Morocco is located in the northwest of the African continent, south of the Strait of Gibraltar, at the gateway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. Its coastline stretches over 1,700 kilometers. Its terrain is complex, with the steep Atlas Mountains in the center and north, the Upper Plateau and the pre-Saharan plateau in the east and south, and only the northwest coastal area is a narrow, low, warm plain.
Thanks to the Atlas Mountains, which run diagonally across the country and shield it from the intense heat of the Sahara Desert to the south, Morocco enjoys a pleasant climate year-round and boasts lush vegetation, earning it the nickname "A Cool Land Under the Scorching Sun" and the "Garden of North Africa." Controlled by the subtropical high pressure belt and influenced by the Canary Current, Morocco experiences a dry tropical desert climate. The Atlas Mountains stretch across the country, with Mount Toubkal (4,165 meters) being the highest point.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for traveling. In these two seasons, the temperature is suitable, the weather is sunny and there is a lot of good weather. For tourists who love photography, the light and brightness are good for taking pictures.
Spring (April-June)
The climate in Morocco is the most comfortable, with pleasant temperatures in both the desert and the coastline , and little rain along the way. The Rose Valley blooms in March and April, and the Rose Festival and Essaouira Music Festival are both held in May.
Autumn (September-October)
It’s best to avoid Ramadan, as many shops in Morocco are likely to be closed during Ramadan. Also, the timing of Ramadan varies from year to year, so check in advance.
Morocco is an amazing travel destination, a place to broaden your horizons and savor the exotic locales, snake charmers and magicians, piles of treasures in the souks, and endless cups of mint tea. It is also the gateway to the most stunning beauty of North Africa, with the desert at your doorstep and the steep Atlas Mountains behind.
Marrakech Medina
The busy, lively and noisy old town of Marrakech gathers many Moroccan tourists. It seems that more than half of the city's population hangs out here from sunrise to night, where vendors, traditional musicians, snake fans and random street jugglers are lined up.
Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert, formed approximately 2.5 million years ago, is the world's second-largest desert, second only to Antarctica, and the largest sandy desert. Its fame in China is largely due to the beautiful descriptions of it by the poet Sanmao.
Hassan II Mosque
The Hassan II Mosque, a landmark building in Casablanca, is not only a magnificent symbol of the city, but also a magnificent symbol of the country of Morocco.
Castle of the Udayas
Located in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, the Kasbah of the Udayas is a peaceful and perfect quaint town. Within the walls of this ancient castle are neatly arranged white and blue houses, with lovely and colorful flower pots embedded on the edges. It is the best and most beautiful corner of the capital.
Fez Ancient City
The back alleys, fashionable plasterwork and magnificent ancient city gates here are so attractive that you can't help but stop and take a thousand photos. For those who can tolerate strange smells, the smelly leather factories in the old city of Fez are also a popular tourist attraction.
Tangier
Tangier, the most European of Moroccan cities, is a charming city, though somewhat decadent in 20th-century literature, and it is this past that attracts many tourists.
