1. On ne change pas une dynastie qui gagne
Le Roi du Maroc, Mohamed VI, est issu d’une famille qui règne sur le Maroc depuis 1666, la dynastie des Alaouites. Elle est l’une des familles royales régnantes les plus anciennes du monde. Un peu comme Vladimir Poutine, sauf que lui, il est tout seul.
2. Un nom qui vient du Portugal (v’là aut’ chose !)
Le nom français "Maroc" dérive en réalité de la prononciation portugaise de Marrakech, "Marrocos". On ne verra plus jamais l’accent portugais comme avant. Le nom complet local lui serait plutôt "Al Mamlakah al Maghribiyah".
3. Le Maroc est en Europe. Ou presque...
Le Maroc possède en effet 16 kilomètres de frontière terrestre commune avec l’Union européenne, via l’Espagne et les enclaves de Ceuta (6 kilomètres) et Melilla (10 kilomètres) située en Afrique. Pas besoin de bateau pour passer du Maroc à l'Espagne !
4. ...Mais n'en fera jamais parti
En 1987, le Maroc a tenté d'adhérer à la CEE (Communauté Economique Européenne). Sans succès, il s'est vu octroyer en 2008 un « statut avancé » auprès de l’Union européenne (personne ne sait vraiment ce que c'est on vous rassure vous n'êtes pas seul(e). Avec la Turquie, Israël ou la Serbie, ils pourraient presque faire un club des pays rejetés !
5. Les Marocains, ces montagnards
On imagine trop souvent le Maroc pour ses places et ses déserts. Les montagnes occupent en réalité plus des deux tiers du territoire. Plusieurs sommets franchissent même la barre des 4 000 m: le Jbel Toubkal, le plus haut sommet du pays, culmine à 4 167 m. Hâte de goûter la fondue marocaine cet hiver ?
6. Cannabis Land (t'en veux ?)
La région du Rif (nord Maroc) est la première productrice de résine de cannabis d’Europe (88 % du cannabis consommé en Europe) et le Maroc serait même le plus gros producteur de cannabis... du monde ! C’est quand même plus peace que d’exporter des armes. Et tant qu'on y est le Maroc est aussi le plus grand producteur de sardines en boite au monde (ça y est tu mourras moins bête)
7. Non Marrakech n'est pas la capitale.
Ca c'est le Club Med qui vous fait croire ça. Et Casablanca non plus d'ailleurs. La capitale du Maroc, c'est Rabat. Mais ne vous inquiétez pas, il y a plein d'autres villes dans le monde qu'on prend pour ces capitales

After the Berber revolt in the failing Umayyad Caliphate few Berber states were born which were eventually to form modern Morocco. After the Fall of the First Dynasty in the 970s Morocco quickly expanded to grow to include most of western Africa in the 1100s via the Almoravid dynasty. They experienced another golden age under the Almohad and Marinids but sooned collapsed in smaller vice-royalties and principalities. Under the Saadian dynasty they did make some advances in west africa but were being overcomed by European colonies. In the 1640s the Alaouite dynasty, which is the current dynasty, was founded.However they too were overrun and by the late 1800s to Early 1900 they lost all there land in Algeria, Mauritania, and Western Sahara and became a French protectorate. they regained there independence in 1956 and and since to take back former colonial lands and take a Majority of the Western Sahara.

Ferries to Morocco: http://ferriesmorocco.com/
Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco is a country located in North Africa. It has a population of nearly 32 million and an area of 710.850 km², including the disputed Western Sahara which is mainly under Moroccan administration. Morocco has a coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Spain to the north (a water border through the Strait and land borders with three small Spanish exclaves, Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera), Algeria to the east, and Mauritania to the south.[6]
Morocco is a de jure constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The King of Morocco, holds vast executive powers, including dissolving parliament. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives and the Assembly of Councillors. Parliamentary elections were held in Morocco on 7 September 2007, and were considered by observers as mostly free and fair. Though voter turnout was estimated to be 37%, the lowest in Moroccan political history. The political capital is Rabat, and the largest city is Casablanca; other large cities includes Fes, Salé, Agadir, Marrakesh, Tangier, Meknes, Oujda and Tetouan.
The history of Morocco spans over 12 centuries, and the country was first unified by the Idrisid dynasty in 780, representing the first Islamic state in Africa autonomous from the Arab Empire. Under the Almoravid dynasty and the Almohad dynasty, Morocco dominated the Maghreb and muslim Spain. The Reconquista ended Almohad rule in Iberia and many muslims and Jews migrated to Morocco. Under the Saadi Dynasty, Morocco would consolidate power and fight off Portugese and Ottoman invaders, as in the battle of Ksar el Kebir. The reign of Ahmad al-Mansur brought new wealth and prestige to the Sultanate, and an invasion of the Songhay Empire was initiated. However managing the territories across the Sahara proved to difficult. After the death of al-Mansur the country was divided among his sons. In 1666 the sultanate was reunited by the Alaouite dynasty, who have since been the ruling house in Morocco. The organization of the state developed with Ismail Ibn Sharif. With his Black Guard he drove the English from Tangier (1684) and the Spanish from Larache (1689). The Alaouite dynasty distinguished itself in the 20th century by maintaining Moroccan independence while other states in the region succumbed to European interests. In 1912, after the First Moroccan Crisis and the Agadir Crisis, the Treaty of Fez was signed, effectively dividing Morocco into a French and Spanish protectorate. In 1956, after 44 years of occupation Morocco regained indepedence from France as the Kingdom of Morocco.,
Morocco has a rich culture and civilization, which remained mainly indigenous throughout times and the Moroccan cuisine has long been considered as one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. The population is almost entirely Arab-Berber. Although Moroccan Arabic is the majority language, modern studies show that the Arabization process in Morocco was mostly cultural. The Moroccans or Moroccan Arabs, are a largely homogenous group speaking Moroccan Arabic, altough regional variation does occur. The Berber people in Morocco can be divided in three main groups with different dialects. The Riffians, the Chleuh and the Central Moroccan Amazigh. A large jewish community lived in Morocco before the creation of Israel, numbering approximately 265,000 in 1948. Between 7,000 and 12,000 live there now, mostly in Casablanca, but also in Fes and other main cities. A call made by late king Hassan II to return to Morocco was not answered.
Morocco is the world's third-largest producer of phosphorus and the price fluctuations of phosphates on the international market greatly influence Morocco's economy.

