WE OFFER THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY DESERT EXPERIENCE!

History of Morocco

Morocco gained its independence in 1956 and is now ruled by King Mohammed VI as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Morocco is home to the indigenous Berber tribe, which has its own spoken language. Arabs began to live in North Africa around the 7th century. Influenced by Arab culture, most Moroccans practise Islam. The proximity to Europe (only half an hour by ferry from northern Morocco to Spain) and the influence of Morocco as a French and Spanish protectorate in previous centuries have led to a mixing of our traditional cultures. Today, Moroccans are made up of Arabs and Berbers, and the people usually speak Arabic, and French, but many still use our mother tongue: Berber.
