How It Ranks

Morocco, aka the Kingdom of Morocco, is about the same size as the state of California. It lies on the northwest coast of Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Did you know it’s only an hour ferry ride away from Spain?
Architecture in Morocco is incredibly beautiful. Marrakech, specifically, is a photographer’s dream! Famous Moroccan dishes include couscous, pastilla and tajine, all made with memorable flavors that will likely inflict a food coma. Most of the population lives in coastal cities, and it’s deemed one of the top 20 countries with an up-and-coming economy.
