Morocco, one of the most sought after tourist destination, is located on the North West coast of Africa. The country has ports in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It shares the largest part of its border with Algeria on the East and Western Saharah lies to the South. Even though Rabat is the capital of Morocco, its largest city is Casablanca. There is no shortage of enormous tourist attractions in Morocco. The country enjoys a strong culture, rich, and ancient history, full of wars and its colonial past. The cool blue water and the sandy seashores are a direct contrast with the warm white sands of its deserts just like its green fertile valleys are in sharp contrast with the browns and whites of the snow-capped 'Atlas Mountains'.
The most renowned starting spot are the more popular cities such as Marrakech, Tangier, Fes and Casablanca. All of these cities have rich traditions. You would find the usual hodgepodge of medinas, bazaars and riads. These are vital parts of the Moroccan experience and must not be missed.
You can spoil yourself this summer with a comfort trip to Morocco, however, it doesn't lack superb coastline and classy hotels. Almost all high end chain hotels, Sheraton, Hyatt, etc can be found in the new districts of all major tourist centres, while in smaller cities some classy and elegant guesthouses can cater the high class travellers' desires. In addition, some mid-range hotels that are newer and cleaner, however, these are slightly costly on budget, have recently sprinkled throughout the ville nouvelles.
There are several activities as well as sports to enjoy in Morocco. Tourists can opt among golfing, hiking, skiing and horse riding, camel touring in the Sahara are few activities to entertain the tourists. Under clear starry nights, the Sahara Desert sand dunes are a quiet experience, unheard to most, in the Western World. Merzouga boasts the highest and most impressive sand dunes in Morocco.
Some other recommended destinations in the striking Moroccan cities are the Imperial Cities of Morocco- Fes, Marrakech, Meknes, Rabat. Your holiday to Morocco can be quite a history lesson. It would be a great help, if tourists hire an certified guide who describes the historic monuments and their importance, cultural aspects, architectural designs and values to get a complete picture of the country. Another proposal for tourists is to book a restored palace for their stay. It would certainly be a terrific experience, which would of course include personal attention and delicious food.
Some resorts in the country have been refurbished into small hotels, which are spectacularly ornamented and are situated right in the heart of the Medina (the old part of town).
