Alsalam ealaykum
Whether you are going backpacking, visiting on a tour or on your own budget trip, Morocco will definitely leave an impression.
From the high Atlas mountains to the desert to the coasts, Morocco is an amazing country that hits all traveller’s senses. You may love it or hate it but you’ll walk away from a better traveler because you went.
