Description

Morocco is a land of spectacular scenery, with a rich history, and heady with tantalizing scents and colorful sights. The call of the muezzin seems to attract people from each and every corner of the globe. In 1956 Morocco gained independence from French colonial rule and was once jolted into the 20th century. Today this can be a country in transition—a unique blend of Arab, African, and European ways of life. The teeming cities have an air of sophistication and joie de vivre, but life in rural areas has stayed much the same. And at the same time as the cities are highly westernized, tradition and religion still play a vital role in the on a regular basis life of the general public. With rapid change came problems. Lack of opportunity and high unemployment resulted in a “brain drain” as educated Moroccans made their way in another country, and a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam started gaining ground a few of the urban poor. Even so, as technology becomes widespread and the world shrinks further, Morocco today is coming into its own. Culture Smart! Morocco describes the way the country’s past has shaped its present, advising tourists and business travelers on what to anticipate and how to behave in different situations.
