Morocco Overview

Morocco is located in North Africa, close to Gibraltar and Spain. It is often thought of as a gateway to Africa, and therefore has a diverse cultural identity including influences from the French, Spanish and other Mediterranean countries in addition to its Islamic roots. In one trip to Morocco, one can experience the beautiful beaches, ancient markets, delicious local food and mountain beauty.

Atlas Mountains - Hiking enthusiasts will love the scenery and views from the High Atlas. The summit of Morocco's highest mountain Jebel Toukbal is the cherry on top, quite literally. As a bonus, it's not as prohibitively difficult to reach as some other African peaks.

The Sahara- Perhaps one of the most famous features of Morocco, the Sahara actually only represents a small part of the diverse geography here. However, what is a trip to North Africa without experiencing the mystery and fantasy of a desert safari?

Marrakech Known as the "Red City", the ancient formal imperial city is the origin of the name of the country in many languages, including English. Marrakech offers the largest souk, or traditional market, in Africa, as well as the storied Djemaa el Fna square.

Kasbah des Oudaias- The Kasbah des Oudaias is one of the things that makes Rabat unique compared to other Moroccan cities. The Kasbah is a maze of whitewashed houses, beautiful beach views and the Andalucian Gardens. Make time to ogle the Kasbah Mosque, the oldest in Rabat.

Tetouan's Medina - The Medina in Tetouan is one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. It is a wonderful place to purchase handicrafts from skilled workers such as weavers, leather workers, and jewelers. If a handmade carpet is on your list, this is the place to find it!
