IF you're after a last-minute blast of heat without having to shell out thousands of pounds, there is a city near the UK that ticks both boxes. Morocco's Agadir is hitting 27C this week - and it was named one of the cheapest places for all-inclusive breaks. Earlier this year, a study by Which? that looked at prices of more than 3,500 package holidays found Agadir to be one of the cheapest.

We found a number of seven-night, all-inclusive breaks for less than £300 each, even when staying at a four star resort.

Local experiences that tourists should try are hammans, Moroccan spas, as well as a visit to the markets .

And the standout attraction is the towering Mohamed V Mosque, a modern addition to the city after the rebuild.
