While the person that sits next to you in the office might come back truly invigorated after a survival holiday packed with extreme sports and rough outdoor activities, your best friend might not be able to relax without getting deep full-body tan, sand between her toes and the sound of sea gulls. Perhaps all you want from a break is to be inspired by a different culture. Everyone has their own preferences. Did you ever wonder about the favourite holiday destinations of celebrities? We all know how fond Katie Price is of Ibiza, but what about, for example, Jake Gyllenhaal, the hero in Prince of Persia (2010)?

The popular actor, who also starred in The Good Girl (2002) together with Jennifer Aniston, Brokeback Mountain (2005) with Heath Ledger, is known to be a hard worker and we all know the film industry attracts stress. So where does he go to unwind?

Jake's favourite holiday destination is the spectacular North African country Morocco. Last time he visited the country, he was there during its hottest months, July and August.

He said he could only bear the heat because he grew up in Southern California. If you would like to explore the country of Jake's dreams, it's recommended to book flights to Agadir in autumn, when temperatures are more agreeable.

Jake hopelessly fell for the endless deserts, the mountains and the valleys, the kindness of the Moroccan people, the cosmopolitan clubs in Marrakesh and the more traditional villages in the rest of the country. "It's a really beautiful country," he said. "There were times when I'd just drive and drive, just amazed at the landscapes and the culture."
