Morocco reminds me of the
city of Marrakech, the shopping paradise of this north African country that boats with all sorts of leather goods, exotic foods, and spices. Morocco also prefigures iron, phosphates, lead, and zinc reserves. Lastly, the country is alluded for its fish industry and salt production.
You might be wondering why Morocco's such a rich country while it's hardly mentioned in business news. Well, maybe because the natural resources of the country suffice its needs as well as its borders – Algeria and Sahara. Since two large bodies of water (Mediterranean and
Atlantic Ocean) bound Morocco, it's more renowned as a tourist spot. Indeed, its 1,835 kilometers of coastline invites divers and excursionists who are also entitled to savor the Mediterranean climate of Morocco.
The geographic structure of Morocco comprises a land area totaling 446,550 square kilometers dominated by mountain ranges, tablelands that also serve as boundaries, valleys, and flatlands with fertile soils nourished by coastal waters. About half of its land is dedicated to pastures. Only a small part is considered as forest land and the rest are used for growing crops.
Majority of Moroccans are of Arab descent, while only a small percentage is Jewish. Some six years ago, the population of Morocco reached 30,122,350. The greater part of the populace are Muslims, the major religion in Africa.
