An Introduction to Morocco welcome

Morocco is in many ways a country apart. It nestles on the northwestern tip of Africa, separated from the rest of the continent by the towering Atlas Mountains and by the Sahara itself. Its climate, geography, and history are all more closely related to the Mediterranean than to the rest of Africa, and for this reason visitors are often struck by the odd sensation of having not quite reached Africa in Morocco. In the north, its fine beaches, lush highland valleys, and evocative old cities reinforce this impression. Yet, as one moves south and east, into and over  the starkly beautiful ranges of the Atlases, Morocco's Mediterranean character melts away like a mirage. The sahara stretches out to the horizon, and forbidding kasbahs stare.
