Travel to Morocco
The country the agency is based in: four imperial cities, two coastlines, the High Atlas and the Sahara.
Morocco puts very different landscapes within short distances of one another: an Atlantic and a Mediterranean coast, the Rif and Atlas ranges, high plateaux and desert. The four imperial cities are Rabat, Meknes, Fez and Marrakesh.
The main international airports are Casablanca Mohammed V, Marrakesh Menara, Tangier Ibn Battouta, Fès-Saïss and Agadir Al Massira. The rail network connects Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Fez and Marrakesh, with a high-speed line between Tangier and Casablanca.
The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). The official languages are Arabic and Amazigh; French is widely used in tourism and business.
