Morocco is a kingdom in north-west Africa with Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, the Atlas Mountains and Saharan desert.
Morocco faces Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar and stretches from surf beaches on the Atlantic over the High Atlas to the dunes of the northern Sahara. Arabic and Amazigh cultures shape its cities and cuisine. Travellers explore the walled medinas of Fez and Marrakesh, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the blue lanes of Chefchaouen and Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque.
