Morocco is a country in the northern area of Africa. It is a magnificent place to visit if you want to experience the Arabic culture. Located on the Mediterranean sea, it is a country that is popularly visited by sea.
The country has everything to keep you busy for a long time with its markets, stunning mosques, gorgeous white sanded beaches, buildings from medieval times, cruising along its gorgeous Mediterranean coast, and terrains that range from sand dune to snow covered mountains.
For those of you who want to experience the beauties of the region and help out at the same time I came up with a short list of volunteering opportunities, check them out.
