Tucked in the northern part of Africa between the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines, Morocco is indisputably a one-stop travel destination given its rich culture and breathtaking sceneries.
The North African country boasts of the Sahara Desert, but most importantly, it houses the largest mosque in Africa – Hassan II Mosque which is also the world’s fifth largest.
The iconic Hassan II Mosque is located in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city.
