Indeed, Morocco has diversified landscapes, desert to mountains through the fertile plains, which border the coast of 3,500 kilometers. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, by the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea to the north, by Algeria to the east, and to the south by Mauritania. Morocco also has a rich and varied desert, oases and green palm groves, arid and stony plateaus, magical sand dunes, Kasbahs and fortified ksours. It has a rich and eventful history and this thanks to the passage of several dynasties that ruled for centuries, idrissids to the Alawite dynasty, passing the Almoravids, Almohads, Mérinides, Wattassides and Saâdiens.
