The Kingdom of Morocco is located in north-west Africa and borders the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The name Morocco comes from the name of the city of Marrakesh, an important cultural and historical city in the country. The capital of the kingdom is Rabat, while Casablanca is the largest city and the economic centre of the country. Morocco is known for its fascinating mix of Arab, Berber and African culture, which is reflected in its architecture, cuisine and traditions.
The country also impresses with its diverse landscape, which ranges from the Sahara Desert in the south to the majestic mountain ranges of the Atlas Mountains. The historic city of Fès with its famous medina and the harbour city of Essaouira attract numerous visitors every year.
Morocco is also known for its linguistic diversity, with Arabic being the official language and Berber being spoken by many locals. French is often used as a second language in educational institutions and in business.
With its rich history, breathtaking scenery and vibrant culture, Morocco offers travellers an unforgettable experience.
Education is the best means of emancipation.
