The Berbers, the ancient tribes of Morocco, settled in the area thousands of years ago and at one time controlled an empire between Morocco and Egypt. France became colonial ruler in the 19th Century before independence was gained by Morocco in 1956. Morocco remains a monarchy. The population of Morocco is now a mix of Islamic, Arab, African, Berber and French cultures.
Best between the milder months of September to October and March to May. Winter is generally fine and warm except in the mountains and the far North. July to August is extremely hot inland although coastal areas have the advantage of sea breeze and water to help you cool down.
