Movies like Casablanca, Babel, Patton, Spectre, American Sniper, or Inception have all been shot in Morocco, a slice of paradise in the north eastern portion of Africa.
The reason why so many directors have fallen for it is because of its vast landscape diversity. This country of 33.8 million people is surrounded by deserts, cities, waterfalls, mountains, hundreds of breathtaking sites, and a culture notably known for its welcoming nature.
A mint tea steaming from a silver bowl, sumptuous fabrics strewn in the markets, mouth watering Tajine filled with colorful vegetables, almonds, prunes, or lamb, artisans in every corner, Morocco is rich with history with tribes living there for centuries.
The country balances masterfully the old and the new. It’s obvious why movie makers, photographers, and writers alike are inspired by its terrain. It is a spiritual place that reminds us of the foundations of civilization and the rise of modernity.
After taking a look at the following photographs you might consider Morocco as your next vacation getaway.
Morocco and its unrivaled beauty, its people, landscapes, flora, and fauna immediately catch our eyes. As you can see, the country embodies a piece of each place in the world.
