Summary/Abstract: Morocco’s remarkable naturalistic diversity consists of mountain landscapes, forests, grasslands, oases, seasonal rivers, deserts and beaches on the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The temperature, cooler in the morning, reached around 20° C at noon, sometimes even more. The food is varied, especially beef and lamb, with boiled vegetables, sauces and condiments. Wine is produced locally and imported, alcoholic beverages are freely traded, but consumption in public spaces is usually restricted; the national drink is mint tee. The cultural footprint is due to the location between two continents and three cultures – Arab, African and European. The population is extremely hospitable. The French language facilitates personal contacts. The invitation to a traditional cold or warm mint tea is also common with foreigners, as in my case in 1974. All practiced hotels, of several stars, are comfortable, elegant and quiet; there are no rooms numbered 13, 113, 213 etc.! Services at hotels, restaurants, shops are polite and usually prompt (especially for the Arab world). Highly developed tourism. A country with a beautiful landscape, with an extremely hospitable population, worth visiting.
