Located along the coastline of North Africa, Morocco mostly comprises of Berbers, Arabs and a small Spanish community who sought refuge in the 15th century. Morocco is home to some of the largest and oldest medieval cities that are a joy to explore, while its colourful deserts and imposing mountains are a feast for the eyes; imagine lush green hills, cascading waterfalls and star-studded skies in. Despite the increasing infrastructure, Morocco has been able to retain much of its traditional charm where locals are still very much in-touch with their roots of carpet weaving and the like. In fact, the two worlds may come together to create some sights that might cause you to do a double take. After all, it’s not everyday that you see a traditionally dressed nomad trekking through the desert clutching modern conveniences like a mobile phone.
