Morocco has hotels to suit all budgets. High end chain hotels (Sheraton, Hyatt, etc) can be found in the ville nouvelle regions of all major tourist centres, while in smaller cities classy guesthouses--essentially palatial Moroccan townhouses (riads) converted into boutique hotels--will satisfy your desires.

The population of Morocco is mostly Arab and Berber in origin. The Berbers were the original inhabitants of the region, before the arrival of the Arabs in the 7th century. More than half of Morocco's people live in urban areas. These are concentrated mainly in the plateaus and coastal regions.

Women’s Learning Partnership for Rights, Development, and Peace (WLP) convened the Maghreb Regional Learning Institute for Women’s Leadership and Training of Trainers from December 11-14, 2004 in Marrakech, Morocco. The goal of the Institute was to empower women in the Maghreb region to actively participate as effective leaders and advocates in the decision-making processes that affect their personal, family, community, and national condition, and to develop their facilitation skills in training grassroots women to be leaders working towards gender equity and human rights for all citizens. Twenty-six women’s rights activists and leaders of women’s groups from Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia participated in the Institute. The Institute was one of the first training and networking forums that brought women activists and trainers together from across the region.

Marrakech (sometimes spelt as Marrakesh)... known as the "Pearl of the South" is one of the most enchanting cities in Morocco. As soon as you arrive in Marrakech, you'll immediately fall under the spell of this magical place with its fascinating people, culture and history. Although one of the most visited touristic regions of Morocco, the local property market has only been concentrated on resales. Large developments like Samanah Country Club have only recently started taking shape.

Demonstrations occur frequently in Morocco and usually center on local domestic issues. During periods of heightened regional tension, large demonstrations may take place in the major cities. All demonstrations require a government permit, but on occasion spontaneous unauthorized demonstrations occur, which have greater potential for violence. Travelers should be cognizant of the current levels of tension in Morocco and stay informed of regional issues that could resonate in Morocco and create an anti-American response. Avoid demonstrations if at all possible. If caught in a demonstration, remain calm and move away immediately when provided the opportunity.
