Morocco Travel Info

Morocco’s history is a fascinating blend of ancient civilizations, powerful dynasties, and cultural crossroads. The indigenous Berbers, or Amazigh people, were the first settlers, leaving their mark through language, customs, and art. Phoenicians, Romans, and Carthaginians followed, each shaping Morocco’s evolving identity.

The arrival of Islam in the 7th century transformed the region, ushering in the rise of powerful Islamic dynasties such as the Almoravids, Almohads, and Saadians. Their legacies remain in Morocco’s grand mosques, intricate palaces, and fortified kasbahs. Later, European influences—mainly French and Spanish—left their imprint on architecture, language, and governance. Today, Morocco is a beautiful fusion of these influences, evident in its medinas, music, cuisine, and craftsmanship.
