Morocco
A North African kingdom at the continent's northwestern tip, Morocco is just 14 km from Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar. The capital Rabat shares prominence with Casablanca (the economic center), Marrakech (tourism capital), and Fez (cultural heart with the world's oldest university). Morocco's medinas, Atlas Mountains, and Saharan edge offer extraordinary cultural and geographic diversity.
Major cities: Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech
