DESTINATIONS
Only a few people realise Morocco's recent steps towards the establishment of a
liberal and modern democracy. Since the entrance of the opposition into power at
the end of the reign of the late Hassan II, the new King, Mohammed VI, inherited
a country with the germs of democracy already embedded in it and continued to implement
the democratic process keeping in mind Moroccan traditions. The democratic process
is a major preamble to Morocco's long term stability, as well social and economic
development.
Morocco has a deep history and a rich and diverse culture. Morocco is above all
a culture of tolerance, developed through its unique exposure of religions and cultures
coming from Europe, Africa, the Orient, and the Mediterranean basin. This has resulted
in a culture of hospitality deeply rooted in every Moroccan home, including the
exceptional cuisine and the astonishing architectural tradition.
Morocco is also blessed with a geographic landscape of amazing beauty and diversity,
with the Mediterranean sea in the North, the Atlantic in the West (and therefore
more than 3,000 km of beaches), the Sahara in the South and the four Atlas Mountains
chains culminating at more than 4,100 meters.
At three hours from most European cities, with a warm climate all year around, it
is little wonder that over the last few years, Morocco has evolved towards becoming
a home away from home for many foreigners willing to fly to Morocco as soon as their
hectic diaries allow them to do so.
