This historic crossroads between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East has pretty much seen it all, from ancient Phoenician seafarers to Roman conquerors like Caligula to the soldiers of the Prophet Muhammad to the armies of the Axis and Allied powers in World War II. • Its cities are legendary—world-weary Tangier, colorful Marrakech, medieval Fez. • The red crags of the Er Rif plunge into the Mediterranean, the Atlas Mountains shelter quiet Berber villages. • Mud-brick casbahs, teeming markets, cool sea breezes, the Sahara's sculpted seas of sand. • Morocco serves up a heady stew of history, tradition, and modernism.
