Morocco
Morocco is a country in northwest Africa. Its long coastline on the Atlantic Ocean ends beyond the Strait of Gibraltar on the Mediterranean. South of Morocco is borded by Mauritania. To the east and southeast, Morocco is bordered by Algeria. At some distance from the coast are atlantiquese the Canary Islands and Madeira. North of the Strait of Gibraltar Spain is.

The administrative capital is Rabat. Among large cities found remarkable Casablanca, Agadir, Fes, Marrakech, Meknes, Tetouan, Tangier, Oujda, Ouarzazate and Laayoune.

Geography: Beach, Mountains, Desert

Beach

Long Moroccan coast about 3 500 km are highly regarded. There are a lot of beach resorts on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coast: Saidia , Nador Capo de l’eau, Mazagan , Dakhla ,Mahdia……

Morocco becomes the increasingly favorite destination for surfers especially the southern beaches. 

Mountains

Mountains cover more than two thirds of Moroccan territory and reach significant heights. Several peaks cross bar 4000 m. Toubkal, the highest peak in the country, culminating at 4167 m. The Morocco has four main mountain ranges, and is the only Maghreb country to have a huge mountain of Atlas.

First in the north, the mountains of the Rif or Jebel bordering the Mediterranean. The highest peak reaches 2,456  is called Jebel Tidirhine. The Rif offers various altitudes as its regions surfaces. In fact, in the west, we find especially thorny vegetation (firs, pines and cedars). On the other side, it grows in arid steppe and scrub and still further east, it contains hemp, which however is not harvested. Further on the Mediterranean coast and in the interior, it is possible to note three other huge chains: the Middle Atlas, High Atlas and Anti-Atlas, where we still find after a diversity of landscapes.

The Middle Atlas, which is the "water tower" of Morocco's Rif separated by arid eastern plains and fertile west. The two channels are separated by the famous patch of Taza. The Middle Atlas is composed of two parts in different landscapes. To the east, there are the massive cliffs with peaks over 3100 m as Jbel Bou Naceur or Bouiblane. These summits are experiencing significant snow falls. Westward chain softened to make way for more affordable reliefs and leaving room for a few small plates. Middle Atlas chain is bordered on the south by the High Atlas

It is in the High Atlas, majestic chain that encircles the country from east to west as the Toubkal peak at about 4167 m.

Desert

In the south, Erg Chebbi, near the Algerian border, is the second largest area of ​​stones and sand in Morocco after Erg Chegaga. Some dunes can reach 200 meters in height

climate

The Moroccan climate is both Mediterranean and Atlantic, with a hot, dry season coupled with a cold and wet season, the end of the warm period being marked by the October rains.

The presence of the sea reduces the temperature differences, moderates the seasons and increases the moisture in the air (400 to 1000 mm of rain on the coast). In the interior, the climate varies with altitude. Summers are hot and dry, especially when the hot sirocco blows or the Chergui, summer wind from the Sahara. In this season, average temperatures are 22 ° C to 24 ° C. Winters are cold and wet with frost and snow. The average temperature then evolves - 2 ° C to 14 ° C and can drop to - 26 ° C. In mountainous areas, rainfall is very high (more than 2000 mm of rainfall Rif or 1800 mm in the Middle Atlas). The pre-Saharan and Saharan Morocco has a dry desert climate.

The climate in Morocco can be divided into seven sub-areas, as determined by the different influences experienced by the country: oceanic influences, Mediterranean, mountain, continental and Saharan.

Tourism

Morocco has reached the symbolic threshold of 10 million tourists in 2013, something not seen in Africa.

Most tourists are of European origin (French, British, German, Spanish ...) but also Americans, Arabs and Asians.

In 2011, foreign tourists were mainly nationality1: French with 1,775,961 tourists, with 693,255 Spanish tourists from the United Kingdom with 352,141 tourists, with 258,620 Belgian tourists, with 211,405 Italian tourists, with 219,576 German tourists. Moroccan tourists residing abroad recorded 4,408,250 arrivals. We notice a predominance of European countries (84% of foreign tourists), due to the geographical proximity; Indeed the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco facilitates home where the considerable body of French and Spanish tourists. Moreover, these two languages ​​are most commonly spoken in the Moroccan territory, which is a major argument for the arrival of tourists. Note also in the category "other nationalities", the strong presence of Canadian and especially American tourists.

In 2011, Morocco remains the favorite destination of French. The city attracts them most is Marrakech2.