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V contains the tombs of the Moroccan king and his two sons, late King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. It is located on the opposite side of the Hassan Tower on the Yacoub al-Mansour esplanade in Rabat, Morocco. The building is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture, with its white silhouette, topped by a typical green tiled roof. Its construction was completed in 1971. Hassan II was buried there following his death in 1999.

The history of Morocco spans over twelve centuries, without taking Classical antiquity into consideration. The territory corresponding to Morocco has been inhabited by Berbers for 5000 years. The country was first unified by the Idrisid dynasty in 789, half a century after the Berber Revolt, that led to its independence from the Arab Caliphate. Under the Almoravid dynasty and the Almohad dynasty, Morocco dominated the Maghreb and Muslim Spain. The Reconquista ended Almohad rule in Iberia and many Muslims and Jews migrated to Morocco. Under the Saadi dynasty, Morocco would consolidate power and fight off Portuguese and Ottoman invaders, as in the battle of Ksar el Kebir. The reign of Ahmad al-Mansur brought new wealth and prestige to the Sultanate, and an invasion of the Songhai Empire was initiated.

Habité dès la préhistoire par des populations berbères, le territoire marocain a connu des peuplements phéniciens, carthaginois, romains, vandales, byzantins avant d'être islamisé par les Arabes. C'est en 788, lors de son exil qu'Idris Ier, fuyant les persécutions du califat des Abbassides, a donné naissance à un État dans ce Maghreb el-Aqça (Maghreb extrême ou extrême couchant)1. Le Maroc a toujours gardé, si ce n'est une indépendance absolue, du moins une très forte autonomie2.
Selon l'historien Bernard Lugan, l'attrait, entre autres, des richesses provenant du commerce du Sud (le Sahara) vers le Nord (l'Occident) va attirer les convoitises de diverses tribus avec pour ville carrefour Marrakech (la porte du désert) qui deviendra naturellement la capitale de diverses dynasties, en particulier celles venant du Sud (Almoravides, Almohades, Saadiens) ; c'est la raison pour laquelle, toute l'histoire du Maroc (des Idrissides aux Alaouites) fut marquée par le commerce des richesses du Sud vers le Nord. L'histoire et l'origine du Maroc furent, sont et seront marquées par le lien avec le Sahara
La fondation du Maroc, pays se considérant arabo-berbère, africain et musulman, se fait avec les Idrissides qui allièrent à leur cause diverses tribus contrôlant des petits royaumes ou territoires indépendants de tout pouvoir central15. Au fur et à mesure des alliances, les Idrissides vont étendre leur influence territoriale avec des populations autochtones et lancer les bases de l'organisation d'un État constitué (Makhzen) reprises par les dynasties suivantes. Si les Idrissides vont commencer à dessiner les bases de l'État et des frontières de l'actuel Maroc, ce sont les Almoravides qui en créant leur capitale Marrakech donneront au pays son nom (le nom Maroc est dû à la déformation linguistique française de Marrakech) ; ils consolideront et élargiront l'œuvre débutante et fragile des Idrissides ; les dynasties suivantes hériteront de l'expérience étatique précédente.
Même si d'autres civilisations du bassin méditerranéen (Rome, Carthage...) ont enrichi l'histoire du pays et même, si des populations de l'actuel Maroc vont participer à l'essor de ces civilisations, les historiens du Maroc considèrent que l'impact de ces civilisations a été limité à l'extrême nord du Maroc et à certains comptoirs commerciaux.
À propos du Maroc, le terme Empire est parfois utilisé car par définition, un empire est un ensemble d'états ou de royaumes (voir les différentes cartes du Maroc). Ceci explique l'appellation « villes impériales » utilisée encore de nos jours pour qualifier les villes de Fès, Marrakech, Meknès et Rabat16.
Lorsque le Maroc se forme, le reste du Maghreb est éclaté sous forme de royaumes ou territoires indépendants, parfois concurrents ou en guerre, sans pouvoir central c'est-à-dire non organisés en État dirigé par des populations autochtones. L'organisation en État structuré permit aux Saadiens et aux Alaouites de s'opposer à l'expansion ottomane qui s'arrêta au fleuve de la Moulouya et qui s'étendait sur une grande partie des autres pays arabes actuels.
Des désaccords apparus au début du XXe siècle dans la famille alaouite et dans le makhzen plus globalement suite à des problèmes de gestion du pays, créent une période d'instabilité dont vont profiter plusieurs puissances coloniales (Allemagne, Grande-Bretagne, Espagne, France) pour essayer de s'emparer du pays en raison entre autres une position géostratégique intéressante. Après bien des tractations houleuses et secrètes qui faillirent déclencher, dès 1911, la Première Guerre mondiale (coup d'Agadir), le Maroc est partagé entre la France et l'Espagne.

The Alaouite Dynasty is the name of the current Moroccan royal family. The name Alaouite comes from the ‘Alī of its founder Moulay Ali Cherif who became Prince of Tafilalt in 1631. His son Mulay Al-Rashid (1664–1672) was able to unite and pacify the country. The Alaouite family claim descent from Muhammad through the line of Fāṭimah az-Zahrah, Muhammad's daughter, and her husband, the Fourth Caliph ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib.
According to some legends the Alaouites entered Morocco at the end of the 13th century when Al Hassan Addakhil, who lived then in the town of Yanbu in the Hejaz, was brought to Morocco by the inhabitants of Tafilalet to be their imām. They were hoping that, as he was a descendant of Muhammad, his presence would help to improve their date palm crops thanks to his barakah "blessing", an Arabic term meaning a sense of divine presence or charisma. His descendants began to increase their power in southern Morocco after the death of the Saʻdī ruler Ahmad al-Mansur (1578–1603). In 1669, the last Saʻdī sultan was overthrown in the conquest of Marrakesh by Mulay r-Rshid (1664–1672). After the victory over the zāwiya of Dila, who controlled northern Morocco, he was able to unite and pacify the country.

Lorsque le Maroc se forme, le reste du Maghreb est éclaté sous forme de royaumes ou territoires indépendants, parfois concurrents ou en guerre, sans pouvoir central c'est-à-dire non organisés en État dirigé par des populations autochtones. L'organisation en État structuré permit aux Saadiens et aux Alaouites de s'opposer à l'expansion ottomane qui s'arrêta au fleuve de la Moulouya et qui s'étendait sur une grande partie des autres pays arabes actuels. Des désaccords apparus au début du XXe siècle dans la famille alaouite et dans le makhzen plus globalement suite à des problèmes de gestion du pays, créent une période d'instabilité dont vont profiter plusieurs puissances coloniales (Allemagne, Grande-Bretagne, Espagne, France) pour essayer de s'emparer du pays en raison entre autres une position géostratégique intéressante. Après bien des tractations houleuses et secrètes qui faillirent déclencher, dès 1911, la Première Guerre mondiale (coup d'Agadir), le Maroc est partagé entre la France et l'Espagne. -

Travel video about destination Morocco. Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, has the most important harbour in North Africa and is gateway to the magic of the Orient.In the Koran it says: ‘And Allah’s Throne Was On The Water !’ Thus inspired, the Grand Mosque was built on Casablanca’s shoreline. This monumental building was designed to accommodate 105,000 believers and its tall minaret dominates the city’s skyline. More than twelve million people helped finance this ‘Eighth Wonder Of The World’ which involved 90 engineers and 30,000 craftsmen and artists. Lying northwards along the Atlantic coast, is Rabat, Morocco’s capital and home to its government and royal family. The King’s Palace, the Palais Royal, is a town in itself. Surrounded by walls and protected by royal guards, since 1864 it has been the main residence of the Alaouite Dynasty which has been in power since 1666. To the south of RABAT lies Chellah, City of the Dead. The Merinde necropolis has a square tower and is surrounded by a wall made of crushed loam, proof that the Cathagers built a trading centre here in the 3rd century B.C. Amongst the tombs, the sarcophagus of Sultan Abou El-Hassan stands proud with its artistic engravings. Fez El-Bali dates back to the Middle Ages and contains narrow streets, a pungent mixture of scents, the penetrating sound of craftsmen and fine examples of the Moorish art of building. Travelling through the Atlas Mountains, the small town of Ilfrane boasts tranquil parks and ponds, modern residential areas and shady avenues which take the traveller by surprise. Just as with their ancestors over the centuries, even today nomads and their camels traverse the endless Sahara. For a distance of over 40 kilometres, the magic landscape of the sand dunes compares with the largest in the world. Finally, Marrakesh, dreamy city at the foot of the High Atlas and Morocco’s most beautiful city. What better location to end the fairytale that is Morocco! -

