The very mention of
the name ‘Morocco’ is enough to fire the imagination about all things bright and
beautiful, all creatures great and small, all places exotic and exciting…Morocco has
held a fascination for the traveller since the days when the olive-skinned hordes of
Berber merchants decided to make this country on the northern African coast their home for
all time to come. |

This beautiful and
diverse country has something for every traveller – amazing natural beauty, flora and
fauna; a colourful history and present; exquisite craftsmanship in its mosques and medersas;
vibrant cities; intriguing folk festivals and traditions; and an ever-ready smile for
visitors. |
