The Kingdom of Morocco is situated on the northwest tip of Africa, with the Atlantic Ocean on one coast and the Mediterranean on the other. Morocco is easily accessible; it is only fourteen kilometres away from Europe across the straits of Gibraltar.

Moroccan cuisine is one of the finest in the world. The national dish is the tajine, which has as many variations as there are regions in Morocco. The national drink is mint tea. Salads, couscous, pastilla, fish and other seafood, and delicious pastries contribute to the gastronomic delights.

The alluring essence of Morocco filters through the layered rituals of daily life; fragrant mint tea ceremonies, families gathering for feasts of succulent lamb and vegetable couscous, and the sing-song of women and children shopping at the local markets.

 

Morocco is many things to travellers - exotic, magical, beautiful and tantalising. From camel rides in the Sahara, carpet buying rituals in the medina, fortune telling in Marrakech' square, everyone's experience is unique. Many travellers return with fond memories and renewed desire for the charm and diversity of Moroccan culture and cuisine.

The weather varies from Mediterranean in the north, to sub-tropical in the south. The nearness of the sea and the Rif and Atlas mountain ranges guarantees a pleasant climate all year round.

At Zelij Moroccan Interiors, we welcome all to experience the Moroccan way of life. To learn and understand the many elements that have contributed to a vibrant, exciting and beautiful people who encourage others to enjoy the richness of their cultural heritage.
