About MoroccoIn the imaginary of the ancients, Morocco is at the same time dream & mystery. Is it not the country of the torment of Atlas, of the gardens of Hesperis, the doorway of Atlantis….This “country of contrasts”, as the geographers enjoy calling it, is indeed a united and multiple mosaic of peoples and different cultures, a country which assumes its geographical characteristic: Doorway of Africa.
Morocco offers a large variety of climates, vegetations and relief… The High Atlas is covered with eternal snow while a few kilometers from there, of the oases offer the freshness of their shades to the traveller who has just crossed the dunes of the desert…
Morocco is also rich from the architectural side: the centuries of successive Sharifian dynasties on the throne, one after the other, moved their capital, thus enriching several cities, wich have become famous as “Imperials Cities”.
Among the “treasures” of Morocco, in addition to the culture, the gastronomy, it is also necessary to note the profusion of craft industries of a famous delicacy : carpet weaving, pottery, work of leather, wood, stucco, copper, silver,…
In all these fields, the craftsmen continue to use ancestral techniques.
The total surface of the country is 710.850 km˛.
Landscapes: The relief of the country is marked by the Rif, the Middle Atlas, the High Atlas and the Anti Atlas. These chains are actually the water tower of Morocco, while giving to this country an originality of landscape, a plurality of areas and a multiplicity of sites to be discovered.
Population: 31 million inhabitants (Arabs, Berbers, Jewish minority), with a rate of urbanization of 55,1%.
Religion: Morocco is a country where, through centuries, the three monotheist religions lived in perfect harmony.
Principal economic activities: agriculture, mining, fishing, industry, tourism and craft industry.
Morocco is a country open to the world; it has always very rich relations with many countries through the centuries. Modern Morocco is even more accessible because of the importance of communication networks and air transports.
