非洲西北部君主制國家
Morocco is a North African country located in the Maghreb region with coastlines on both the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, bordered by Algeria and the disputed territory of Western Sahara. The country is geopolitically significant due to its strategic location, its occupation of Western Sahara since 1975, and its territorial claims regarding Spanish-controlled enclaves and islands off its coast.

With an area of 446,300 square kilometres (172,300 sq mi), Morocco is a relatively easy country to get around in. A trip from Taroudant to Rabat will easily take you 5½ hours by car, depending on traffic conditions.

Movie-famous Casablanca might be the most famous of Moroccan cities and is home to the huge Hassan II mosque, the second largest mosque in the world with only the Grand Mosque of Mecca surpassing it. Many travellers quickly leave this vibrant and modernist metropolis on a search for a more traditional Moroccan experience, but admiring the impressive colonial architecture, Hispano-Moorish and art-deco outlook of the city centre is actually time well spent. Marrakesh, known as the "Red City" and probably the most prominent former imperial capital, will leave you with memories to cherish for life. Spend your days wandering through the lively souqs, admiring the old gates and defense walls, see the Saadian Tombs, the remnants of the El Badi Palace and visit the Koutoubia Mosque with its 12th century minaret. However, when evening falls make sure to head back to Jamaa el-Fnaa, the largest square in Africa, as it fills up with steam-producing food stalls. Indulge in the bustling activity there, listen to Arabic story tellers, watch magicians and Chleuh dancers. Fez, once Morocco's capital, is another gorgeous imperial city. Get lost in its lovely labyrinth of narrow Medieval streets, enjoy its huge medina, see the beautiful city gates, the ancient University of Al-Karaouine and the Bou Inania Madrasa. Also, make sure to visit a traditional leather tanning factory. The city of Meknes i…

Moroccan cuisine is often reputed to be some of the best in the world, with countless dishes and variations proudly bearing the country's colonial and Arabic influences; see French cuisine and Middle Eastern cuisine. Unfortunately as a tourist through Morocco, especially if you're on a budget, you'll be limited to the handful of dishes that seem to have a monopoly on cafe and restaurant menus throughout the country. Most restaurants serve dishes foreign to Morocco considering that Moroccans can eat their domestic dishes at home. Apart from major cities, Moroccans do not generally eat out in restaurants so choice is generally limited to international fare such as French, Italian and Chinese cuisine.
摩洛哥王国(阿拉伯语:المملكة المغربية,柏柏爾語:ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ),通稱摩洛哥(المغرب;ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ)是北非西端马格里布的一个君主立宪制国家。其东部与阿尔及利亚接壤,南部其实际管辖的西撒哈拉地区与毛里塔尼亚紧邻,西部滨临大西洋,并向北隔直布罗陀海峡和地中海与葡萄牙、西班牙相望。首都为拉巴特,最大城市卡萨布兰卡。 摩洛哥在历史上连续由多个独立王朝统治,首个王朝为788年建立的伊德里斯王朝。在穆拉比特王朝和穆瓦希德王朝的统治下,摩洛哥的国力达到顶峰,国土范围涵盖西北非大部,势力触及伊比利亚半岛。随后的马林王朝和萨阿德王朝时期,摩洛哥受到外国一定威胁,但仍免遭奥斯曼土耳其征服,成为西北非唯一的独立国家。阿拉维王朝于1631年建立,其统治一直延续到今日。1912年摩洛哥沦为殖民地性质的保护国,领土被法国和西班牙瓜分。1956年摩洛哥重获独立,并在地区范围内成长为强权,1979年完成对西撒哈拉大部分地区的控制,其在西撒哈拉的权力要求未完全被国际主流所认可,但阿拉伯国家联盟明确承认西撒哈拉是摩洛哥的领土。摩洛哥認為其北海岸由西班牙實際管轄接壤的休達、梅利利亞及西属主权地為其領土。 摩洛哥是二元制君主立宪制国家,行政权归于政府,立法权归于政府和议会两院,国王仍然握有行政和立法权力,在军事、外交和宗教事务拥有较大话语权。伊斯兰教是摩洛哥的主要宗教,官方语言包括现代标准阿拉伯语和柏柏尔语,其中后者于2011年获得官方地位。摩洛哥人主要使用摩洛哥阿拉伯语作为口语,其和现代标准阿拉伯语有一定差异;由于历史原因,摩洛哥同时也使用法语和西班牙语。 摩洛哥现为阿拉伯国家联盟、非洲联盟和地中海联盟成员国,是非洲第五大经济体。

There are the usual more modern hotels or equivalent found anywhere in the big cities and larger towns around Morocco. On the lower end of the budget scale, HI-affiliated youth hostels can be found in the major cities (dorm beds from around 50 dirham) while the cheapest budget hotels (singles from around 65 dirham) are usually located in the medina. Newer, cleaner and slightly more expensive budget (singles from around 75 dirham) and mid-range hotels that are sprinkled throughout the ville nouvelles.
Hotels can sometimes be very basic and often lack hot water and showers, while others will charge you 5-10 dirham for a hot water shower. With the exception of large high end hotels, expect the hot water supply in hotels to not be as stable as in more established countries. In Marrakech, MHamid, near Ourzazate and possibly other places, the hot water temperature varies dramatically while you take a shower. Instead, consider public hammams as there are quite a lot of them in the medina and in rural areas. Hotels in Morocco are a matter of choice and fit every budget. Classified hotels are 1-star (simple) to 5-star (luxury), and are classified as an auberge, riad, rural gîtes d'étape or hotel. Stays usually include breakfast, and many include dinner.
Auberges are found in the country or in rural small towns, and are built in the traditional mud (kasbah) style, many with wood burning fireplaces and salons or roof …

Overall, Morocco remains a relatively safe place.
Like any country, Morocco has its share of problems. Many can be easily avoided by following common sense. Avoid dark alleys. Travel in a group whenever possible. Keep money and passports in a safety wallet or in a hotel safety deposit box. Keep backpacks and purses with you at all times. Make sure there is nothing important in outside or back pockets.
Drug laws are incredibly harsh in Morocco, as are the laws against prostitution and the importation, distribution and production of pornography.
As in all of North Africa, the dominant religion is Islam, therefore, appropriate religious prohibitions and attitudes should be in order. If visiting a mosque, for example, be sure to be dressed conservatively and remove your shoes before entering it.
The land border can be crossed to Spain (Ceuta and Melilla) and to Mauritania. The border crossings to Algeria are closed since 1994. There are ferries to the Spanish mainland.
