Press Release Summary = Perched at the top of the African mainland, Morocco offers a
vibrant mix of cultures and experiences that make it a land of contrasts. The first
image that one may conjure up when asked to think of Morocco would perchance be one
of sun-baked dusty houses set against a desert backdrop. The vision may even feature
Bedouin nomads leading camels, or a busy market bazaar with tourists and merchants
bartering good-naturedly.

Press Release Body = Perched at the top of the African mainland, Morocco offers a
vibrant mix of cultures and experiences that make it a land of contrasts. The first
image that one may conjure up when asked to think of Morocco would perchance be one
of sun-baked dusty houses set against a desert backdrop. The vision may even feature
Bedouin nomads leading camels, or a busy market bazaar with tourists and merchants
bartering good-naturedly.

However, this is not all that Morocco has to offer. There are mountain ranges that
offer fantastic skiing opportunities and coastlines with beaches that rival anything
Europe has to offer. The desert is still there of course, along with its Bedouin
nomads, offering the holidaymaker a chance to set out on the trek of a lifetime and
experience something a world away from their usual urban existence.

The Moroccan tourist industry has been growing in recent years and has been boosted
by a number of factors. The country\'s sovereign and ruler, King Mohammed VI, has
expressed a wish to attract ten million visitors a year by 2010. In terms of
location, the country is perfectly placed to offer an exotic holiday within easy
reach of mainland Europe. Nothing but a narrow strip of sea separates the country
from Spain - and there are apparently plans to connect the two countries by tunnel.
Also, Morocco is less than four hours flight from Britain. Menara airport in the
capital has had to build a new terminal to cope with the amount of air traffic it is
receiving.

\"The Moroccan property boom has gathered pace,\" property consultant Mike Bridge told
Jet2Let magazine, adding: \"With property prices rising at about 15 per cent each
year, you can buy a house in Morocco for about a third to half of the price of an
equivalent house in the south of France.\"

Anybody investing in a property is advised to go to Marrakech, as this is where the
majority of the tourist trade is centred. Parts of the city have been refurbished
to be more in line with western ideals, seeing the installation of street lights
and street paving. Property prices apparently start as low as £25,000 - although
this is for a property that will need refurbishment. However, Jet2Let advise that
refurbishment should not be too expensive, with labour available from around £10
per hour and a favourable exchange rate on the pound compared to the Moroccan
dirham.
