination of Ground Force's dynamic duo Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh. Like them, you too can discover the horticultural delights of Morocco when you book through Reader Travel on a Transun day break.

Departing from Leeds Bradford Airport on Tuesday, February 15, the trip includes hot breakfast on the outward flight and hot meal on the return flight, all transfers abroad and a guided sightseeing tour of Marrakesh.

During the tour, which is mostly walking, you will visit the Djemaa El Fna, the largest market square in Africa. Soak up the atmosphere as you mingle with fruit and spice sellers, basket sellers and ironmongers. You will also have a guided tour of the colourful souks.

The rest of the day will be free to explore, or you may wish to book one of the optional excursions, including the Moroccan folklore and dinner or market sensation.

Enjoy live music and a display of the ancient art of belly dancing, while dinner is served in a traditional Moroccan restaurant, or join the three-hour market sensation tour where a guide will take you through the intricate maze of streets in the souks. Marvel at the snake charmers, haggle with the street sellers.

Whatever you choose, Morocco will leave you wanting more and all for £194 per person. Extras include the Moroccan dinner at £29 per person, the Market Sensation at £18 per person and your insurance cover.

If you don't fancy the delights of Marrakesh, Transun also offer day trips to Venice, Norway, Rome and Iceland. Telephone 01904 567124 for a brochure, or speak to me direct on 01904 567123.
