Dark ages saw the Roman-Morocco. In medieval ages, these lands were home to one of the most advanced civilizations. Today's Morocco is however, is more influenced by the French period of after World War I. In the streets you'll hear French being spoken as often as Arabic. Morocco has coasts in both Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Most people will enter this country through the international airport in the magical city of Casablanca on the Atlantic coast. Casablanca is a dreamy city. From there, you have to travel further south, inlands, to the old city of Marrakesh, an area steaming with history and culture. Getting lost in the maze of souks and discovering the unique architecture of old monuments, especially mosques, you will enjoy every minute spent here. For those who are looking for more casual approaches to their travel, Atlantic coasts provide very good opportunities and facilities for family style summer vacations.
