Geography
The Kingdom of Morocco is a country of extraordinary beauty spanning from a Mediterranean coastline in the North through scenic mountain landscapes to the empty wilderness of the Sahara. In the North are the historic cities of Fez, Marrakech and Meknes with old medinas and narrow winding streets in which you can lose yourself before emerging into the clatter of a bustling souk. The Atlas Mountain range, with barely accessible passes in the winter, offers glorious valleys through which you can ramble for days, with a guide, in the summer. To the South, on the edge of the great ergs (dunes) of the Sahara, lie the desert frontier towns of Erfoud, Merzouga and Zagora from which you can camel trek with a nomad guide and spend the night at a desert oasis under the stars of an African sky. Cool in the summer months, when mirages shimmer across the desert landscape, are Morocco’s coastal towns including the Capital City of Rabat, Essaouira and Tangier.
