The Kingdom of Morocco—a land where sand dunes kiss the edge of the ocean, and ancient cities whisper tales of empires. To the Ancient Greeks, this is where the Hesperides dwelled, and where the city of Atlantis fell. The snow-capped Atlas Mountains, shrouded in ancient Berber lore, were thought to carry the world on their shoulders. But little is known about this civilizational crossroad whose Empires have conquered all of Spain, Portugal, and North Africa. This is where East meets West. Welcome to the Cherifian Kingdom of Morocco.
