Location: Bordered in the north by the Mediterranean Sea (Spain is only an hour’s ferry ride away) and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, Morocco is blessed with beaches. Add to that four dominating mountain ranges, the great oases and dunes of the Sahara and nearly 30 million Berbers and Arabs and Africans and Europeans – Moroccans all – and you have a subtropical land of remarkable geographic, climatic and cultural diversity.

From Casablanca to Rabat, Fez and Tangier, Morocco and its ancient settlements have long captured the imagination of writers and artists. None, however, has inspired travelers more than Marrakech, an ancient city steeped in the polyglot cultures of Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Founded nearly a thousand years ago, the city has been anointed imperial capital more than once over the centuries. Located in west central Morocco, Marrakech is the gateway to the south and the dunes of the Sahara.

Climate: Morocco’s latitude is similar to that of Southern California. Like California, Morocco’s varied landscape shapes a climate of considerable diversity, with extremes in the desert and mountain regions. While you may not want to experience Morocco’s southern desert in July or August, summer hiking in the Atlas Mountains is a popular activity. Summers in Marrakech are hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 38°C (100°F). Sun is the rule year-round, with occasional rain falling from October through April. Marrakech’s long temperate winters, November to April, settle in with pleasant average temperatures of 22°C (71°F).
