Situated at the top northwest corner of Africa and linked with two oceans, the country’s central attraction for western tourists has usually been the beautiful weather; but also the excellence of its crafts and its mysterious and alluring nature, also draws in travellers. Furthermore, in the last few years, visitors are encountering other unseen adventures, above all in the northern and central parts of Morocco such as in the Rif and High Atlas Mountains. Here it is even possible to take part in a skiing holiday. With striking contrast down south, we still find most western tourists are drawn to view the gleaming sands of the Western Sahara, on camelback, horseback or 4X4.

Should you go to Morocco for the hot temperatures, hike through the mountains or the hot desert sands, you will find that you are delighted by the timeless Medieval medinas of the colourful cities, this is particularly Marrakech, where the souks draw in western travellers into a exciting foreign world. The overall memory will be one of sweet mint tea, brightly coloured material, and the smell of the tanners’ yards pervading the air.

While most of its built-up areas are very modern, Morocco has more than its share of ancient monuments and superb historical architecture, suggesting a turbulent history made by its geographical locality. Morocco in addition to her vibrant past, together with a hopeful and exciting present, makes Morocco a exciting tour of surprises and attraction for thousands of western tourists during the year.
