EXCURSIONS
Morocco: Country of historical monuments, deserts, beaches and bustling cities, it is a must-see destination for a weekend or a week's vacation.
Much of Morocco’s natural richness and variety stems from the country’s geographic location, on the north-western tip of the African continent.
Sitting on a landmass of 710,850 sq km, the country has a vast coastline of 3500 km, which encompasses both the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north.
Additionally, Morocco shares a total of 2018 kilometres of borders with neighbouring Algeria, the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, and the south.
The country’s political capital is Rabat, located on the northern Atlantic coast. Most of Morocco’s economic activity, however, is located in nearby Casablanca, the largest city.
Other major urban centres in the country include Tangiers, to the north, which has long been a natural link for Morocco’s historic relationship with Europe;
Fez, which was the former royal capital of the kingdom; Marrakech, a popular tourist destination at the foot of the Atlas Mountains; and Agadir, a coastal fishing and resort town in the south of the country.
