Morocco

A young country with an old history, Morocco is a photographer's delight and a budget traveler's dream. It's cheap, exotic, and easier and more appealing than ever. Along with a rich culture, Morocco offers plenty of contrast — from beach resorts to bustling desert markets, from jagged mountains to sleepy, mud-brick oasis towns. And a visit to Morocco — so close to Europe, yet embracing the Arabic language and script and Muslim faith — lets a Westerner marinated in anti-Muslim propaganda see what Islam aspires to be...and can be.
