This captivating country, our cherished neighbour to the South, offers an extraordinary world of experiences that leaves visitors spellbound!
Morocco, officially known as the Kingdom of Morocco is located in North Africa. It looks over the Mediterranean Sea and can some days be seen from Spain’s most Southern port! It’s home to nearly 37 million people and welcomes more than 10 million visitors every year. The country’s official languages are Arabic and Berber, however French is widely spoken by locals in the major cities as well.
What makes Morocco so fascinating to visit today is its incredible blend of influences from various civilizations and religions. Just like many European countries, the main cities of Morocco owe many of their foundations and industrialization to the remarkable Roman Empire. Morocco (formally known as Mauretania) was eventually conquered by the Arab empires to the East and the majority of the population converted to Islam. Meanwhile, as the country was passing between cultures, religions and leaders, the country’s original native poluation – known as the Berbers – fought to keep their way of life prevelant in Moroccan culture. While you’ll find many Berbers in Morocco’s larger cities today, the main bulk of the population migrated deeper South, into the city’s located in the mountains as well as the cities and villages that thrive in the desert.
The Roman’s and the Arabs were not the only ones with their eyes set on Morocco. Europe also took notice of the country’s abundant resources, tantalizing spices, and breathtaking landscapes. In a spirited quest for dominance, both France and Spain spent years trying to claim this captivating country as their own. But today, Morocco stands proud as an independent nation, embodying the spirit of its diverse cultures and religious heritage.
