There are big modern cities that have centuries old historical medinas.
There are quaint towns and villages nestled in the countryside and mountains.
And there are desert dunes in the Sahara with Berber kasbahs.
Our route was a counter clockwise circuit of the country. We saw changes in the topography which included ocean, desert, mountains and valleys.
Riding camels in the Sahara's Erg Chebbi dunes to watch the sun set was by far one of the most memorable things we did in Morocco.
The Erg Chebbi dunes are giant hills of smooth wind-blown sand that line the border between Morocco and Algeria.
They are famous for their great height and size.
They can rise up to one hundred fifty meters high (500 ft) in some places, are twenty-two kilometers long (14 miles), and five kilometers wide (3 miles).
Founded in the 9th century, Fez is the second largest city in Morocco with a population of about 1.3 million (2022).
Fez is home to the University of Al-Quaraouiyine, founded in 859AD and is believed to be the world’s oldest continuously functioning university.
The medina of Fez (Fes el Bali) dates back to the 9th century and is the largest medina in North Africa.
It is also the oldest and largest medieval city in the world.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Volubilis, in north western Morocco, was founded in the 3rd century B.C.
In the 1st century A.D., under Roman rule, it expanded dramatically and became an important outpost of the Empire.
It was located in fertile land that was perfect for agriculture and far from the chaos of Ancient Rome.
Volubilis was an exotic paradise in the Roman Empire.
Now, the ruined Roman city is the best-preserved archaeological site in Morocco.
It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997.
There are the famous lines we've all heard, such as "Here's looking at you, kid," "We'll always have Paris" and, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
