Morocco
Morocco, a North African country on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, stands out for its Berber, Arab, and European influences. The medina of Marrakech, a medieval district with labyrinthine streets, is a lively place, with Jemaa el-Fnaa Square and its souks (markets) selling ceramics, jewelry, and metal lanterns. The Oudayas Kasbah in Rabat, the capital, is a 12th-century royal fortress overlooking the ocean.
