Morocco Holidays

Morocco Holidays - Excellent beaches & beautiful scenery
Morocco is situated in the north western tip of Africa and is bordered by Mauritania and Algeria. Morocco's varied landscape includes four separate mountain ranges, green river valleys, sandy coasts, and enormous expanses of desert. The three most important mountain ranges are the Middle Atlas, the High Atlas, and the Anti-Atlas run parallel to each other from the northeast to the southwest. Morocco's highest peak is Jebel Toukbal at over 13,000. The High Atlas rivers give life to long river valleys. The Moroccan coastline, which faces both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, offers excellent beaches and old Moroccan cities. In the southeast, Morocco's mountain ranges end with the expanse of the Sahara.

Holidays in Morocco - Great for holidays for all year round
The climate, geography, and history of Morocco are closer to the Mediterranean than to Africa. To the north of the country are fine beaches, lush green valleys, and ancient cities. Further south are the beautiful Atlases Mountains and the Mediterranean atmosphere disappears into The Sahara. The weather on the coast is great for holidays for all year round, although cool and wet conditions are possible in the north in winter. Moroccan food is excellent and the national dish couscous, which is usually served with a lamb and vegetable casserole, called a tagine. Mint tea is a popular Moroccan drink but alcohol is generally available.

Morocco - Agadir, Essaouira, Marrakech and Ouarzazate
