Morocco, a North African country, is distinguished by its Berber, Arab and European influences… for our greatest pleasure! Rich of several centuries of history, Morocco fascinates us with its important cultural sites, its imperial cities of Fez, Marrakech. Meknes and Rabat, its capital. Visit magnificent kashbahs, medinas and beautiful mosques, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Imagine walking through the valleys and visiting an oasis while sipping mint tea. And why not take a little camel ride before spending a night in a Berber tent in the Sahara? Morocco means desert. But sand is not only found in the Sahara desert. This country borders the Atlantic Ocean and allows the traveler to take well-deserved breaks on its many fine sandy beaches. Moroccans are very welcoming and generous. All that is missing is you!