Top 7 des choses que l’on ignore sur le Maroc
1. On ne change pas une dynastie qui gagne Le Roi du Maroc, Mohamed VI, est issu d’une famille qui règne sur le Maroc depuis 1666, la dynastie des Alaouites. Elle est l’une des familles royales régnantes les plus anciennes du monde. Un peu comme Vladimir Poutine, sauf que lui, il est tout seul. 2. Un nom qui vient du Portugal (v’là aut’ chose !) Le nom français "Maroc" dérive en réalité de la prononciation portugaise de Marrakech, "Marrocos". On ne verra plus jamais l’accent portugais comme avant. Le nom complet local lui serait plutôt "Al Mamlakah al Maghribiyah". 3. Le Maroc est en Europe. Ou presque... Le Maroc possède en effet 16 kilomètres de frontière terrestre commune avec l’Union européenne, via l’Espagne et les enclaves de Ceuta (6 kilomètres) et Melilla (10 kilomètres) située en ... -
History of Morocco - Every Year
After the Berber revolt in the failing Umayyad Caliphate few Berber states were born which were eventually to form modern Morocco. After the Fall of the First Dynasty in the 970s Morocco quickly expanded to grow to include most of western Africa in the 1100s via the Almoravid dynasty. They experienced another golden age under the Almohad and Marinids but sooned collapsed in smaller vice-royalties and principalities. Under the Saadian dynasty they did make some advances in west africa but were being overcomed by European colonies. In the 1640s the Alaouite dynasty, which is the current dynasty, was founded.However they too were overrun and by the late 1800s to Early 1900 they lost all there land in Algeria, Mauritania, and Western Sahara and became a French protectorate. they regained there... -

Photography Roméo ಇ. Video Clip ᴴᴰ
The history of Morocco spans over twelve centuries, without taking Classical antiquity into consideration. The territory corresponding to Morocco has been inhabited by Berbers for 5000 years. The country was first unified by the Idrisid dynasty in 789, half a century after the Berber Revolt, that led to its independence from the Arab Caliphate. Under the Almoravid dynasty and the Almohad dynasty, Morocco dominated the Maghreb and Muslim Spain. The Reconquista ended Almohad rule in Iberia and many Muslims and Jews migrated to Morocco. Under the Saadi dynasty, Morocco would consolidate power and fight off Portuguese and Ottoman invaders, as in the battle of Ksar el Kebir. The reign of Ahmad al-Mansur brought new wealth and prestige to the Sultanate, and an invasion of the Songhai Empire was ... -
Histoire du Maroc 1/2
Habité dès la préhistoire par des populations berbères, le territoire marocain a connu des peuplements phéniciens, carthaginois, romains, vandales, byzantins avant d'être islamisé par les Arabes. C'est en 788, lors de son exil qu'Idris Ier, fuyant les persécutions du califat des Abbassides, a donné naissance à un État dans ce Maghreb el-Aqça (Maghreb extrême ou extrême couchant)1. Le Maroc a toujours gardé, si ce n'est une indépendance absolue, du moins une très forte autonomie2. Selon l'historien Bernard Lugan, l'attrait, entre autres, des richesses provenant du commerce du Sud (le Sahara) vers le Nord (l'Occident) va attirer les convoitises de diverses tribus avec pour ville carrefour Marrakech (la porte du désert) qui deviendra naturellement la capitale de diverses dynasties, en part... -

Le nom français "Maroc" dérive en réalité de la prononciation portugaise de Marrakech, "Marrocos". On ne verra plus jamais l’accent portugais comme avant. Le nom complet local lui serait plutôt "Al Mamlakah al Maghribiyah".
3. Le Maroc est en Europe. Ou presque...
Le Maroc possède en effet 16 kilomètres de frontière terrestre commune avec l’Union européenne, via l’Espagne et les enclaves de Ceuta (6 kilomètres) et Melilla (10 kilomètres) située en Afrique. Pas besoin de bateau pour passer du Maroc à l'Espagne !
4. ...Mais n'en fera jamais parti
En 1987, le Maroc a tenté d'adhérer à la CEE (Communauté Economique Européenne). Sans succès, il s'est vu octroyer en 2008 un « statut avancé » auprès de l’Union européenne (personne ne sait vraiment ce que c'est on vous rassure vous n'êtes pas seul(e). Avec la Turquie, Israël ou la Serbie, ils pourraient presque faire un club des pays rejetés !
5. Les Marocains, ces montagnards
On imagine trop souvent le Maroc pour ses places et ses déserts. Les montagnes occupent en réalité plus des deux tiers du territoire. Plusieurs sommets franchissent même la barre des 4 000 m: le Jbel Toubkal, le plus haut sommet du pays, culmine à 4 167 m. Hâte de goûter la fondue marocaine cet hiver ?
6. Cannabis Land (t'en veux ?)
La région du Rif (nord Maroc) est la première productrice de résine de cannabis d’Europe (88 % du cannabis consommé en Europe) et le Maroc serait même le plus gros producteur de cannabis... du monde ! C’est quand même plus peace que d’exporter des armes. Et tant qu'on y est le Maroc est aussi le plus grand producteur de sardines en boite au monde (ça y est tu mourras moins bête)
7. Non Marrakech n'est pas la capitale.
Ca c'est le Club Med qui vous fait croire ça. Et Casablanca non plus d'ailleurs. La capitale du Maroc, c'est Rabat. Mais ne vous inquiétez pas, il y a plein d'autres villes dans le monde qu'on prend pour ces capitales

