Sick of the grim weather? Well, for less than £15, you can jet off on a Ryanair flight to the 'Kingdom of the West' with attractions like the world's largest film studio and an 11th century village that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For those looking to turn their back on the rainy days and darker evenings, there is the 'Garden of Europe' where you can fly to for as little as £14.99 and enjoy €2 beers in 23C sunshine.

There's also the 'Hawaii of Europe' and the 'Greek Caribbean' where pints are a few quid a go. Sounds quite tempting even to the biggest fans of the Halloween and Christmas seasons.

But if you want something outside of Europe, Ryanair has you covered with the Irish airline also running flights outside of the continent.

One of it's most exciting destinations is a country that gets round the clock sunshine with highs of around 20 degrees celsius from November to March.

And if you fly to one particular part of the country, you might recognise the landscape from some of your favourite films, with a studio that has helped make the likes of Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, and Star Wars situated there.

We're talking about Morocco, where you can fly to from the tiny price of £14.99 each way.

With current flight to Agadir, Tangier, and Ouarzazate you can travel from the UK to any of these cities for the low price.

Agadir is popular with Brits given it is a seaside city, with many resorts dotted along the coastline. It's also famous for its golf courses and restaurant scene which is full of local cuisine.

Tangier is rooted in history, with it acting as a longstanding gateway between Europe and Africa for thousands of years.

With culturally rich museums that display the history of the city, it is one for those who want to truly get immersed in local culture.

Forming part of the hippie trail going back to the 1960s and 1970s, the current King of Morocco has launched a campaign to restore its tourism past and rediscover the city's true potential.

On the other hand, Ouarzazate is a mountain city that is known locally as the 'door to the desert' with it lying on the edge of the Sahara.

It is here that Atlas Film Studios is based; the largest studios on the planet when it comes to physical size alone, with the 322,000 square-feet site full of props and sets from the films that you can explore.

West of the city is the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït Benhaddou, a fortified village that has served as a key filming location for Gladiator and Game of Thrones.

It has been built upon since the 11th century with all current buildings dating back to the 17th century.

Flights from the UK to Morocco depart from London Stansted, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Bournemouth airports.
