Facts About Morocco

For an exotic vacation, Morocco could be your destination of choice. Located on the continent of Africa, across the Straight of Gibraltar from Spain, Morocco is a country that has a long interesting history and culture that some people might find fascinating and want to explore.

One of the features of Morocco that makes the country so fascinating is that it contains such a variety of multi-ethnic groups which helped shape the country into being what it is today. Many different groups of people have come to Morocco throughout history that includes Phoenicians, Jews, Arabs, Moors, Romans, and Vandals. Even though Morocco is in Africa, it is commonly referred to as an Arab country.
