The Country
Morocco, officially the Kingdom of
Morocco, is a country in North
Africa. Morocco has a population of
over 33 million and its political
capital is Rabat, although the largest
city is Casablanca. Morocco has been
influenced by several civilizations
since Antiquity, which has produced
an incomparable historical heritage.
Religious tolerance, Andalusian
heritage, and the prosperity of these dynasties created treasures, which now constitute the
cultural, artistic and architectural richness of the country. Today, His Majesty King Mohammed
VI rules Morocco. The monarchy ensures the unity of the country, and the reign of Mohammed
VI is marked by a desire to build a unified and modern democratic state, which respects its
traditions and its identity. Nature is never far away in Morocco. Desert, mountains, valleys and
sea - the country has plenty to offer fans of the outdoors.

Travel Opportunities
Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and the
country's main port, which translates into quite
a
few
gritty
and
industrial-looking
neighborhoods. But Casablanca is also the most
cosmopolitan of Morocco's cities, with
nightclubs, fast food chains and high-end
boutiques. Casablanca is often the first stop for
international passengers flying in from afar, and
the city is basically used as a transit point. But
before you dismiss it entirely and quickly move
on to Fes, Rabat or Marrakech, you must stop
to visit the Hassan II Mosque, honestly one of
the most beautiful buildings ever built.
Casablanca Voyagers station serves trains to Fes, Marrakech, and Tangier with stops in between
and also there are intercity buses and various private lines that run services to most notable
Moroccan towns.
