📖 ABOUT MOROCCO

A Country Where Kingdoms, Deserts and Centuries Meet

Located in the north-west of the African continent, Morocco has been an important crossing point between Africa, Europe and the Middle East throughout history, thanks to its position where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Interwoven with Berber, Arab, Andalusian and French influences, this country is regarded as one of the world's most distinctive destinations for its architecture, cuisine, traditions and everyday way of life.

One of Morocco's most striking features is that every city has its own distinct identity. Casablanca stands out with its modern face and the Hassan II Mosque, while Rabat, with its historic buildings and calm atmosphere, is the country's capital. Fez, with its historic medina preserved for centuries, feels almost like a living open-air museum, while Marrakesh, with its bustling squares, colourful souks and traditional way of life, is one of Morocco's most iconic cities. Essaouira, meanwhile, is one of the country's most peaceful stops, with its historic Atlantic-coast harbour and white-and-blue architecture.

Morocco stands out not only for its cities but also for its natural riches. The impressive views of the Atlas Mountains, palm-lined valleys, stone-built towns and the endless dunes of the Sahara Desert offer the chance to experience entirely different landscapes within the same journey.

Moroccan cuisine also reflects the country's cultural diversity. Traditional delicacies made with tagine, couscous, mint tea and local spices are an important part of the journey. Wandering through the historic souks, you can see centuries-old craft traditions up close, from copperwork to leather goods, and from ceramics to hand-woven carpets.

The route we at SCUBA-BAY have prepared is designed to let you experience Morocco's most important cities and cultural heritage within a single programme. This way, you won't just see the tourist sights — you'll also have the chance to get to know the country's history, way of life and atmosphere up close.
