15 Unique, Warm Places to Escape the Freezing Cold and Rain This Winter

Recently named the most popular travel destination in the world, Marrakesh is one of those destinations that deserves to be on everyone's bucket list. With its energetic souks, flavorful food, and heartfelt hospitality, it's no wonder this corner of Morocco is known as the "Jewel of the South." Plus, it's just about the only place where you can ride a camel in the desert, eat dates in the shade of palm trees, swath yourself in brilliantly bright silks, and gaze upon traditional belly dancers flicking their hips . . . all in one setting.

Although the Winter months aren't quite as hot here as July, per se, this time of year is a wonderful time to visit, as there are very few tourists and still plenty of sunshine.

Average January weather: high of 66 degrees with little to no rain
