Morocco, in Northern Africa was my first international photo adventure for 2010. While I could have written an introduction to this wonderful Muslim country, the trip brochure had a good one - so when in doubt, steal!

Morocco has about 31 million people, of which about 40% are Berbers - the indigenous peoples who still speak their own language. The official languages are Arabic and French. Morocco has had a long history with France and was a French colony for most of the 20th century. Today Morocco is independent from the French and is a constitutional monarchy.
