Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh... just the names of these cities stir a hint of spice in the nostrils. Morocco has been thoroughly mythologised and for good reason. Travellers extol the country's unique living history, its shimmering light and its extraordinary art.

Morocco is the ideal African starting point for the traveller. An easy hop from Europe, it is hectic but friendly and stimulating as well.

Morocco has been a popular tourist destination for two centuries, particularly helped by the nearness to Spain, but always motivated by the fascinating cultures of the country, and the spectacular nature.
Morocco is a country of contrasts, where only short drives out of modern city centres, leads you right into societies where large parts of the social fabrics remain intact from centuries back in time.

In order to go searching for the Morocco that was, and the Morocco of our days, you have several opportunities.

Tangier is definitely worth a visit. There is a lot to see around here, the city is lively, and if you jump into taxi clean and beautiful beaches are 10 minutes away. And Tangier still carries the aura of being a a celebrities' magnet and of once having been under international administration.

And do not forget: Tangier is the real model for the famous American film "Casablanca" with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
