Moroccan Magic

Morocco, or the Kingdom of Morocco as it is formally known, is a climatically mixed up nation.
The northern portion is characterised by swathes of fertile agricultural land, forest, vineyards and beautiful beaches. In contrast, the environs of Marrakech offer superb ski-ing conditions and go further south and of course it is a scene of the endless sandy and stony land of the Sahara. Every tourist tipple and taste can be satisfied – medinas and mosques, bazaars and back flipping acrobats, snake charmers and sweet mint tea.

This really is a country where hours blend into days and a rich history of glory, savagery and religion can be sensed on every corner. Most virgin visitors to Morocco become almost entranced by the wonder and mystery within hours of setting foot on land and are either overwhelmed by the deafening silence of the mountains and desert or by the deafening wails, flutes and drums in the cities.

Morocco is an economically healthy country. Its major industries are mining, textiles, tourism and leather goods, said to be the softest leather in the world. Tourism is growing every year, giving it the fourth largest number of foreign visitors in the whole of Africa after South Africa, Tunisia and Egypt.
