The Many Faces
of Morocco

Where the Rif Mountains plunge toward the Strait of Gibraltar, ancient medinas spill down hillsides in shades of blue and white, and the legendary crossroads city of Tangier pulses with creative energy.

From the Art Deco boulevards of Casablanca to the wind-scoured ramparts of Essaouira and the sun-drenched beaches of Agadir, the Atlantic seaboard is where modern Morocco meets ancient fishing ports.

Four cities that served as royal capitals across the centuries -- each a living museum of Moroccan civilisation, Islamic architecture, and medina life at its most refined and layered.

The dramatic corridor south of the High Atlas where pink-hued kasbahs guard carmine gorges, the Draa Valley stretches 200 kilometres through date palms, and the Erg Chebbi dunes rise 150 metres into empty sky.

A vast wall of mountains separating the Mediterranean world from the Sahara, home to Jebel Toubkal at 4,167 metres, ancient Amazigh villages clinging to terraced slopes, and trekking routes that rival the Alps.
