About Morocco

Morocco is bordered in the east and south east by Algeria and to the north, Morocco is bordered by and controls part of the Strait of Gibraltar. The Rif Mountains occupy the region bordering the Mediterranean from the north-west to the north-east and the Atlas Mountains run down the backbone of the country, from the south west to the north east. The area of the south east is mostly in the Sahara Desert and is mostly unpopulated with most of the population living to the north of the mountain ranges. To the south lies the Western Sahara.

Adventure Travel in Morocco

There are few places in the world that offer such a superb mix of the exotic with the sophistication and style of European like Morocco. Our Morocco journeys and treks in Morocco follow trails through Berber villages to alpine pastures set beneath the impressive backdrop of the High Atlas, explore the delightful seaside town of Essaouira, discover Morocco's imperial cities, appreciate the rich cultural traditions of music, dance and arts and walk through the colourful markets and renowned mediaeval medina of Fes.
Climbing to the summit of North Africa's highest peak on a Mt Toubkal trek is a wonderful experience that will afford you views across the Sahara on a clear day.

http://moroccostarstravel.com/ Marrakesh is the most important of Morocco's four  former   imperial cities . Inhabited by  Berber  farmers from Neolithic times, the city was founded in 1062 by  Abu Bakr ibn Umar , chieftain and cousin of  Almoravid  king  Yusuf ibn Tashfin . In the 12th century, the Almoravids built many  madrasas (Koranic schools) and mosques in Marrakesh that bear Andalusian influences. The red walls of the city, built by  Ali ibn Yusuf  in 1122-1123, and various buildings constructed in red sandstone during this period, have given the city the nickname of the "Red City" or "Ochre City". Marrakesh grew rapidly and established itself as a cultural, religious, and trading centre for the  Maghreb  and sub-Saharan Africa;  Jemaa el-Fnaa  is the busiest square in Africa.
