Morocco:

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to the

north the humble treasure of Northern
Africa, the country of Morocco attracts
approximately 11 million tourists
annually and is a muse for wanderlust
travellers. Whether it be getting lost
in the historic medinas, hiking the
rolling Atlas Mountains, learning how
to cook or savouring the traditional
Moroccan cuisine, one’s itinerary can
be swarming with activities in no time.
Morocco is a country beholding a
rich culture and civilisation. Its telling
history narrates its antiquity of hosting
people groups from various nations.
The synthesis of those coming from
the North (Romans, Andalusians),
South (Sub-Saharan Africans) and East
(Phoenicians, Jews and Arabs) have
composed what is now Morocco’s
social structure. Other influencers
include the countries; Portugal, Spain
and France who have conveyed their
traces in aspects of Moroccan life.
Since gaining independence in 1956,
Morocco has journeyed extensively
in its objective to share the wonders
of its soil. Striding successfully, it has
capitalised on its illustrious Roman
and Islamic sites and the sensation of
its vivacious landscapes. Tourists are
invited to be immersed in a whirlpool
of aureate, coral, brilliant emeralds
and whispers of cyan adorning burgs
far and wide.
