Welcome to
Morocco, a land rich in culture, shaped by the vagaries of history. Fancy a
change of scenery? At any time in the year, you’ll be astounded by the wide
range of experiences Morocco has to offer, from sumptuous palaces and vast
gardens to the spice-scented bustle of the souks. In just a few hours, you can
travel from the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas to the sands of the desert.
You’ll watch in fascination as the dextrous fingers of master craftsmen fashion
masterpieces of embroidery, tapestry, pottery and jewellery; each one unique in
its own way and, of course, don’t forget the fabled hospitality of the locals:
the coin of the realm!
In addition to
its rich historical and cultural heritage, Morocco boasts other major assets.
With its three thousand five hundred kilometres of sandy beaches, its forests,
mountains, oases and vast Saharan expanses, the country is already naturally
blessed with the perfect sporting context. But all of this is nicely rounded off
by high-quality facilities and infrastructure designed to offer tourists a
multitude of opportunities for sporting and leisure activities all year round.

Handicrafts constitute an essential element of Morocco’s national heritage.
They are the expression of a range of folk arts preserved over the years,
employing local materials, and designed for use in daily life.
Moroccan handicrafts are without doubt the most varied and colourful in the
Maghreb, making use of all the readily accessible materials: clay, wool, wood,
leather, metals and so on. The diversity of materials and of forms and colours,
and the high standards of craftsmanship leave you spoilt for choice.
