Morocco
The world of ancient medinas and vivid souks
Morocco is characterized by its endless and vibrant beauty; ancient medinas featuring many historical treasures, vibrant bustling markets (also called souq or souk), cozy rooftop terraces with gorgeous city views, modern atmosphere in the Ville Nouvelle (new city) districts, fabled cities with stunning Moroccan architecture and tilework, kasbahs (fortified cities) in desert oases, unique natural wonders stretching from the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert, sandy beaches and lively port cities, a defining mint tea culture and last but not least a memorable culinary experience shaped by the exotic spice trade.
