These are the first words that come to mind when asked to describe the Kingdom of Morocco, a country where African, Arab, and European cultures are entwined.  Morocco's official Arabic name is al-Mamlakah al-Maghribīyah which translates to "the kingdom of sunset/the west." Located at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, Morocco is the closest point of contact to Europe for Africa as a continent. Morocco is a land of tolerance, a blend of cultures and religions, and is know for its amazing hospitality. The fascinating mixture of history, art, food, music and architecture makes Morocco an unforgettable destination.

The ever enchanting labyrinths of bazaars and souks (traditional marketplaces) in the old Medinas (traditional, historic cities), the incredible historical monuments, the friendly people, the vast and stunning snow-capped Atlas Mountains, the never ending warm and breathtaking Atlantic ocean coastline, and the impressive Sahara Desert famous as a location for many Hollywood movies, are just some of the country’s natural and cultural gems that never cease to leave a lasting impression.
