MAIN Travel Africa Morocco

The very name conjurs up the exotic and mysterious, as Morocco delivers on its promises to leave travelers spellbound by the strange and romantic allure of such places as Casablanca, Tangiers, Fez and Marrakesch.

One of Africa's most popular destinations, Morocco is only a few hours of flying time from Europe, and conveniently located in northwest Africa with coasts on the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

As a major crossroads among several cultures, visitors are treated to luxurious beach resorts, a variety of world-class cuisine in major cities, desert exursions, mountain treks, Roman architectural gems and exquisite Islamic mosques.

For old movie fans, do not expect to find a Rick's Cafe in Casablanca (they do, however, have a McDonalds!), but be prepared to be surprised by the brightness and beauty found in the architectural gems that dot the city, along with a hopping nightlife that is second to none ....
