Intro to Morocco!!!!

Morocco is a country in the far northwest region of Africa. It borders the Mediterranean Sea on the north and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. About 8 miles across the Straight of Gibraltar, lies Europe and the country of Spain. From Morocco, it’s approximately a thirty-minute ferry ride to the closest point in Europe. What makes Morocco so unique and beautiful is the range of different geographic areas in the country. Fertile plains lie across Morocco’s coasts, with forested mountains along the middle of the country from southwest to northeast. Beyond the mountains resides the Sahara Desert, which takes up a big portion of Northern Africa. With wide mountains ranges, vast deserts, and grassy plains, the landscapes make Morocco an admirable place to live and visit.


The Sahara Desert is a spectacular location, like the the Atlas and Rif mountains. The climate is a little hard to get used to, but I think that most African countries share harsh weather conditions in some ways. I believe that the population is concerned about the potential climate change and other economic issue that lie ahead. Morocco is a traditional, developing country that has plans to continue growing and improving. Those problems hopefully will not stop them. Morocco is a country with pros and cons like any other area in the world.
