Home >> About Morocco >> Culture

Culturally, Morocco is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Only nine miles away from Europe and situated at the northernmost western tip of Africa, it is the gateway to several major civilizations: African, Islamic, Arab, and European. Many of these cultures coexisted and mingled throughout history, creating in the process a dazzling multicultural legacy that continues to fascinate scholars and educated travelers. With cities like Fez, Marrakech, Casablanca and Tangier, Morocco evokes images of freedom and beauty, exoticism and creativity. One of the most progressive countries in the Arab and Muslim worlds, Morocco is the perfect place to study the dialogue of Islam with the West.
