MOROCCO
Land of Intrigue
R
olling
olive tree
covered hills,
towering
snowcapped
mountains, rocky coastlines,
ancient Roman ruins, endless
sand dunes, imperial cities with
Royal palaces and exotic ancient
marketplaces are all part of the
allure of this land of legends and
mysteries. The people, cuisines
and cultures are a mix or Berber,
Arab, African and European
melded into a warm, welcoming
and vibrant country.
Morocco is situated in the
northwest corner of Africa, a short
flight or ferry ride from Spain. We
started in the city of Fes with its
well preserved Andalusian and
African architecture that has been
designated a UNESCO World
Heritage Site.
