One of the most spectacular and still untouched Morocco destinations is the scenic Ait Bougmez Valley. This naturally wrapped parcel of land resides in the central High Atlas Mountains.

Where is Morocco:

Morocco is not Monaco. Nor is it the Maldives nor Madagascar. Though the latter would at least give you the right continent. No, Morocco is located in the upper northwestern jog of the African continent. The borders, both natural and man-made, are the Mediterranean Sea to the North, the Atlantic to the West, Algeria to the east and southeast and the Western Sahara to the south-southwest. Though some major cities, such as Casablanca and Rabat seem mildly dense–there are only 56 people per square kilometer. That’s not too many people once you consider the US is 31 per square kilometer.
