I visited Morocco in the Summer of 1999. Its only a short plane journey, only four hours from London.The country was totally different form anything I'd ever seen in my life before. When visting Morroco you truly feel have left Europe, althoough some architecture is similar to that in parts of Spain It looked like the scenes from Aladdin.There is lot of cultural aspects to explore in Morroco. On our stay in Morroco we visited the ancient cities and kasbahs in Marrakech. I personally think the best this to see in Morroco were the Atlas Mountains and the the extremley baking Sahara dunes in the desert. (I think they were both equally brilliant but totally different aspects of the country)
Most people in Morroco speak Arabic but French is often spoken too, the country having been under French rule at the beginning of the 20th century. While in Morroco we also visited a berber villiage, which was a bit of a culture shock so various Berber languages are spoken in Morroco too. The people in Morroco very friendly and helpful but many of them cannot speak English which is can be hard at times. The locals appreciate you making the effort and at least greeting them in Arabic or French .
You need to haggle when you want to purchase and it is useful to speak French or Arabic if you want to bargain for pottery, carpets, wooden crafts etc.

I also visit the capital city of Morroco, Rabat which is where many Morrocan kings have been buried.
Merknes is a good place stop so you can get used to the Morrocan way of life.
Fes is market town which sells authentic morrocan pottery and items which are worth haggling for as they give you a wonderful feel of Morocco so make excellent souvenir.

Marrakech is an a wonderful place and it was where spent our last nights in Morroco It is quite a busy city and there is an awful lot of noise and traffic
There are still many things to see which are very interesting and with a few great aspects corners such as the Jardin Majorelle which is owned and designed by Yves St Laurent.
Eating in the main square is an wonderful experience but hygiene isn't of a good standard, but the food is cooked in front of you so you should be OK
.
However, to have been to Morocco you must also see the Sahara desert and Atlas mountains.You must also go on a camel ride as this is a great experience. I willdefinatley remember that experience forever.

However,I thin the highlight of Morocco is the Atlas Mountains. They give you a great sensations of colours and feelings.At the time of year I visited them they were snowpeaked although the tempreture being boiling.
