About
Un país del norte de África conocido por sus costas atlántica y mediterránea, el desierto del Sahara y ciudades históricas como Marrakech y Casablanca.
Morocco is a country in North Africa, where the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines meet the edge of the Sahara Desert. Its official name is the Kingdom of Morocco. For many visitors, it offers a mix of coast, desert and historic cities within a single trip.
What the country offers
- Coastlines: Morocco faces both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, so travellers can choose between two very different shorelines.
- The Sahara Desert: The desert lies within reach of the country's interior and makes a distinct kind of journey, with wide, open landscapes.
- Historic cities: Marrakech and Casablanca are among the best-known urban centres, each with its own character.
Planning a visit
Because the country combines coast, desert and city, a visit can be shaped around the kind of landscape you most want to see. Those who enjoy old streets and markets may spend most of their time in the historic cities, while travellers drawn to open country may plan a trip toward the desert. Coastal towns suit a slower pace.
Morocco is a large country with varied terrain, so it is worth deciding early which regions matter most to you and allowing enough time to move between them.