After the Berber revolt in the failing Umayyad Caliphate few Berber states were born which were eventually to form modern Morocco. After the Fall of the First Dynasty in the 970s Morocco quickly expanded to grow to include most of western Africa in the 1100s via the Almoravid dynasty. They experienced another golden age under the Almohad and Marinids but sooned collapsed in smaller vice-royalties and principalities. Under the Saadian dynasty they did make some advances in west africa but were being overcomed by European colonies. In the 1640s the Alaouite dynasty, which is the current dynasty, was founded.However they too were overrun and by the late 1800s to Early 1900 they lost all there land in Algeria, Mauritania, and Western Sahara and became a French protectorate. they regained there independence in 1956 and and since to take back former colonial lands and take a Majority of the Western Sahara.

Ferries to Morocco: http://ferriesmorocco.com/
Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco is a country located in North Africa. It has a population of nearly 32 million and an area of 710.850 km², including the disputed Western Sahara which is mainly under Moroccan administration. Morocco has a coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Spain to the north (a water border through the Strait and land borders with three small Spanish exclaves, Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera), Algeria to the east, and Mauritania to the south.[6]
Morocco is a de jure constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The King of Morocco, holds vast executive powers, including dissolving parliament. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives and the Assembly of Councillors. Parliamentary elections were held in Morocco on 7 September 2007, and were considered by observers as mostly free and fair. Though voter turnout was estimated to be 37%, the lowest in Moroccan political history. The political capital is Rabat, and the largest city is Casablanca; other large cities includes Fes, Salé, Agadir, Marrakesh, Tangier, Meknes, Oujda and Tetouan.
The history of Morocco spans over 12 centuries, and the country was first unified by the Idrisid dynasty in 780, representing the first Islamic state in Africa autonomous from the Arab Empire. Under the Almoravid dynasty and the Almohad dynasty, Morocco dominated the Maghreb and muslim Spain. The Reconquista ended Almohad rule in Iberia and many muslims and Jews migrated to Morocco. Under the Saadi Dynasty, Morocco would consolidate power and fight off Portugese and Ottoman invaders, as in the battle of Ksar el Kebir. The reign of Ahmad al-Mansur brought new wealth and prestige to the Sultanate, and an invasion of the Songhay Empire was initiated. However managing the territories across the Sahara proved to difficult. After the death of al-Mansur the country was divided among his sons. In 1666 the sultanate was reunited by the Alaouite dynasty, who have since been the ruling house in Morocco. The organization of the state developed with Ismail Ibn Sharif. With his Black Guard he drove the English from Tangier (1684) and the Spanish from Larache (1689). The Alaouite dynasty distinguished itself in the 20th century by maintaining Moroccan independence while other states in the region succumbed to European interests. In 1912, after the First Moroccan Crisis and the Agadir Crisis, the Treaty of Fez was signed, effectively dividing Morocco into a French and Spanish protectorate. In 1956, after 44 years of occupation Morocco regained indepedence from France as the Kingdom of Morocco.,
Morocco has a rich culture and civilization, which remained mainly indigenous throughout times and the Moroccan cuisine has long been considered as one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. The population is almost entirely Arab-Berber. Although Moroccan Arabic is the majority language, modern studies show that the Arabization process in Morocco was mostly cultural. The Moroccans or Moroccan Arabs, are a largely homogenous group speaking Moroccan Arabic, altough regional variation does occur. The Berber people in Morocco can be divided in three main groups with different dialects. The Riffians, the Chleuh and the Central Moroccan Amazigh. A large jewish community lived in Morocco before the creation of Israel, numbering approximately 265,000 in 1948. Between 7,000 and 12,000 live there now, mostly in Casablanca, but also in Fes and other main cities. A call made by late king Hassan II to return to Morocco was not answered.
Morocco is the world's third-largest producer of phosphorus and the price fluctuations of phosphates on the international market greatly influence Morocco's economy.

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V contains the tombs of the Moroccan king and his two sons, late King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. It is located on the opposite side of the Hassan Tower on the Yacoub al-Mansour esplanade in Rabat, Morocco. The building is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture, with its white silhouette, topped by a typical green tiled roof. Its construction was completed in 1971. Hassan II was buried there following his death in 1999.

