Travel Guide, Morocco

First put on the travel map by its popularity within 1960s hippie crew in general and Jimi Hendrix in particular, Morocco still remains a popular travel destination for backpackers and jetsetters alike. The allure of Morocco mostly lies in its diversity, with killer surfing, challenging mountain treks, desert dunes, a rich Berber culture, and enough shopping and culinary delights to keep the senses tingling throughout your journey. No matter what your fancy, Morocco is sure to have it.
