Morocco
Morocco nestles on the north western tip of Africa, separated from the rest of the continent by the towering Atlas Mountains and by the Sahara. Its climate, geography and history are more closely related to the Mediterranean than to the rest of Africa and for this reason visitors are often struck by the odd sensation of having not quite reached Africa. In the north, its fine beaches, lush highland valleys and evocative old cities reinforce this Mediterranean impression.Geography
Morocco’s varied geography includes no less than four separate mountain ranges, lush river valleys, beautiful sandy coasts and wide expanses of desert. The assent of the country's highest peak, Jebel Toukbal (13,665 ft./4,165 m.), is a spectacular and not particularly difficult High Atlas trek. The Moroccan coastline which fronts onto both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, offers plenty of great beaches as well as a number of fascinating old coastal cities.Development
In 1999, His Highness Crown Prince Sidi Mohammed was declared King of Morocco “His Majesty King Mohammed VI”. After his enthronement, the King uncovered his ambitious development plans for Morocco. In 2001, the Moroccan government presented Vision 2010 as Morocco’s national tourism strategy (Azur programme):The main objectives were to attract five times as many visitors in 2010 as in 2002 and to create 600,000 jobs in the tourist industry.
To achieve this goal the government decided to:
•create 6 new coastal resorts
•build new roads
•develop regional airports
•increase direct flights from all over Europe
