Morocco

Morocco sits on the north western tip of Africa, flanked by the Sahara Desert to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, effectively cutting it off from much of the rest of the continent. To the north is the Mediterranean Sea and arriving here by ferry crosses the Gibraltar Strait, the narrow stretch between Tangier in the north of Morocco and Algeciras in the south of Spain.

Perhaps most famous for its busy souks, mint tea and the busy city of Marrakesh, Morocco welcomes visitors from all over the world who come to explore the ancient markets and unique culture here. The capital of Morocco is Rabat, with is on the middle eastern coast and other major cities include Casablanca, Agadir, Fes and Tangier. The main airport for international flights to Morocco is Casablanca but US and UK visitors can fly to other regional airports including Marrakesh.

The terrain in Morocco is hugely varied with long stretches of coastline to the west and sprawling desert to the east. In between, the ridge of mountains known as the Atlas Mountains rise above, home to a wide variety of mountain wildlife. The biodiversity here is immense and nature lovers will enjoy the flora, fauna and indigenous wildlife that can be spotted across the alternating landscapes. The High Atlas Mountains Morocco contain various high peaks over 4000m offering incredible opportunities for hiking in Morocco.