The history of Morocco spans over twelve centuries, without taking Classical antiquity into consideration. The territory corresponding to Morocco has been inhabited by Berbers for 5000 years. The country was first unified by the Idrisid dynasty in 789, half a century after the Berber Revolt, that led to its independence from the Arab Caliphate. Under the Almoravid dynasty and the Almohad dynasty, Morocco dominated the Maghreb and Muslim Spain. The Reconquista ended Almohad rule in Iberia and many Muslims and Jews migrated to Morocco. Under the Saadi dynasty, Morocco would consolidate power and fight off Portuguese and Ottoman invaders, as in the battle of Ksar el Kebir.

Habité dès la préhistoire par des populations berbères, le territoire marocain a connu des peuplements phéniciens, carthaginois, romains, vandales, byzantins avant d'être islamisé par les Arabes. C'est en 788, lors de son exil qu'Idris Ier, fuyant les persécutions du califat des Abbassides, a donné naissance à un État dans ce Maghreb el-Aqça (Maghreb extrême ou extrême couchant)1. Le Maroc a toujours gardé, si ce n'est une indépendance absolue, du moins une très forte autonomie2.
Selon l'historien Bernard Lugan, l'attrait, entre autres, des richesses provenant du commerce du Sud (le Sahara) vers le Nord (l'Occident) va attirer les convoitises de diverses tribus avec pour ville carrefour Marrakech (la porte du désert) qui deviendra naturellement la capitale de diverses dynasties, en particulier celles venant du Sud (Almoravides, Almohades, Saadiens) ; c'est la raison pour laquelle, toute l'histoire du Maroc (des Idrissides aux Alaouites) fut marquée par le commerce des richesses du Sud vers le Nord. L'histoire et l'origine du Maroc furent, sont et seront marquées par le lien avec le Sahara
La fondation du Maroc, pays se considérant arabo-berbère, africain et musulman, se fait avec les Idrissides qui allièrent à leur cause diverses tribus contrôlant des petits royaumes ou territoires indépendants de tout pouvoir central15. Au fur et à mesure des alliances, les Idrissides vont étendre leur influence territoriale avec des populations autochtones et lancer les bases de l'organisation d'un État constitué (Makhzen) reprises par les dynasties suivantes. Si les Idrissides vont commencer à dessiner les bases de l'État et des frontières de l'actuel Maroc, ce sont les Almoravides qui en créant leur capitale Marrakech donneront au pays son nom (le nom Maroc est dû à la déformation linguistique française de Marrakech) ; ils consolideront et élargiront l'œuvre débutante et fragile des Idrissides ; les dynasties suivantes hériteront de l'expérience étatique précédente.
Même si d'autres civilisations du bassin méditerranéen (Rome, Carthage...) ont enrichi l'histoire du pays et même, si des populations de l'actuel Maroc vont participer à l'essor de ces civilisations, les historiens du Maroc considèrent que l'impact de ces civilisations a été limité à l'extrême nord du Maroc et à certains comptoirs commerciaux.
À propos du Maroc, le terme Empire est parfois utilisé car par définition, un empire est un ensemble d'états ou de royaumes (voir les différentes cartes du Maroc). Ceci explique l'appellation « villes impériales » utilisée encore de nos jours pour qualifier les villes de Fès, Marrakech, Meknès et Rabat16.
Lorsque le Maroc se forme, le reste du Maghreb est éclaté sous forme de royaumes ou territoires indépendants, parfois concurrents ou en guerre, sans pouvoir central c'est-à-dire non organisés en État dirigé par des populations autochtones. L'organisation en État structuré permit aux Saadiens et aux Alaouites de s'opposer à l'expansion ottomane qui s'arrêta au fleuve de la Moulouya et qui s'étendait sur une grande partie des autres pays arabes actuels.
Des désaccords apparus au début du XXe siècle dans la famille alaouite et dans le makhzen plus globalement suite à des problèmes de gestion du pays, créent une période d'instabilité dont vont profiter plusieurs puissances coloniales (Allemagne, Grande-Bretagne, Espagne, France) pour essayer de s'emparer du pays en raison entre autres une position géostratégique intéressante. Après bien des tractations houleuses et secrètes qui faillirent déclencher, dès 1911, la Première Guerre mondiale (coup d'Agadir), le Maroc est partagé entre la France et l'Espagne.

