History of Morocco
Morocco is a constitutional monarchy, known to be relatively liberal in outlook and welcoming to Westerners. Think of white washed coastal buildings and deep blue seas or deserts stifling under a heat haze and of course an incredible clarity of light.
The country is renowned for its cities; Tangiers, Marrekesh, Casablanca and Fez. All of which evoke rich images of medieval tradition and architecture steeped in an Islamic heritage, many centuries old. Cities where the donkey still has a working role and the souk is a living place, not a tourist pastiche. Here you can still see children carrying rounds of dough to a communal oven or the tanners and skin dyers plying their trade in scenes that have barely changed since the 1500's.
Arabic is an important world language and over 28 million Arabic speakers live in Morocco, enabling you to improve your Arabic in a truly fascinating country. For somewhere so close to Europe there is a strong sense of mystery, drama and for many first time visitors a real likelihood of culture shock.
