Morocco - Marrakesh Place Djeema el-Fna squareKingdom of Morocco, often referred as The Western Kingdom, is a shining star of Northern Africa. In the recent years it has become one of the favourite destinations for tourists and independent travellers from all over the world.

Morocco is an Arabic country, rich with traditional culture, colourful history and wide nature. Beatiful ancient cities like Ait Benhaddou, Essaouira, Marrakesh, Meknes or Fez shimmer with magical oriental atmosphere. Yet, Morocco is one of the most advanced African countries with solid infrastructure and open-minded people. Casablanca stands for one of the most progressive African cities.

Diverse geography of Morocco offers wild natural riches for all eager travellers. You can go to Sahara, the world's largest desert. You can visit kasbahs, unique kind of medinas. Or you can travel to beautiful desert oases, surf in the Atlantic Ocean, climb the Atlas Mountains or Rif Mountains. Morocco also serves as the ideal African starting point for the traveller.

Morocco - Essaouira: Morocco - EssaouiraEssaouira is one of Morocco’s most enjoyable and attractive towns on the coast. It’s charm is undeniable with its white washed and blue shuttered houses, art galleries, wood workshops, fishermen and colorful boats- all enclosed by ancient red walls. The town faces a group of rocky islands and is surrounded by an expanse of empty sandy beaches and dunes. Everything in the small center is within walking distance and the beaches are quite clean. In summer many people from the big cities come for a day or two to escape the heat and tension of Casablanca and Marrakesh. Interestingly, it is also the city that contains the "castle" from Jimi Hendrix's song "Castles in the Sand" - and it is melting into the sea, on a beach, on the ourskirts of town (though he wrote the song 2 years (1967) before visting Morocco! Perhaps he'd already heard of it...)

Many tourists are attracted by the constant wind, good for wind-surfing and surfing. The windy city has become internationally famous for its contests and has brought windsurfers from all over the world.