Travel video about destination Morocco.
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, has the most important harbour in North Africa and is gateway to the magic of the Orient.In the Koran it says: ‘And Allah’s Throne Was On The Water !’ Thus inspired, the Grand Mosque was built on Casablanca’s shoreline. This monumental building was designed to accommodate 105,000 believers and its tall minaret dominates the city’s skyline. More than twelve million people helped finance this ‘Eighth Wonder Of The World’ which involved 90 engineers and 30,000 craftsmen and artists. Lying northwards along the Atlantic coast, is Rabat, Morocco’s capital and home to its government and royal family. The King’s Palace, the Palais Royal, is a town in itself. Surrounded by walls and protected by royal guards, since 1864 it has been the main residence of the Alaouite Dynasty which has been in power since 1666. To the south of RABAT lies Chellah, City of the Dead. The Merinde necropolis has a square tower and is surrounded by a wall made of crushed loam, proof that the Cathagers built a trading centre here in the 3rd century B.C. Amongst the tombs, the sarcophagus of Sultan Abou El-Hassan stands proud with its artistic engravings. Fez El-Bali dates back to the Middle Ages and contains narrow streets, a pungent mixture of scents, the penetrating sound of craftsmen and fine examples of the Moorish art of building. Travelling through the Atlas Mountains, the small town of Ilfrane boasts tranquil parks and ponds, modern residential areas and shady avenues which take the traveller by surprise. Just as with their ancestors over the centuries, even today nomads and their camels traverse the endless Sahara. For a distance of over 40 kilometres, the magic landscape of the sand dunes compares with the largest in the world. Finally, Marrakesh, dreamy city at the foot of the High Atlas and Morocco’s most beautiful city. What better location to end the fairytale that is Morocco!

Travel video about destination Morocco.
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, has the most important harbour in North Africa and is gateway to the magic of the Orient.In the Koran it says: ‘And Allah’s Throne Was On The Water !’ Thus inspired, the Grand Mosque was built on Casablanca’s shoreline. This monumental building was designed to accommodate 105,000 believers and its tall minaret dominates the city’s skyline. More than twelve million people helped finance this ‘Eighth Wonder Of The World’ which involved 90 engineers and 30,000 craftsmen and artists. Lying northwards along the Atlantic coast, is Rabat, Morocco’s capital and home to its government and royal family. The King’s Palace, the Palais Royal, is a town in itself. Surrounded by walls and protected by royal guards, since 1864 it has been the main residence of the Alaouite Dynasty which has been in power since 1666.

Dating to the 1940s, this home movie shows the men of the Royal Guard of King Mohamed the Fifth, including the pledge of allegiance ceremony. This ceremony occurred annually on 18 November at the Royal Palace in Rabat. The actual year that this was shot is unknown. The Royal Guard was created in 1088 as the "Black Guard" by the Almoravide's Sultan Youssef Ibn Tachfin. It's the world's oldest military corps in activity.
Mohammed V (10 August 1909 – 26 February 1961) was Sultan of Morocco from 1927–53, exiled from 1953–55, where he was again recognized as Sultan upon his return, and King from 1957 to 1961. His full name was Sidi Mohammed ben Yusef, or Son of (Sultan) Yusef, upon whose death he succeeded to the throne. He was a member of the Alaouite Dynasty.
On 20 August 1953, the French who were occupying Morocco at the time forced Mohammed V and his family into exile on Corsica. His uncle, Mohammed Ben Aarafa, was placed on the throne. Mohammed V and his family were then transferred to Madagascar in January 1954. Mohammed V returned from exile on 16 November 1955, and was again recognized as Sultan after active opposition to the French protectorate. In February 1956 he successfully negotiated with France for the independence of Morocco, and in 1957 took the title of King.
The Royal Guard traces its origins to the prestigious Black Guard that was created in 1088 by the Almoravid ruler Yusuf ibn Tashfin as his personal guard. This recruitment tradition was continued by the Almohads through the 15th century. The Alaouite Sultan Moulay Ismail reorganized the Black Guard into permanent infantry and cavalry units at the beginning of the 18th century. He called upon Bambara men who had just converted to Islam, making them take an oath of service on the collection of hadith of the Imam Bukhari. For this reason they were also known as the "Army of Bukhara" or the Boukharis.
Elements of the French Foreign Legion may also be displayed in this film. The Foreign Legion is a military service branch of the French Army established in 1831, unique because it was created for foreign nationals willing to serve in the French Armed Forces.

