Morocco, Constitutional monarchy in North Africa.
Morocco extends from the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean through coastal plains into mountain ranges and finally reaches the Sahara Desert.
The French and Spanish protectorates over Morocco lasted from 1912 until 1956, when Sultan Mohammed V successfully negotiated the gradual restoration of independence.
The medina streets throughout Morocco contain traditional markets with artisans crafting leather goods, metalwork, ceramics, textiles, and carpets following ancient techniques.
Moroccan dirham serves as the national currency, with exchange offices and banks located in major cities providing money services to both residents and visitors.
The ancient city of Fez maintains the largest car-free urban area globally, with 9,000 narrow streets comprising its medieval old town district.
