MYSTERIOUS MOROCCO

MYSTERIOUS MOROCCO

The Kingdom of Morocco, the furthest west, Maghreb-el-Aksa in Arabic, is located on the north western corner of the African continent. It is only a couple of hours away from Europe by ferry.

Atlas Mountains and Rif Mountains ranges separate a conglomerate of modern cities from Sahara Desert. Cities like Rabat or Fes are both modern and historical holding castles and casbahs so typical to Morocco.

 Casablanca, famous from the Bogart movie, is a port and a busy city. Marrakech famous for its market square, Jamna el-Fna where authentic souvenirs can be purchased and green mint tea can be sampled, is a must to visit.

Sahara Desert is still home to Berber Tribes. 

The customs and Berber dances can be seen during dinner and show evenings. Berber Tea Ceremony is a very special event. They are the original inhabitants of Morocco that were invaded by Arabs in the 680s. Many mosques were built then and now represent architectural delights of the country.

 France and Spain ruled Morocco until it became an independent kingdom in 1956. Now a modern country preserving its history and riches, Morocco is a superb tourist destination.

Morocco has access to both Atlantic and the Mediterranean coasts. Its highest mountain is Djebel Toubkal stands over 4000 meter tall. The summers are hot and winters mild, perfect climate to visit and maybe explore the desert on a camel, best transport in Morocco's terrain.
