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.
