Morocco is a country of contrasts, from scenic beaches to spectacular mountain ranges, Morocco has everything. Steeped in history, one is never short of anything to do in Morocco, from wonderful archicture in busy cities to quite mountain paths with snow capped peaks.
Morocco
Morocco is situated on the North West tip of Africa, between Algeria and Western Sahara, and has coasts on both the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is separated from the rest of the continent by the towering Atlas Mountains and by the Sahara itself. Morocco's climate, geography, and history are all more closely related to the Mediterranean than to the rest of Africa, with strong influences from both Spain and France.
Marrakech
The name Morocco itself derives from Murrakush. This city is the capital of the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz region. Marrakech has the largest traditional market (souk) in Morocco and also has the busiest square in the entire continent of Africa, called Djemaa el Fna The square bustles with acrobats, story-tellers, water sellers, dancers and musicians by day; and food stalls by night, becoming a huge open-air restaurant.
