Located in the northern part of the African continent, Morocco offers a diverse, colorful, and unique cityscape and culture, including the endless Sahara Desert, the jewel box-like blue city of Chaouen, the red city of Marrakech, and the exotic labyrinth city of Fez.
Morocco is home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, reflecting the country's rich history and culture. In addition to Marrakech and Fez, these sites include the settlement of Ait Ben Haddou, which has been the setting for several films, and the Medina of Essaouira, a city facing the Atlantic Ocean.
Moroccan cuisine, with its rich flavors and spices, including tagines and couscous, and accommodations called riads, are filled with attractions that can only be experienced in Morocco.
