Only separated from Europe by the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco close still provides the scenery: medinas and souks animated mingling vibrant colors, the scent of spices, beautiful mosques, the pretty seaside villages the snow-capped High Atlas and the desert to infinity in the Sahara ... Morocco is a country particularly spoiled!
The most western Maghreb, sharing a Atlantic and Mediterranean coastal country, the Kingdom of
Morocco is a tourist destination that many followers.
Moroccan stops
The country is mostly mountainous, with the famous Atlas Mountains that rises inland. At the foot of these mountains to the ocean, on the fertile plains and coastal shores, many cities have thrived through the centuries: Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, Fez, Meknes, Essaouira, etc ... all desirable holiday destinations.
Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco attracts visitors for its Great Mosque Hassan II, the second largest mosque in the world. But most travelers do not last forever in Casablanca, modern and bustling city, yet she proves a reflection of contemporary Morocco.
Many prefers Marrakech, more picturesque with bustling souks and an old town full of remarkable historical sites (the Saadian Tombs, the remains of El Badi Palace, Koutoubia Mosque) ... simply a must. If you go to Marrakech, a trip to the Ourika Valley is one of the great classics.
Fez is another beautiful imperial city where you can get lost in a maze of medieval streets. Do not miss to visit Meknes, a city often called the "Versailles of Morocco" because of its great beauty.
Beyond the mountains, from Ouarzazate, are already forming the first dunes of the Sahara desert. A trip to Morocco would be complete without an expedition in the desert by camel, 4x4 or on foot, operators abound.
