Morocco lies at the crossroads of several civilizations. With its geographical position between Europe and Africa, and its proximity to the Arab world, Morocco has been influenced by many cultures. These have left an indelible mark on its architecture, language, cuisine and customs.
The presence of the Berbers, Morocco’s indigenous people, has shaped much of the country’s cultural identity. Added to this is the heritage of Arabs, Andalusians and sub-Saharan Africans, creating a unique cultural diversity.
The architectural heritage of cities like Fez and Marrakech reflects this richness. These imperial cities are living witnesses to the country’s thousand-year-old history.
