Morocco is a North African coastal country about the size of California. The geography of the country includes a great expanse of Atlantic coastline as well as desert, mountains and plains. The scenery of Morocco is a blend of the African continent, while its monuments reflect the rich and varied traditions of the Islamic civilization that began its influence in the year 710. Morocco is bounded by two seas, the Atlas mountain chain, and the immensity of the Sahara Desert, yet it is Europe’s nearest neighbour and the most accessible of the Maghreb countries to visit.
