About Morocco
Morocco is a country of extraordinary contrasts — ancient medinas alive with colour and noise, vast stretches of Saharan dunes, snow-capped Atlas Mountains, and a coastline shared between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Few countries pack such geographical and cultural diversity into one destination.