http://sijilmassatours.com/
Sijilmassa (pronounced sijilmassa), a national historic site recognized by Morocco’s Ministry of Culture, was the fabled and ancient Berber capital of the Tafilalet Kingdom located at the northern edge of the Sahara desert that once rivaled Marrakech.
Founded in A.D. 757 on the banks overlooking the Oued Ziz, a river in the oasis region of the Sahara desert, Sijilmassa grew wealthy and powerful during the Middle Ages as a gold-trade-route city strategically located at the exit-point of the western Trans-Saharan caravan trade route -- which extended from the Niger River in the Sudan to Tangier in northern Morocco.
From the 10th to the 12th centuries Sijilmassa was the center of the Gold trade between Morocco and the Sudan, and its legendary glory owes much to this position. Even after its fall as a great commercial center and caravan endpoint, the region of Sijilmassa remained instrumental in the minting of gold brought from the Sudan.
Until the 10th century, control over the right to mint coins was held by the central government in the Orient as a means to control the vast expanses of the Arab world. Gold became a key resource in managing the growth of Arab and European economies in the North, and when confronted with the lack of it in their own territories, they started spinning myths about the abundance of gold south of the Sahara that greatly increased caravan commerce. As the flow of gold increased, the temptation to refine and mint it on the way, rather than at its final destination also increased. The minting of gold in Sijilmassa was one of the first acts of rebellion of the Fatimid dynasty, who originated from what is modern day Tunisia (Ifriqiya). In doing so, they directly opposed the ruling government in Baghdad.
Sudanese gold refined in Sijilmassa also made it to Europe, where it was minted into European coins. The identical quality and gold proportion between European and Moroccan coins attests to the importance of trade between these regions- and it seems that Europeans minted similar coins precisely to purchase Maghrebi luxury goods.
Sijilmassa was initially destroyed in 1363 and rebuilt by Sultan Moulay Isma’il, one of the first rulers (1672 – 1727) of the Alaouite dynasty that governs Morocco today. Ultimately, the city of Sijilmassa was conquered by Ait Atta nomads in 1818. The Roman ruins and Grand Mosque, which was last rebuilt in 1796 and serves as the central feature of this medieval town, are made of unbaked brick that require continual maintenance to preserve.
In 1996 Sijilmassa was included on the very first World Monuments Watch “List of 100 Most Endangered Sites”, a list created to focus international attention on the cultural significance and threats to endangered locations worldwide, as well as to help raise the necessary funds for preservation. The Watch is a program of the World Monuments Fund (WMF), a New York-based non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting endangered works of art and architecture around the globe.

Sijilmassa (pronounced sijilmassa), a national historic site recognized by Morocco’s Ministry of Culture, was the fabled and ancient Berber capital of the Tafilalet Kingdom located at the northern edge of the Sahara desert that once rivaled Marrakech.
Founded in A.D. 757 on the banks overlooking the Oued Ziz, a river in the oasis region of the Sahara desert, Sijilmassa grew wealthy and powerful during the Middle Ages as a gold-trade-route city strategically located at the exit-point of the western Trans-Saharan caravan trade route -- which extended from the Niger River in the Sudan to Tangier in northern Morocco.
From the 10th to the 12th centuries Sijilmassa was the center of the Gold trade between Morocco and the Sudan, and its legendary glory owes much to this position. Even after its fall as a great commercial center and caravan endpoint, the region of Sijilmassa remained instrumental in the minting of gold brought from the Sudan.
Until the 10th century, control over the right to mint coins was held by the central government in the Orient as a means to control the vast expanses of the Arab world. Gold became a key resource in managing the growth of Arab and European economies in the North, and when confronted with the lack of it in their own territories, they started spinning myths about the abundance of gold south of the Sahara that greatly increased caravan commerce. As the flow of gold increased, the temptation to refine and mint it on the way, rather than at its final destination also increased. The minting of gold in Sijilmassa was one of the first acts of rebellion of the Fatimid dynasty, who originated from what is modern day Tunisia (Ifriqiya). In doing so, they directly opposed the ruling government in Baghdad.
Sudanese gold refined in Sijilmassa also made it to Europe, where it was minted into European coins. The identical quality and gold proportion between European and Moroccan coins attests to the importance of trade between these regions- and it seems that Europeans minted similar coins precisely to purchase Maghrebi luxury goods.

Travel video about destination Morocco. www.ubtravels.com
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, has the most important harbour in North Africa and is gateway to the magic of the Orient.In the Koran it says: ‘And Allah’s Throne Was On The Water !’ Thus inspired, the Grand Mosque was built on Casablanca’s shoreline. This monumental building was designed to accommodate 105,000 believers and its tall minaret dominates the city’s skyline. More than twelve million people helped finance this ‘Eighth Wonder Of The World’ which involved 90 engineers and 30,000 craftsmen and artists. Lying northwards along the Atlantic coast, is Rabat, Morocco’s capital and home to its government and royal family. The King’s Palace, the Palais Royal, is a town in itself. Surrounded by walls and protected by royal guards, since 1864 it has been the main residence of the Alaouite Dynasty which has been in power since 1666. To the south of RABAT lies Chellah, City of the Dead. The Merinde necropolis has a square tower and is surrounded by a wall made of crushed loam, proof that the Cathagers built a trading centre here in the 3rd century B.C. Amongst the tombs, the sarcophagus of Sultan Abou El-Hassan stands proud with its artistic engravings. Fez El-Bali dates back to the Middle Ages and contains narrow streets, a pungent mixture of scents, the penetrating sound of craftsmen and fine examples of the Moorish art of building. Travelling through the Atlas Mountains, the small town of Ilfrane boasts tranquil parks and ponds, modern residential areas and shady avenues which take the traveller by surprise. Just as with their ancestors over the centuries, even today nomads and their camels traverse the endless Sahara. For a distance of over 40 kilometres, the magic landscape of the sand dunes compares with the largest in the world. Finally, Marrakesh, dreamy city at the foot of the High Atlas and Morocco’s most beautiful city. What better location to end the fairytale that is Morocco!
