About My country (Morocco)

The Kingdom of Morocco 
is a country in North Africa. It has a long coastline on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Algeria to the east, the Mediterranean Sea and Spain to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to its west. The border to the south is disputed. Morocco claims ownership of Western Sahara and has administered most of the territory since 1975.
Morocco, a constitutional monarchy, is the only African country that is not currently a member of the African Union. However, it is a member of the Arab League, Arab Maghreb Union, Organization of the Islamic Conference, Mediterranean Dialogue group, Group of 77 and major non-NATO ally.
Brilliantly colorful, compelling architecturally, astonishing historically, the Imperial Kingdom of Morocco has long been one of the world's most extolled, exotic travel destinations…for painters, writers, adventurers, and photographers...
This beautiful country is in the North of Africa, Islamic nation with a little known, strong American friendship connection. With its centuries-old layers of Mediterranean civilizations beginning with ancient Greeks traders up to present day rug-weaving, blue eyed, blond haired Berbers, Morocco was the first nation to send congratulations to President George Washington after the American independence. The Sultan's letter is in the National Archives in Washington..
Visiting Morocco's four Imperial Cities: Rabat, Meknes, Fez, and Marrakesh, as well as ancient kasbahs and emerald green oases along the Sahara, and magical, dazzlingly white Essaouira, the ancient Portuguese fort on the Atlantic, there is one important thing to keep one thing in mind. When you are walking and photographing in one of Morocco's medieval souks, or markets, pay attention when you hear "balek, balek." Mule drivers mean it when they yell, "Get out of the way!"
