Morocco, located in North Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is a land where Berber, Arab, and European traditions intertwine. In Marrakech, the vibrant medina invites visitors to wander through its maze of alleys, bustling souks, and the lively Jemaa el-Fnaa Square filled with artisans, jewelers, and lantern makers. Meanwhile, in the capital city Rabat, the Kasbah of the Udayas, a 12th-century fortress, proudly overlooks the ocean, embodying the country’s rich history and cultural heritage.
