The North African country of Morocco is only a step away from Europe, across the confines of the straits of Gibraltar, but they are a world away in both its culture and experience. Due partly to its geographical situation, Morocco is to be found at the crossroads where the East merges into the West, Africa comes together with Southern Europe, and the Mediterranean merges with the Atlantic.
Positioned at the tip of Northwest of Africa and linked with two oceans, this country's central interest for western travellers has nearly always been the hot climate; but also the quality of its crafts and its interesting and colourful nature, also draws in western travellers. In addition, in the last 10 years, western travellers are finding other unseen adventures, mostly in the more northern and central areas of Morocco such as in the Rif and High Atlas Mountains. Here it is even possible to enjoy a skiing holiday! With striking contrast down south, we still find many western travellers are drawn to delve into the gleaming sands of the Western Sahara, on camelback, horseback or 4X4.
Should you travel to Morocco for the beautiful weather, trek through the mountains or the burning desert sands, it is a sure bet you will also be delighted by the timeless Medieval medinas of the vibrant cities, this is particularly Marrakech, where the souks draw in travellers into a fascinating exotic culture. your overall recall will be one of sweet mint tea, brightly coloured material, and snake charmers weave their magic in the square.
Although most of its built-up areas are newly built, Morocco has many ancient monuments and fascinating buildings, representing a turbulent history created by its geographical position. Morocco in addition to her rich past, brought together with a hopeful and exciting present, makes Morocco a mystery tour of surprises and enthralment for thousands of visitors throughout the year.
