Property in Morocco

Morocco is the most western of the North African countries, bordered in the north by the Mediterranean and in the west by the Atlantic. It is a country of many beaches with dramatic coastlines, mountain ranges, rivers and the great dunes of the Sahara. In the first part of the twentieth century Morocco was a French Protectorate. It became a kingdom again in 1955 and the present constitutional monarch is King Mohammed VI. There is a strong stable government with two elected chambers of representatives.

Morocco is currently one of the worlds leading emerging markets for investment in property abroad. Luxury real estate can still be purchased at excellent prices and purchasers can enjoy the exotic atmosphere, stunning natural beauty and variety this country provides.

Marrakech

Located inland from the Atlantic coast at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech has historically been known as a playground for the rich and famous. Originally built in 1070 A.D. and famed for its palaces, gardens, open markets and festivals, a French colonial influence resonates in the town’s cafes and brasseries that line the boulevards. The city is dominated by earth-red walls set within lush rose gardens, olive orchards and palm groves.

Marrakech is divided into two sections - the traditional walled city, or Medina and the modern city, the Gueliz. The town square of Marrakech, Jemaa l-Fna, is the centre of medina. By day, it is a market and in the evening the square is alive with belly-dancers, fire-eaters, acrobats, snake charmers and fortune-tellers.

Al fresco dining is most popular – specialities include barbecued kebabs, boiled snails, and tajines (stews, usually a mixture of vegetables, poultry or lamb with the addition of fruit). Arabic is the official language, but French and Spanish are widely spoken. English is generally understood in the tourist areas. Summer temperatures rise to 33ºC (95ºF) with winter temperatures rarely dropping below 14ºC (57ºF).
