A country like Morocco defies description. Set at the northwestern extremity of the African continent, Morocco is bordered by the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean, Algeria and Mauritania. In addition, Europe is visible just across the strait of Gibraltar. Islam is the state religion but freedom of religion is guaranteed. The official language is Arabic, but most people also speak French. The facts about the country abound, but
French translation services describe the country as a united people, resolute and like-minded. A people ready to accept the challenges presented by their geographic position and their history.
Casablanca, with its skyscrapers, its broad boulevards and its clear skies, represents modern Morocco on the road to progress and showing off its open-mindedness. But this doesnt begin to take into account the generosity of the Moroccan people, their legendary hospitality, the wealth of colorful crafts, variety of culinary delicacies and devotion to sacred values of Islam. The citizens of Morocco have long shown that they are capable of perpetuating those values which favor the continuity of the country and which allow its specific character to be safeguarded. Indeed, Morocco has always opened itself to others throughout history without betraying its own unique nature. Geography has made Morocco a crossroads for civilizations, both ancient and modern. Firmly united to Africa, yet with close ties to Spain and France, and with close diplomatic relations with the USA, Morocco has evolved as a business and tourist destination beyond compare.
