Morocco is one of the most beautiful countries in the world - the light there is so rich, the shadows so cool or warm, the odors so sensual and powerful that you need to go there right away, as quickly as possible, before the deadly hand of progress defigures its precious beauty, its delightful landscapes and its quiet dignity forever. A land of contrasts, Morocco is both Mediterranean and Atlantic - Saharan, yet so temperate in the north that snow is not uncommon in Winter. A land of huge plains and long coasts, it also is home to the Atlas Mountains that reach up 4,000 meters.
Morocco is a land of art and beauty, a land of legend and tradition, where people are beautiful and proud, and friendships are strong. Its unique culture has developed from its many influences. Islam is important here, and influences from the East are omnipresent. But the country still contains a universal element that has been handed down by the Berbers, and the cultural and spiritual heritage that it has accepted.
Morocco approaches the 21st century with all the assets of a country where spirit accompanies progress. To understand Morocco, you must remember that things here are poor, but rich with grandeur, beautiful with elegance, and sober with magnificence.
